Stella Banderas is an actress and model.
Her parents are actress Melanie Griffith & Antonio Banderas.
Most recently, Stella shared a rare home video of her mom for Mother’s Day on May 14, 2023.
Stella Banderas has always been a fairly private person, but she got plenty of attention when she shared a photo modeling a crop top to her Instagram account on Mar. 1. She simply told followers to shop at fashion brand LINE OF ONE to grab one like it. But her stunning good looks, trim model figure and flat abs caused the snapshot to go viral. There’s a good reason she’s gorgeous, as it’s in the genes. Stella’s dad is actor Antonio Banderas, 62, and her mom is actress Melanie Griffith, 65. Stella, 26, is the only child from the former Hollywood power couple’s nearly 10 year marriage. We’ve got five fun facts to know about her.

Stella Was Born In Spain
Her parents were living in her father’s native Spain at the time of her September 24, 1996 birth. She was born in the stunning resort town Marbella, along the Mediterranean coast. Her full name is Stella del Carmen Banderas Griffith. While her parents are incredibly famous, they raised Stella out of the public eye. She’s a dual-citizen of Spain and the U.S. thanks to her parents’ lineage, and is bilingual in both Spanish and English.
