Success.
Penelope Cruz reportedly earned $1.6 million for her role in 2005's Sahara, but now that she has an Oscar win for Vicky Christina Barcelona in her bio, she'll probably be worth much more in the future. Her boyfriend Javier Bardem is also an Oscar winner, thanks to 2007's No Country for Old Men. There's no word on how much he earns per film, but having become a darling of the Spanish and American cinemas, it's probably a fair amount.

Attractiveness.
Maybe it's the Spanish blood, but these two are undeniably sexy. Her wild hair and interestingly beautiful features are striking, while his rugged good looks and charming smile steal the show. But let's hope their relationship isn't quite as impassioned as it was onscreen:

Popularity.
In March, 368,000 Google users searched the site for information about Penelope and 74,000 searched for Javier. It's safe to say that Penelope has far more name recognition and exposure than her boyfriend.

Who's Dated Who

Staying Power.
These two have been dating since 2007, but nothing's set in stone yet. Penelope's enjoyed a star-studded romantic past, having been linked to Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey, and she and Javier haven't made any plans to tie the knot -- at least not that the press knows about.

Compatibility.
Bardem is a Pisces, and Cruz is a Taurus, so this match is bound for success. His dreaming is perfectly countered by her down-to-earth attitude, and they will shower each other with love and devotion. If it's half as intense as Vicky Christina Barcelona, these two are in for something special.
