Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith Duel for Relationship Control (VIDEO)
Antonio Banderas is reportedly desperate to keep his marriage with Melanie Griffith intact after reports of his infidelity took their toll.
A number of recent reports have claimed that Banderas has been unfaithful to his wife of 15 years. Amongst other incidents, the actor was allegedly spotted kissing another woman while vacationing in Cancun. Griffith's initial response was not promising.
"BoyfriEND, girlfriEND, friEND, everything has an end, except for family," the star posted online, according to Celeb Dirty Laundry.
However, Griffith, who has a tattoo of Bandera's name encompassed by a heart of her right arm, may still consider her husband family for now. It appears the Banderas has putting in the elbow grease to woo the love of his life.
"Antonio has been desperately trying to win Melanie's trust back," a source reported to RadarOnline on Tuesday. "He has been doing everything in his power to revive the romance -- flowers, sweet-talking on the phone, and extravagant gifts -- because he realizes that she is close to her breaking point."
Proof of her breaking point came last week when the star was photographed out and about in town without wearing her wedding ring.
"She is playing hard to get," the source stated. "She has always known how to keep him on his toes and it wasn't a coincidence that the cameras caught her with her wedding ring off! Ultimately she will probably stay with him but not before making him squirm."
If the actress does plan on giving in, she hasn't shown any signs of it yet.
"The day Antonio flew into Los Angeles for a work gig, Melanie left with the kids for Aspen. She isn't messing around," the source said, adding that "the last thing Banderas wants is a nasty high-profile divorce. Despite their problems he still loves her and will do anything to keep her from leaving him."
