Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith’s daughter Stella officially said ‘I do’ to her childhood sweetheart during a dreamy Spanish wedding over the weekend.
The 65-year-old actor was seen toasting the newlyweds as his daughter, 29, married Alex Gruszynski on Saturday in Spain.
It comes a little over one year after the couple announced their engagement in August 2024, with the Desperado actor expressing he was ‘happy’ for the lovebirds at the time.
Antonio and Melanie were previously married from 1996 until their divorce in 2015 – but have remained close friends despite the split.
Antonio was dapper in a classic black tuxedo which was paired with a white dress shirt and black bowtie for the big day – with Melanie also in attendance at the nuptials.
At one point, he could be seen holding up a glass of wine as he proudly celebrated his daughter’s special milestone.

The actor stood outside as the sun began to set in the distance at what appeared to be a winery.
He mingled and cheerfully conversed with people nearby while sipping on a refreshing glass of white wine.
Last year in August, Stella jumped to social media to announce her engagement to Alex – whom she has known since they were kids.
She had given her followers a glimpse at her sparkling diamond ring in a sweet snap not long after he popped the big question.
Stella penned in the caption of the post at the time, ‘I get to hang out with my favorite person on earth forever!!!!!!!!’
Her mother Melanie also jumped to the comment section to gush, ‘I love you both sooooo much!! Congratulations again!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️.’
The actress later uploaded a separate post of her own in celebration of her daughter’s engagement and wrote, ‘He asked…. On bended knee… she said yes ♥️ Stella and Alex are engaged to be married ♥️.’
Melanie continued, ‘Their love story began in pre-school! True love, deep love! Congratulations to the beloveds!!! ♥️♥️♥️.’

After the engagement was announced, Antonio offered his thoughts on his daughter getting married.
‘I feel great! She’s happy, I’m happy,’ The Mask Of Zorro actor told People last year in September.
He also had kind words to say about his son-in-law Alex and added, ‘He’s awesome. I’ve known him since he was a little kid.’
Antonio and Melanie welcomed their daughter Stella to the world in 1996 – the same year they tied the knot. The former couple announced their separation in 2014, with the divorce being finalized the following year.
Melanie – whose mother is actress Tippi Hedren – was also previously married to Don Johnson, whom she shares Dakota Johnson, 36, with. She is also mom to son Alexander Bauer, 40, whom she welcomed with ex Steven Bauer.
Despite their divorce, both Antonio and Melanie have still remained close of the years which the actor has opened up about.
‘I’m a very good friend of my ex-wife. I don’t have anything against her,’ the actor told Fox News Digital in 2023.
‘She’s a wonderful woman and I still respect and support that idea that everything that happened between her and me for 20 years was beautiful.’
Her mother Melanie also jumped to the comment section to gush, ‘I love you both sooooo much!! Congratulations again!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️’
