As a seasoned observer of Hollywood romance, I must say, these recent engagements among our beloved stars have warmed my heart! The sight of Chris “Cake Boss” Laurita getting down on one knee surrounded by the enchanting beauty of Bali, just brings back memories of my own humble proposal in a quaint little flower shop in Jersey City.


Stella Banderas has the sweetest love story—now and then. 

The sole child born to Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, who split up in 2014 following 18 years of matrimony, has now become officially engaged to his longtime sweetheart, Alex Gruszynski, whom he knew from childhood.

On Instagram, posted by Stella, age 27, on August 19, along with multiple pictures of her long-term companion: “I’m blessed to spend eternity with my most cherished individual on this planet!!!”

In her post’s thumbnail, Stella displays her diamond ring adorned with gold bands, with her fiancé smiling in the background, seated on a picnic blanket. As you scroll through the carousel of pictures, it becomes evident that their relationship has spanned many years, as photographs document their friendship from middle school and toddlerhood—right up to stealing kisses on the New York subway as grown-ups.

Naturally, Stella’s mom couldn’t contain her excitement either. 

As a devoted admirer, I express my profound affection for you both, beyond words can convey. In response to your recent milestone, I extend my heartfelt congratulations once more!

Later, Melanie (mother of Jesse Johnson, Dakota Johnson, and Alexander Bauer from previous relationships with Don Johnson and Steven Bauer respectively) expressed her thoughts on the romantic life of her youngest child.

67-year-old shared on Instagram: “He proposed—on bended knee—and she happily agreed.” This means that Stella and Alex are now engaged, a union that started in preschool. Their love is profound and heartwarming! Wishing them a lifetime of happiness together!!!

ndeed, Stella’s romance with Alex, who is the CEO of freelance marketing platform Nova, has proven to already last a lifetime, and they have plenty of stars already gushing at their upcoming nuptials. 

As Kris Jenner wrote under Stella’s post, “Congratulations!!!”

And Thor actress Jaimie Alexander later shared her celebratory message on Melanie’s post. 

As she put it, “This is so wonderful.”

However, Stella’s romantic journey wouldn’t have its delightful charm if it weren’t for the self-love teachings that Melanie imparted to the self-declared movie creator.

In an interview with Vogue in 2021, the 27-year-old shared that their mother has consistently stressed the significance of cultivating a strong, nurturing bond with oneself. She’s imparted the value of establishing a secure environment for personal growth, which helps maintain equilibrium and foster feelings of being rooted.
