Antonio Banderas Embraces 'Most Beautiful Moment' as Father of the Bride
EXCLUSIVE: Antonio Banderas Gushes Over Daughter Stella's Wedding in Spain - And We Have All the Juicy Details!
The Scholary Note has just obtained the scoop of the year, and it's all about Antonio Banderas' adorable daughter, Stella, tying the knot with her longtime beau, Alex Gruszynski. The 65-year-old actor was over the moon to see his little girl walk down the aisle in Spain, surrounded by A-list guests and an atmosphere that would make even the most discerning couple swoon.
According to sources close to the family, Stella, 29, chose her birth country as the perfect setting for her special day, and we can't blame her one bit. The Retuerta Le Domaine Abbey in Valladolid, Spain, is an enchanting old monastery that exudes romance and elegance. And with a wine estate sprawling across its grounds, it's the ultimate fairytale backdrop for any wedding.
As for Antonio, he was beaming with pride as he watched his little girl get married to her sweetheart. In an interview with Hola! magazine, he gushed: "Seeing my daughter dressed as a bride will be one of the most beautiful moments of my life. I get to be the father of the bride, and it's a role I take on with all the emotion in the world."
We can only imagine how emotional this must have been for Antonio, who has always been devoted to his family. The actor and Melanie Griffith were married for 18 years before their separation in 2014, but they've managed to maintain an amicable relationship for the sake of their children.
Stella's big day was a closely guarded secret, with only a select few privy to the details. But according to insiders, around 200-250 guests attended the wedding, including Michelle and Barack Obama's daughters, as well as Stella's half-sister Dakota Johnson and her movie star grandmother Tippi Hedren.
The festivities were said to have included an outdoor cocktail reception, a gala lunch, and a party with an open bar and live performances. Talk about a bash to remember!
As for the happy couple themselves, they looked absolutely radiant on their big day. Stella stunned in a stunning off-the-shoulder white wedding dress with dramatic, long sleeves that draped to the floor. Her beau Alex Gruszynski was dashing in his classic black tuxedo, paired with a white dress shirt and black bowtie.
We can't help but feel a little jealous of this adorable couple's love story. According to Stella's social media posts, she and Alex have known each other since they were kids! How sweet is that?
As for Antonio's thoughts on his daughter getting married, he told People last year: "I feel great! She's happy, I'm happy." And we're sure the whole family was overjoyed to see Stella start this new chapter of her life.
It's clear that Antonio has always been supportive of his children, and his bond with Dakota is especially heartwarming. In an interview earlier this year, he revealed: "I would love to" work on a film with his bonus daughter someday. How wonderful!
As for Melanie, she was also in attendance at Stella's wedding, surrounded by her beloved family. We're so glad to see these two exes putting their differences aside for the sake of their children.
In conclusion, this wedding was truly the stuff of fairytales. With its breathtaking setting, A-list guests, and adorable couple at its center, it's a day that will be remembered for years to come. Congratulations once again to Stella and Alex on their special day!
