If your mom is member of one of Hollywood’s ‘royal families’ and your dad is one of the most famous Spanish heart-throbs, keeping a low profile will be no mean feat - especially with today’s rampant social media use. Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith’s 23-year-old daughter Stella Banderas doesn’t tend to overshare, but it´s her mom Melanie who has given us beautiful glimpses of her daugher’s life since she was a baby. With sister Dakota, grandma Tippi or posing with mom and dad, the images show a happy, united and surprisingly normal family where love, harmony and respect rule.

A sweet picture of one-year-old Stella with sister Dakota Johnson and brother Alexander where we can see the striking resemblance she shares with dad Antonio! Stella is very close to her siblings, specially to Dakota, who absoluteley adores her little sister.

This is the title Melanie chose to describe this sweet picture of daughters Stella and Dakota snoozing away. Dakota, whose dad is actor Don Johnson, is Stella’s biggest support. We have seen the sisters having casual coffee dates, organising birthday parties and, basically, adoring each other!

So much fun! Litte wild Stella striking a pose in black and white tights. Antonio’ and Melanie’s daughter has inherited their charisma and talent and last year she enrolled in prestigious acting school Stella Adler, where her mom also studied.

Antonio Banderas is very proud of his daughter, when he won a Goya Award for his career, his first words were for her: “Every award has to be dedicated, and I want to dedicate this one to whom has suffered the most my passion for films, my long absences, my work commitments,” he said in his emotional speech, “I missed her best snapshots, her best scenes, and still, she’s my best production, I dedicate this award to you by saying sorry, this is for you Stella.”

Even though Melanie and Antonio split in 2014 after 16 years together, they still have an warm relationship and would do anything for Stella. We saw them together at their daughter’s graduation, as documented by the acress on social media with this caption: " Mama, Stella and Papi. Our angel is amazing. Beginning the next chapter of her life! Freedom!!"

Melanie has not only shared sweet images of her daughter with other members of the family. On many occassions she has showed her daughter to her followers engaged in everyday activities. Like in this picture, where, as any other girl her age, Stella is doing her research on colleges.

Another stunning picture of Stella during one of her walks. Antonio’s daughter has turned into a beautiful young lady who has conquered the heart of Eli Meyer - NBC’s Vice President Ron Meyer’s son.
