On Friday it was reported that Antonio Banderas has been dating leggy Dutch investment consultant Nicole Kempel.

But his soon-to-be-ex-wife Melanie Griffith didn't seem to be too upset by the report as she smiled while exiting Beso in Hollywood with her famous friend Eva Longoria.

Dressed in ripped jeans and a white button-down shirt, the 57-year-old actress looked every inch A list as she was seen getting into a car with an older gentleman.

She dropped her famous husband, but has an even more famous best friend: Melanie Griffith took in dinner with pal Eva Longoria at Beso in Hollywood on Friday evening

The blonde appeared to be having a fun evening with Longoria, who is one of the owners of Beso.

The two stars were seen leaving the Mexican restaurant side by side and hugged on the sidewalk before saying goodbye.

Eva was equally chic in a similar look only she paired her white blouse and jeans with saucy red pumps.

Melanie chose her accessories well.

She carried a small, flirty white purse over her shoulder.

On her feet were peep toe sandal heels that had a sling back.

The Mulholland Falls actress wore pretty makeup that wasn't overdone and had her nails manicured beautifully.

She wore no wedding jewelry and her Antonio love tattoo on her upper arm, which she has been having lasered off, was covered by her long-sleeved shirt.

The gentleman who rode in Melanie's passenger seat didn't appear to be a love interest, though he did seem to have bought her two long-stemmed red roses.

With a grey beard and prescription glasses, he cut a dashing figure but did not seem to be her type.

The Working Girl actress has mostly been linked with actors. Before Banderas, she was with Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame and Steven Bauer, who appeared in Scarface.

Banderas and his alleged gal pal Nicole set tongues wagging when they were reportedly snapped dancing together before heading back to their hotel hand in hand in St Tropez in August.

And now it has emerged that Antonio, 54, and Nicole are an item, and have been discretely dating.

Spanish magazine Hola! reports Nicole had nothing to do with Antonio and Melanie's split.

'Nicole has in no way fuelled or been the cause of the split between the actor and Melanie Griffith, since,' sources tell the magazine, adding that the pair met after Antonio's separation.

The news emerged as Melanie was seen viewing a new $5.6million five-bedroom Hollywood Hills home on Thursday.

Dressed in floral patterned leggings and a T-shirt, the blonde actress had a smile on her face.

Mother-of-three Melanie told Indiewire last month: 'My kids are almost grown. I'm getting divorced. I'm just happy. I'm really joyful. Life is good.

'I'm going to do a lot of things. I'm going to do Pippin on Broadway in January, [but] it's not about my career now. It's just about finding great work and having a good time.'

The former couple are parents to daughter Stella, who turns 18-years-old this month.
