Later that year they announced that they were "no longer intimate and separating was the best thing to do at this time".[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/l%20cite_note-10][u][size=21][color:9754=#0000ff][11][/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21] At the start of 2007, Penélope Cruz and [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/U2][u][size=21][color:9754=#0000ff]U2[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21]'s [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Bono][u][size=21][color:9754=#0000ff]Bono[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21] were rumored as having an affair after being photographed holding hands.

In April 2007 Cruz, who was single at the time, stated that she would like to have children one day and she feels the need to adopt. "Of course I want to have kids," Cruz, 34, told the Spanish edition of [i]Marie Claire[/i] in its April issue. "I want to have my own kids, but also adopt. For a while I've had the feeling that my life won't be complete if I don't adopt"[/size]
