When Your Kid Is a Mini-Me of Your Celebrity Self
Antonio Banderas and Stella Banderas
Stella Banderas was born in 1996 under the Spanish sun in Marbella, the only child of Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith. With her mother’s elegance and her father’s soulful intensity, she made her film debut at just three in “Crazy in Alabama,” a family project directed by her father. But instead of chasing fame, she leaned into creativity on her terms.
She studied narrative studies at USC and, in 2021, launched Lightbound, a minimalist fragrance brand focused on sustainability and personal expression. In 2024, she got engaged to entrepreneur Alex Gruszynski, a longtime family friend. A modern muse with a poetic edge, Stella lives softly but boldly.
