Fans couldn’t help but be moved by Melanie’s sweet tribute. Comments poured in from all over the world, with many expressing admiration for the Griffith family’s strong bond. One fan wrote, “He’s beautiful! Happy Birthday Alexander!” Another commenter chimed in, “I admire your family’s strong bonds with one another. I especially love that all of the parents welcome each other’s children and stepchildren. You guys are the model of how it should be!” It’s clear that Melanie’s openness and warmth have resonated with her fans in a big way.
For those who might not know, Melanie shares Alexander with her ex-husband Steven Bauer. The two tied the knot after Melanie’s first marriage to actor Don Johnson ended. Interestingly, Don Johnson is also the father of Jesse, Melanie’s stepson, whom she raised as her own. Jesse, born to Don and actress Patti D’Arbanville in 1982, has become an integral part of Melanie’s life, proving that family isn’t always defined by blood but by the love and care shared between people.
Beyond Alexander, Melanie has also welcomed two other incredible children into her life: Dakota Johnson and Stella Banderas. Stella, her daughter with actor Antonio Banderas, continues to carry on the family’s artistic legacy. Despite navigating the complexities of co-parenting, Melanie remains steadfast in her love and admiration for the men who’ve played significant roles in her life.
Speaking with InStyle, Melanie once said, “All of my husbands, my three husbands—I love them all so much, and we’re all very close.” Her words reflect the deep respect and affection she holds for her past relationships, demonstrating that love doesn’t fade just because a marriage ends. Instead, it evolves, creating a unique and enduring bond.

When asked about the possibility of walking down the aisle again, Melanie offered some insightful thoughts. “I really don’t think it’s relevant for anyone anymore,” she explained. “But especially if you’re 60 and you have four kids and you’re living the life you’ve always wanted. Then why get married?” She went on to say, “It’s, like, I would love to fall in love and have a romance, a relationship, but I haven’t. I keep looking. I’ve had a couple of lovers but not a relationship.” Her honesty and authenticity are truly inspiring, reminding us that life is about more than just societal expectations.
