Their Relationship

Some Hollywood couples just look too good together to break up. Before Ana De Armas hit the red carpet with Ben Affleck, she was married to model and actor Marc Clotet. The two Spanish actors paraded their love all around Hollywood. They were like a match made in Heaven. Unfortunately, their marriage ended as soon as it began. The pair were married for two full years from 2011 to 2013. Rather than bashing each other during the divorce proceedings, the couple remained friends. Clotet confirmed their split to Diez Minutos while attending the 2013 Goya Awards. During the brief interview, the 40-year-old revealed, "we are still friends." Most Hollywood couples find it difficult to even stand within an inch of their ex-lover. It’s refreshing to see an ex-couple such as Armas and Clotet remain good friends with each other.
