It's understood Andres had a crush on Buscemi when she was a teenager, but she didn't recognise him when they first met.
The Boardwalk Empire star said when they had finally crossed paths, it took a bit for things to 'click'.
"When we met, she didn't realise I was the guy on the poster. When we got to my apartment, she saw the same poster and said, 'That's you!'" he has said previously.
The couple had not been seen on the red carpet together since mid 2018.
Just heard the tragic news about Jo Andres Buscemi. She was absolutely one of the loveliest people,and she and Steve had a real love story. What a shame. Just heartbreaking.
