Antonio Banderas linked to Dutch investment banker Nicole Kempel

SAINT-TROPEZ, France, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Newly single Antonio Banderas has reportedly found a new lady love.

The 54-year-old Spanish actor has reportedly been dating Dutch investment consultant Nicole Kempel. The Daily Mail reports the two were seen together at a club in Saint-Tropez just months after news of Banderas' separation from Melanie Griffith was revealed.

Banderas and Kempel were reportedly seen dancing together and later leaving for the hotel hand in hand at the time.

Reports of the new couple's relationship were followed by news that Kempel was not involved in the dissolution of Banderas' 18-year marriage with Griffith.

"Nicole has in no way fueled or been the cause of the split between the actor and Melanie Griffith," sources told Hello! magazine, adding the two met after the actor's separation.

Griffith filled for divorce from Banderas in June citing "irreconcilable differences." The two have been making headlines ever since over Banderas' partying on the French island and Griffith's not-so-clever attempts at covering up her "Antonio" tattoo while she gets it removed permanently.
