Melanie Griffith split separation antonio banderas Taormina italy wedding ring

Griffith filed for divorce from Antonio Banderas after 18 years of marriage, and her legal docs cite irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

Melanie arrived in town for the Taormina Film Festival yesterday, and she was joined by her publicist and several pals. Mel is set to receive an award for her contributions in film, so it seems like this is just the thing to keep her mind off of her break up...
