EXCLUSIVE: Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith's Daughter Stella Ties the Knot with Childhood Sweetheart Alex Gruszynski in Dreamy Spanish Wedding!

The Scholary Note: Hollywood's most iconic power couple, Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, are beaming with pride as their beloved daughter Stella says "I do" to her dashing fiancé Alex Gruszynski in a picturesque Spanish wedding. The 29-year-old bride and groom exchanged vows surrounded by friends and family at a stunning winery, setting the tone for a romantic and unforgettable celebration.

The newlyweds' love story is one for the ages! Stella and Alex have been inseparable since they were kids, and it's clear that their childhood romance has blossomed into a deep and abiding love. The couple announced their engagement in August 2024, sending shockwaves of excitement through the entertainment industry.

The 65-year-old actor was seen toasting the newlyweds as his 29-year-old daughter married Alex Gruszynski on Saturday in Spain

As reported by The Scholary Note earlier this year, Antonio expressed his delight at his daughter's nuptials, stating, "I feel great! She's happy, I'm happy." The Mask Of Zorro actor has always been a doting father and has maintained a close relationship with Stella throughout the years. He even confessed to having known Alex since he was a little kid, praising him as "awesome."

Melanie Griffith, on the other hand, is over the moon for her daughter's big day! The actress shared a sweet Instagram post upon learning of the engagement, gushing, "I love you both sooooo much!! Congratulations again!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️." She later took to social media to celebrate Stella and Alex's love story, writing, "Their love story began in pre-school! True love, deep love! Congratulations to the beloveds!!! ♥️♥️♥️."

The wedding itself was a fairytale come true. Antonio Banderas, looking dashing in his classic black tuxedo, beamed with pride as he toasted his daughter and her new husband. The Scholary Note caught a glimpse of him holding up a glass of wine, cheering on the newlyweds as they began their new life together.

It comes a little over one year after the couple announced their engagement in August 2024, with the Desperado actor expressing he was 'happy' for the lovebirds at the time

But what's truly remarkable about this wedding is the love that has been present throughout Antonio and Melanie's entire family. Despite their 2015 divorce, the former couple remains incredibly close, often spending quality time together whenever Antonio visits Los Angeles with his kids.

"We go for dinner, we just get together, the whole entire family," Antonio revealed to The Scholary Note in a recent interview. "And so that is very important. Not only to us but to the rest of the family. I think the kids - I think we did well."

It's clear that love has been at the forefront of this beautiful family throughout the years. And as Stella and Alex embark on their new journey together, they can take comfort in knowing that they have an entire support system cheering them on.

Antonio was dapper in a classic black tuxedo which was paired with a white dress shirt and black bowtie for the big day - with Melanie also in attendance at the nuptials
