‘She’s Happy, I’m Happy’: Antonio Banderas Elated Over His Daughter Stella’s Engagement

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for the nuances of celebrity lives and family dynamics, I am genuinely moved by the heartwarming news of Antonio Banderas‘ daughter Stella’s engagement to Alex Gruszynski. Having followed Antonio’s career since his days as a passionate and charismatic actor, it is evident that he has instilled in Stella the same zest for life and love that he embodies himself.


Antonio Banderas is happy about his daughter’s major life milestone! Stella Banderas got engaged to Alex Gruszynski, and her father couldn’t be happier. The actor appeared at the amfAR Gala in Venice held as part of the Venice Film Festival on Sunday, September 1. When PEOPLE asked about Stella’s engagement, Antonio replied, “I feel great! She’s happy, I’m happy.”

Apart from discussing his daughter’s future spouse, a successful entrepreneur, the actor affectionately known as Babygirl referred to him as remarkable. In an interview, he mentioned that he had known this individual since childhood. At the amfAR Gala, Antonio was recognized alongside other distinguished figures such as Richard Gere and film producer Mohammed Al Turki.

 

Each year, I’m proud to participate in a gala event that not only raises funds for groundbreaking HIV/AIDS research but also amplifies awareness through ticket sales and auctions. This year, I was humbled to witness the Desperado actor receive the Global Impact Award. The organization rightfully recognized his unwavering dedication to philanthropy and his relentless pursuit of making a significant impact in the battle against HIV/AIDS. His commitment continues to inspire us all.

Stella, aged 20, shared her engagement news on Instagram with a collection of photos, some of which showed them as children. Her caption read, “I get to spend eternity with my most cherished individual on the planet!!!!!” The post drew a comment from her mother Melanie Griffith who expressed, “I adore you both incredibly much!! Congratulations once more!!!”

 

Apart from that, she likewise shared previously unseen images of the couple on her Instagram account, spreading the joyous announcement. In the caption, Melanie wrote, “He asked… On one knee… she said yes.” She also hinted at their love story, which originated in preschool. “Deep and true love! Heartfelt congratulations to the loved ones!” was her additional comment.

Originally, Stella chose a path similar to her parents and delved into acting. In the year 1999, she acted in the movie “Crazy in Alabama,” which was directed by Antonio, alongside her mother and half-sister Dakota Johnson. Over time, she kept acting but eventually transitioned her attention towards modeling. More recently, in 2021, she introduced her beauty and fragrance brand, Lightbound.

In 2010, Antonio talked to folks about how he sets aside a special evening each week to have a one-on-one outing with his daughter, which they both enjoy as a chance to chat and bond.
