Not everybody knows that Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson is ex-stepdaughter of Antonio Banderas! We were even more surprised when we found out that they have had a strong friendship for over 2 decades, despite the fact that Antonio and Dakota’s mother Melanie Griffith are no longer together.

Here at Bright Side, we admire people who maintain warm relationships after their breakup, especially when children remain close friends with their step-parents.

1. Antonio considers Dakota his daughter.

Antonio always speaks warmly about his love toward Dakota, calling her his daughter. Johnson also opened up, saying that Banderas is actually one of the most influential people in her life, that he brought a whole new world of creativity and culture into the family.

2. Now Dakota has a half-sister — Stella Banderas.

In 1996, Banderas and Griffith welcomed their daughter Stella del Carmen Banderas, who is 7 years younger than Dakota. Dakota also opened up that she`s grateful to her stepfather for her younger sister and called her “magical”.
