Melanie Griffith put an end to the memory of her ex-husband.
Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas met in 1995, during the filming of the movie Two Much in which they both starred. According to what they say, the crush between them occurred instantly, so soon after they began a love story.
A year later, they got married and decided to enlarge the family. The actress was already the mother of Alexander Bauer, the result of his relationship with Steven Bauer and Dakota Johnson, whom she had with Don Johnson. But then Stella Bandera arrived, to finish consolidating her marriage with the actor.
Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas created a beautiful stepfamily, to the point that both Steven and Dakota adored the Europeans just as he adored them. A fact that was demonstrated when in 2019 the 50 Shades of Gray actress gave him an award for Best Actor for his work in Pain and Glory and said: "I got a father as a gift. In fact, over time I have realized that he has been one of the most influential people in my entire life".
The truth is that the marriage between the blonde and the actor from El Zorro ended in 2014, and that separation was a very hard blow for the entire film industry since they made up one of the most beloved couples. According to what they said, after 18 years of relationship, the love between them "had stopped".
But now, eight years after signing the divorce, Melanie Griffith let Antonio Banderas go forever by making a forceful decision. The actress had the name of her ex-husband tattooed on her right arm and she decided to redecorate her skin, erasing all traces of that love.
She changed the name Antonio to her three sons and Jesse Johnson, the son of her first husband by her former wife, whom she adores. To achieve this, she did a laser treatment that took a while to remove her first tattoo, which was covered with makeup or band-aids. Once the process was finished, she decided to tattoo her skin again with this new and emotional design.
