Griffith filed for divorce from Banderas, citing irreconcilable differences, according to documents obtained by TMZ, which first reported their split.
Griffith, 56, who attended a private American Film Institute tribute ceremony in Hollywood honoring Jane Fonda with Eva Longoria on Thursday, seeks spousal support from Banderas, 53, and joint legal custody for their daughter Stella.
Banderas and Stella, 18, were spotted Wednesday enjoying a "quiet and low-key" lunch at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills, an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
No separation date was given. Sources told TMZ that the split is amicable. The couple shot down rumors of marital problems in 2012, with a source telling PEOPLE they seemed "very happy, mutually supportive, loving," even after Banderas was seen on video dancing with actress Mallika Sherawat in Cannes and Griffith was later spotted briefly without her wedding ring.
But Griffith seemed all smiles on the AFI red carpet, wearing her ring as she happily posed with Longoria and Rosanna Arquette. The couple was last photographed together on March 16 as they arrived at the airport in Los Angeles where she also wore her wedding ring.
Griffith, the daughter of screen star Tippi Hedren and a Golden Globe winner for 1989's Working Girl, has been married four times, including twice to actor Don Johnson, with whom she has daughter Dakota, 24, who is starring in the film adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey
Banderas has been married twice. He was divorced from first wife, Spanish actress Ana Leza, in 1996 after nine years together.
