Her mother, Melanie Griffith, has some major roles with over 80 acting credits. Some of her projects include “Days Out of Days,” “Hawaii Five-0,” “Dirty Diana,” “Twins,” “Stuart Little 2,” and more.

Her birth father, is actor, director, and producer Don Johnson. He has over 100 acting credits, including roles such as Rick in “Kenan” and Richard Drysdale in “Knives Out.”

Her parents divorced when she was young, and subsequently got remarried. Her mother remarried Antonio Banderas with whom she remained with from 1996 to 2015. Despite their divorce, Antonio and his former stepdaughter, Dakota still share a good bond. While being interviewed at the Palm Springs International Film Festival’s Film Awards Gala in 2020, he said of Dakota, “She was 5 when I met her, when she became my family. I almost changed her nappies. She’s my daughter, I love her. I’ve been with her on my shoulders, traveling all around the world,” he divulged.

Dakota’s parents divorced, and both remarried and have other children. Her mother was once married to actor Antonio Banderas from 1996 to 2015. While at the Palm Springs International Film Festival’s Film Awards Gala in 2020, Antonio reminisced over his relationship with his former stepdaughter Dakota.
“She was 5 when I met her, when she became my family. I almost changed her nappies. She’s my daughter, I love her. I’ve been with her on my shoulders, traveling all around the world.”

On her part, Dakota has also said of her bond with her blended family, “I grew up in a family that was so big, and I just believe in the saying ‘Blood is thicker than water.’”

She talked more of her blended family in glowing terms, saying, “I have four brothers and two sisters, and my two sisters are not blood-related to each other, but they are sisters and they call each other sisters and they are always together. And my two older brothers are not blood-related to each other. And they are brothers.”
She talked about the family and how everyone is extremely talented, “Even the kids, they’re extraordinarily talented people. So you just are dealing with complex people. You grow and you embrace.”

Now, at 34 years old, Dakota still enjoys a blended family with her own partner.
She has been with Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, for a long time.

While the two of them keep their relationship incredibly private, some details usually emerge about them. One of the biggest rumors happens to be that the couple are actually engaged. The rumor came into effect when Dakota was sighted wearing a distinctive emerald ring on her ring finger.

A source shared about ther couple, “The couple got engaged a while ago and have kept the news private. But now they are being open about it with their circles. They have been besotted with each other from day one so taking this next step was inevitable.”

Earlier this year Dakota spoke about their relationship publicly for the first time, referring to Martin as her favorite being. The actress talked about what it feels like when she watches her man perform on stage, “I don’t know. I love watching him. I could watch him every day. […] I’m watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing.”

Chris, of course, is a father of two children, whom he shares with actress Gwyneth Paltrow. It has been said that Gwyneth shares an amazing relationship with Dakota Johnson. The couple has even spent Thanksgiving together as a blended family.

On October 5, 2019, Paltrow took to Instagram to wish Dakota a happy birthday. She posted a picture of Dakota and wrote, “Happy 30th birthday to this absolute gem ????.”

She has also stated in an Instagram question answer session about Dakota, “We’re actually very good friends.” She went on to say, “I love her so much. She’s an adorable, wonderful person.”

She routinely speaks highly of Dakota, once saying, “I love her. I can see how it would seem weird because it’s sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her.”

While Dakota and Chris keep their relationship private, Dakota sees herself as a stepmom to his children, Apple and Moses Martin. This was made evident by the fact that she once referred to Moses as her stepson while narrating a story.

She once said, “I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.” She is often spotted spending time with the kids.

In 2019 she went on a family trip with Chris and his children and it seemed that Gwyneth was also present. The family went to Aspen together. And in the picture snapped, Apple looked taller than her stepmother.

Even though she is a stepmom she is open to having her own kids some day, she said, “I’m so open to that. I’ve gotten to this place where I really want to experience everything that life has to offer.

It is nice to see Dakota Johnson create her own little blended family. What do you think of this story? Share it with others so they can know more about the actress.
