Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith’s daughter is filing to legally change her name.
Stella Del Carmen Banderas Griffith, 25, is dropping “Griffith” from her name
She would now go by Stella Del Carmen Banderas.
“I just want to shorten my name by removing the extra last name. As well, I typically do not use ‘Griffith’ when referring to myself or on documents. So, dropping the name would match my regular use,” the docs state as to her reasoning why.
Stella was born to her famous parents on Sept. 24, 1996 in Marbella, Spain. She is also the half sister of Dakota Johnson and Alexander Bauer from Melanie’s marriages to Don Johnson and Steven Bauer, respectively.
