It's no surprise that Melanie's post struck a chord with her followers. Fans couldn’t help but shower the mother-daughter duo with compliments. One commenter wrote, "Wow! So pretty.

These reactions highlight the admiration people have for Melanie’s family and her ability to nurture such incredible children.
A Family Legacy of Love
Melanie and her ex-husband Antonio Banderas welcomed Stella in 1999, creating a bond that has stood the test of time. Although the couple separated in 2015 after nearly two decades of marriage, their love for Stella remains unwavering. Melanie isn’t just a mother to Stella; she’s also the proud mom of Dakota Johnson, 30, from her marriage to Don Johnson, and Alex, 34, from her relationship with Steven Bauer.

Moments of Gratitude and Reflection
This isn't the first time Melanie has publicly expressed her admiration for Stella. Back in September, she celebrated National Daughters Day by honoring both Stella and Dakota. In a heartfelt post, Melanie wrote, "On National Daughters Day I honor my two beauties Dakota and Stella!! I love my girls so so so much." Melanie's pride in her children is evident, and she’s always been supportive of their individual journeys.
A close friend of Melanie’s revealed, "She is truly proud of her kids, but she lets them live their own lives, make their own mistakes." This approach to parenting shows Melanie’s wisdom and understanding. She doesn’t hover over her children but instead encourages them to find their own paths. "She tries to be demonstrative with her love always," her friend added, highlighting Melanie's nurturing nature.
A Life Well-Lived
Now that her children are all grown up, Melanie has more time for herself. But don’t expect her to rush into another marriage. In a candid interview with InStyle, she shared, "I really don’t think it's relevant for anyone anymore, but especially if you’re 60 and you have kids and you’re living the life you’ve always wanted. Then why get married?" Melanie admits that while she’d love to find love again, she’s content with her current life. "I keep looking. I’ve had a couple of lovers but not a relationship," she said, proving that sometimes, being single is just as fulfilling.
