Matthew McConaughey and Penélope CruzMatthew McConaughey has happy that he’s still good friends with ex-girlfriend Penélope Cruz and they “still love each other”.

The pair met while filming Sahara together in 2003 but split earlier this year because they’re just too busy to be in a relationship right now.

Matthew said recently: “break-ups suck, but it was true and honest and we both still respect each other and we’re still friends.”

“That is the most that I could ask for out of any kind of break-up… We still care about each other, we still love each other.”
