Melanie Griffith is the proud mother of three adult children. Her eldest child is son Alexander Bauer, whom she shares with ex-husband Steven Bauer. Next, Melanie has daughter Dakota Johnson, who is her only child from her high-profile marriage to actor Don Johnson. And finally, Melanie’s youngest child is daughter Stella Banderas, whose father is actor Antonio Banderas. Melanie is no longer married to any of her children’s fathers, but she still has close relationships with all her kids. 

Dakota is easily the most famous of Melanie’s kids. She’s gone on to become a succesful actress, with her most notable role being in the ‘Fifty Shades’ films. Here, Melanie and Dakota attend the LACMA: Art and Film Gala in Los Angeles on November 4, 2017. To see more photos of Melanie with all three of her children, click through the gallery.
