The coupe of 18 years announced their plans to divorce in June 2014. They have a 19-year-old daughter, Stella.
Hollywood stars Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith’s divorce will reportedly be confirmed later this month after a deal was reached.
Now, something happened in 2004 – TMZ says it was a postnuptial agreement – that means the two will split all money on entertainment projects they participated in between January of that year and May 31, 2014, which was right before she filed for divorce.
“We have thoughtfully and consensually chose to finalize our nearly 20 years of marriage in a loving and friendly manner honoring and respecting each other, our family and friends and the attractive time we have spent together”, they said in a joint statement at the time, as HNGN previously reported.
Griffith, who earned an Oscar nomination for her role in “Working Girl”, has in recent years guest-starred on the television shows “Hawaii Five-0”, “Hot in Cleveland” and “Raising Hope”.
This is the fourth divorce for Griffith.
TMZ added that between 1996 and 2004, each kept the money they made from their work during and prior to their marriage.

The pair’s divorce judgment divides the actors’ share of profits from numerous films, including several movies in the “Shrek” franchise. The former couple must also sell their marital home in Los Angeles and split the profits. They’ll split what they made between 2004 and 2014, for films that include Shrek 2 and Expendables 3.
