The duo looked picture-perfect, with Kimpel looking radiant in a sequinned ensemble with her hair gracefully down, while Banderas, always the epitome of suave, donned a classic black suit and tie.
The affectionate couple has frequently graced red carpets with Kimpel proudly by Banderas' side. They attended the Talia Awards Candidates party in March, and the 95th Annual Academy Awards and looked stunning in their chic attire.
In February, they appeared at the 2023 CEC Medal of Honor ceremony at Madrid's Palacio de la Prensa cinema.
In the early stages of their relationship, Banderas admitted Kimpel was somewhat reticent in the public eye. A Dutch investment consultant then, Kimpel's professional life remained distinct from Banderas' glittering career, which the actor appreciated.

Born in Germany, Kimpel moved to the United States for her college education. However, she completed her degree in Geneva, Switzerland. After a stint in banking and finance, Kimpel, alongside her twin sister Barbara, launched their own business, Baniki.
Before dating Kimpel, Banderas was married to Melanie Griffith. The former love birds broke up in 2014 after Griffith filed for a divorce.
Despite being one of the biggest names in Hollywood, Banderas cherished simple, cozy date nights with Kimpel, without the glitz and glamour.

"For us? It's exactly the opposite of what we've done today," he said at the 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, "Basically it's reading books, exercising, visiting family."
Banderas previously shared how Kimpel saved his life during a heart attack. As he recounted, she had bought aspirin from a supermarket to alleviate her headache the previous night.
When he started having heart attack symptoms the following day, Kimpel quickly put aspirin on his tongue, an act Banderas said saved his life.
