You are beautiful inside and out, and I’m so blessed to have you in my life!! I love you madly xoxo,” she continued.
What’s interesting is that Melanie isn’t the only person celebrating her birthday. Her ex-husband Antonio Banderas is one day after hers, and today he is officially 62.

Six years later they found themselves on set playing a couple in the 1995 rom-com Two Much. Griffith was still married to Don Johnson, and Antonio, to Ana Leza.
The chemistry was instant, “We tried as much as we could to be respectful. We just thought this may be one of those, you know, infatuation moments that we have when we shoot movies because we got to play together a couple, so let’s just go home,” Antonio said. But it didn’t end when they got home, and they left their partners and were married in May 1996. Their model daughter Stella Banderas was born that same year.

He played the role of stepfather for nearly twenty years, until their divorce in 2015, but he has still played an important part in her life, and they have a heartwarming relationship. In 2019 she presented him with the Hollywood Actor Award for his performance in Pain and Glor with a touching speech.
“I come from a family of many a marriage, and I got very lucky,” Johnson said. “I got a bonus dad who I realized that, over time, is actually one of the most influential people in my whole life. When I was six years old, my mother married a man who brought an unbelievably bright light, a whole new world of creativity and culture, and one remarkably magical little sister into our family.”
