=== Religious beliefs ===
Banderas once described himself as an [[Agnosticism|agnostic]] in an interview with ''People'' magazine in 2006: "I have to recognize that I am agnostic. I don’t believe in any kind of fundamentalism. I prefer to take life in a different way, with a sense of humor. I try to teach my kids to be open. Whatever they believe is fine with me."<ref>{{cite web|title=Antonio Banderas Puts on His Dancing Shoes|url=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1181281,00.html|work=People|access-date=28 June 2011|archive-date=11 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511193624/http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1181281,00.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> He does describe himself close to [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] [[Catholic spirituality|spirituality]], especially to [[Holy Week]], which he considers a "metaphor for life".<ref>{{cite news|title=Antonio Banderas: "La Semana Santa es una metáfora de la vida, a veces toca lágrimas, otras favores"|url=https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/5230224/0/antonio-banderas-semana-santa-es-una-metafora-vida-veces-toca-lagrimas-otras-favores/|date=March 24, 2024|publisher=20 Minutos|accessdate=February 18, 2025|language=Spanish}}</ref> He is an officer (''mayordomo de trono'') of a religious brotherhood in his hometown of [[Málaga]] and travels during Holy Week to take part in the [[Holy Week in Málaga|processions]].<ref name="ABC">''[http://www.abc.es/20100329/gente-famosos/antonio-banderas-semana-santa-201003291143.html Antonio Banderas, en la Semana Santa malagueña]'', ''ABC'', 30 March 2010.</ref> Banderas developed his relationship with Catholicism back in 1994 after a spiritual search.<ref name=religion>{{cite news|title=Antonio Banderas relata su búsqueda espiritual, su alejamiento de la Iglesia y su paulatina vuelta|url=https://www.religionenlibertad.com/personajes/63689/antonio-banderas-relata-busqueda-espiritual-alejamiento-iglesia.html|publisher=Religión en libertad|date=April 13, 2018|language=Spanish}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Antonio Banderas: «La Semana Santa me acercó a la Iglesia de nuevo»|url=https://www.diocesismalaga.es/pagina-de-inicio/2014048946/la-semana-santa-me-acerco-a-la-iglesia-de-nuevo/|publisher=Diócesis de Málaga|date=April 13, 2018|language=Spanish}}</ref>

{{blockquote|"There was a moment in my life in which I separated a bit from the Church. I was searching for a spiritual connection in other places, until in 1994, after my brother had a surgery we were very afraid of, in which we could lose him, I realized I should have not searched for so much, that I had had always that connection with the trascendental in front of my face. It also happened in a way which followed our own traditions, which we shouldn't look for in [[the Buddha]], as these characters were right there. In my own neighborhood was that way to connect myself to the trascendental through the [[Passion of Jesus|Passion of the Christ]], until concluding in [[Resurrection of Jesus|Resurrection]]."}}

In 2021, he described his religious beliefs and vision of the Holy Week to ''[[El País]]'':<ref>{{cite web|title=Antonio Banderas: "Soy un demócrata, respeto la decisión de la mayoría. Pero estamos siendo gobernados por muchas minorías"|url=https://elpais.com/icon/2021-12-31/antonio-banderas-soy-un-democrata-respeto-la-decision-de-la-mayoria-pero-estamos-siendo-gobernados-por-muchas-minorias.html#|last=Hermida|first=Xosé|publisher=[[El País]]|date=31 December 2021|language=Spanish}}</ref>

{{blockquote|"I live comfortably in the mystery, I'm very doubting, I don't know if agnostic is exactly the word. But I think yes, there is something, although we don't know what is it. The [[Big Bang]], yes, and before the Big Bang, what? Holy Week has many colors, it's a very strange poliedrum. It is related to faith, popular religion and Andalusian idiosyncrasy. It's just the Roman [[Ides of March]]: winter dies and spring is born. The Andalusian version is so colourful and merry because everybody knows the guy will resurrect on Sunday. And there is a happy ending."}}

=== Relationships ===
[[File:Antonio Banderas-Melanie Griffith-2010.jpg|thumb|upright|Banderas with then-wife [[Melanie Griffith]] in 2010]]
