Melanie Griffith, a mother of two, is widely recognized for her eldest daughter, Dakota Johnson, who gained fame through her role in “50 Shades of Grey.” However, what about her youngest daughter?
During her second marriage to Joe Johnson, Melanie Griffith and Joe welcomed their daughter, Dakota Johnson. Sadly, the birth of their child did not strengthen their relationship, and they ultimately separated in 1995.
Shortly after, while filming “Two Much,” Griffith crossed paths with Antonio Banderas. Despite both actors going through divorces at the time (she from Johnson and he from his wife Ana Lesa), a passionate romance blossomed between them.
Griffith soon discovered she was pregnant, and on May 14, 1996, she and Banderas tied the knot. A few months later, on September 24 of the same year, they welcomed their daughter, Stella del Carmen Banderas Griffith, into the world.
Despite their separation in 2014, Griffith and Banderas have maintained a strong relationship, particularly for the well-being of their daughter.
Today, Stella is 24 years old and has blossomed into a stunning beauty, inheriting the best qualities from both her mother and father. Although she made an appearance in her first and only film back in 1999, Stella does not see herself pursuing acting, despite the influence of her parents.
Instead, she has made a name for herself as a model and businesswoman, with Banderas even supporting her in launching her own perfume.
