Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem first met in 1992 when they both had roles in the Spanish film Jamon Jamon. The two have been pulled together once again in a Woody Allen film Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

The couple had not responded to rumors of a renewed relationship until Woody Harrelson let the cat out of the bag while presenting The Montecito award to Bardem for his supporting role in No Country for Old Men at the Santa Barbara Film Festival on Tuesday. The actor also won a Golden Globe Award for the movie, and is up for an Oscar.

Harrelson remarked:

“I can’t believe the luck Javier has. If you look at his biography - one page is just describing his journey and then the second page is all of the awards he’s won. And not to mention, I found this out last night too - he’s going out with Penelope Cruz!”

The audience cheered at Harrelson’s remarks and the embarrassed Bardem hung his head and covered his face with his hands.

The couple are set to begin production on another Woody Allen film Nine. We’ve included a photo of Cruz from the movie the couple have just finished, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. There is also a tabloid cover showing the couple in the Maldives last Fall.
