Anthony Hopkins and Stella Arroyave tied the knot at Hopkin’s mansion in Malibu in March 2003. The guest list included big showbiz names such as Nicole Kidman, Winona Ryder, and Steven Spielberg, per The Telegraph. His wedding to Arroyave marked the actor’s third. He was married to Jennifer Lynton for nearly three decades from 1973 to 2002, per BBC News. Before that, Hopkins was hitched to Petronella Barker from 1966 through 1972. He and Barker had a daughter together named Abigail, although Hopkins has made headlines for his estranged relationship with her.
According to The Telegraph, Arroyave — who was born in Colombia and worked as an antique dealer — met the actor in 2001 when he was shopping for furniture at her store in Los Angeles. Talk about an unexpected meet-cute, huh? Since then, Arroyave’s career has shifted, and she’s started to work in movies. Per IMDb, she appeared in two on-screen projects, Slipstream and The Human Stain, and she also produced and wrote her own screenplay called Elyse.
