“Since the day you were born, you have brought so much love, compassion, and joy to our family and into the world,” Griffith said in the post. “I adore you with all my heart.” I feel privileged to be your mother. Stella Banderas Griffith.”

Stella hugged her mother in front of an armchair and pink balloons in the final shot.

“Happy birthday, Stella,” actress Jaimie Alexander wrote, while Kate Hudson added three-star emojis: “.”

Griffith has a daughter named Stella with her ex-husband, Antonio Banderas, whom she married from 1996 to 2015.

In a joint statement released in 2014, the couple stated, “We have thoughtfully and consensually decided to finalize our almost twenty-year marriage in a loving and friendly manner, honoring and respecting each other, our family and friends, and the beautiful time we have spent together.”

Griffith also has a daughter, Dakota Johnson, with her ex-husband Don Johnson, and a son, Alexander Bauer, 38, with her ex-husband Steven Bauer.

Griffith was photographed in July with a new tattoo in lieu of her previous heart-shaped tattoo with Antonio’s name. The actress’ latest tattoo featured a crossword puzzle with the names of her children, including her stepson, Jesse Johnson.
