Dakota Johnson’s Family Steals the Spotlight at Her Rare Movie Night Out

Dakota Johnson can always count on her web of supporters: her family.

As a devoted admirer, I found myself beaming from ear to ear as I graced the May 7 screening of my forthcoming film, “Materialists,” alongside my beloved brother Jesse Johnson and my cherished mother Melanie Griffith, right here in the heart of Los Angeles.

At the London Hotel, although the trio didn’t take a joint photo, Melanie (who co-parents Dakota with her former husband Don Johnson) and Jesse made an effort to express affection towards Dakota during the event. The siblings coordinated their outfits, with Dakota wearing a white tank dress and Jesse, aged 42 (son of Don and his ex-wife Patti D’Arbanville), opting for a relaxed look in a white long-sleeve top and black jeans.

In the meantime, Melanie – mother to Alexander Bauer, aged 39, from her second marriage with Steven Bauer, as well as Stella Banderas, 28, from her relationship with Antonio Banderas – spiced up her appearance. She donned a brown mesh turtleneck, a beige trench coat, and jeans for the occasion.

Beyond the Materialists screening, Jesse shared a picture of the romantic comedy movie’s poster on his Instagram Stories. The poster depicted Dakota alongside her co-stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. He captioned it, “This is great.

Her brother’s compliments further heighten the excitement for the upcoming movie since it has been almost two years since she was last seen in a romantic comedy, which was the 2022 release of “Persuasion“.

After more than a year since Dakota disclosed details about their combined family, the group rarely gathers together again. In fact, just recently, the TeaTime creator emphasized that they will continually support one another.

Regardless of any difficulties, personal issues, feuds, or separations, we remain a united family,” I expressed during an interview with Bustle. “Our bond is genuine and lasting.

She, too, labeled many of her brothers and sisters as “artistic individuals,” and she found a strong connection with their passion for creativity.

In my maturity and my fresh family setup, it turns out that many of us are artists,” she explained further. “Our children, too, display an extraordinary level of talent. As a result, you find yourself navigating intricate personalities. You evolve, accept, and sometimes express strong emotions like anger, before eventually saying, ‘I’m fed up with you, leave,’ followed by ‘I miss you, please return.’

Approximately one year has passed since the group’s infrequent gathering, and it was following this time that Dakota disclosed details about their united family. Back in March, the creator of TeaTime mentioned that they and their siblings would continue to support one another unconditionally.

Regardless of any complications, disagreements, or personal issues, such as rehab, feuds, or divorces, she emphasized to Bustle that we remain a united family. She reiterated that our bond remains strong and unbreakable – it’s truly genuine.

Dakota, too, characterized the majority of her brothers and sisters as “artistic individuals,” and she empathizes with their passion as creative people.

She went on to say, “In my grown-up years and my recent family, many of us are artists. Remarkably gifted children as well. It’s all about dealing with intricate individuals. You learn, adapt, and sometimes you say harsh things like ‘Go away!’ but then you also express love and invite them back.
