Ahoy, there: The actress is gearing up to shoot Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tide


For years Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem tried to keep their romance out of the spotlight, but it was put under full glare in Hawaii earlier this week.

The low-profile couple, who have been the subject of engagement rumors in recent months, cosied up in the sunshine during a romantic break together.

The Spanish actress, 36, looked stylish in a simple one-piece black swimsuit while the actor, 41, wore matching trunks.

Cruz is in Hawaii to begin preparations for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the fourth installment of the popular Disney franchise.

And Bardem, who recently finished filiming Eat, Love, Pray with Julia Roberts, tagged along too.

The pair quietly began dating in 2007 and the relationship appears to be going from strength to strength.

Bardem even made a public declaration of his love for the brunette last month as he collected his Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival.

After accepting the trophy, he told the audience: 'I share this joy with my friend, my companion, my love: Penelope: I owe you a lot and I love you so much.'

And it seemed the dedication was entirely unplanned, with Penelope becoming teary-eyed as she listened to his words.

Cruz has previously said that while she is uncertain about marriage, she is very keen to have children.

She told the UK's Psychologies magazine last year: 'I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

'I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.'
