Oscar-nominated Hollywood actress Melanie Griffith has a blended family. She was first married to Miami Vice star Don Johnson, but it was through her next marriage to Steven Bauer that she gave birth to her first child, Alexander Bauer. When she remarried Johnson after parting ways with Bauer, the couple welcomed Dakota Johnson. At the same time, she was also a stepmum to his son with ex-girlfriend Patti D’Arbanville, Jesse Johnson. The pair divorced for a second time and she tied the knot with Spanish actor Antonio Banderas, bringing Stella Banderas into the world.
Although all three of her marriages ended in divorce, the Working Girl star has maintained an amicable relationship with her former partners. “All three of them are my friends. I love them with all my heart,” she told People in 2020. Meanwhile, her children are also established in life.
Dakota Johnson is an A-lister in her own right, best known for the Fifty Shades of Grey series of films. Jesse is pursuing an acting and music career, per People, and Stella runs the health and beauty brand, Lightbound. But what has Alexander Griffith Bauer been up to?
What was his childhood like?
Despite being the child of two famous parents and the grandson of Hollywood legend Tippi Hedren, Alexander Griffith Bauer grew up away from the limelight. After his parents divorced in 1989, he was raised by his mum in Los Angeles, according to People.
Is he close with the rest of the family?
In his younger days, Alexander Griffith Bauer made several public appearances with his iconic mother as well as his celebrity stepfathers, Don Johnson and Antonio Banderas. Safe to say, he was close with them both in addition to his step-siblings, Dakota and Stella, with whom he lived, per People.
