The eldest daughter Antonio Banderas was born into a family of stars and she, without a doubt, is also very talented. Her love story hasn't been a product of fiction; it has been a romantic reality, worthy of the best Hollywood scripts. Now, the young woman is going to get married and the latest news about her parents, Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, has delighted everyone.

Just under a year ago, Stella surprised everyone with very special news: she announced her engagement to financier Alex Gruszynski. "I get to hang out with my favorite person on the face of the Earth forever!" she wrote on her social media at the time. Along with those words, she showed an impressive engagement ring.
