*Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith’s daughter, Stella Banderas, tied the knot with her longtime partner, Alex Gruszynski, on Saturday, Oct. 18, in Spain. The intimate celebration drew several high-profile guests, including Malia and Sasha Obama, She Knows reports.
The former first daughters managed to keep a low profile during the wedding, which took place near Valladolid, according to Hola!. The outlet described them as the “most surprising of all” attendees. In a post on X, Antonio Banderas wrote, “The wedding of my daughter Stella has turned into a heartfelt family reunion, emotional, joyful, and full of laughter. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.”
Meanwhile, Malia, who now works in the entertainment industry under the name “Malia Ann,” has been establishing her own creative path separate from her parents, Barack and Michelle Obama. The 27-year-old has worked as a production assistant on “Extant,” contributed as a writer on Prime Video’s “Swarm,” and debuted her short film “The Heart” at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.

Michelle Obama discussed her daughters’ desire for independence during a June 2 episode of the “Sibling Revelry” podcast hosted by Kate and Oliver Hudson. “Malia, who started in film—I mean, her first project—she took off her last name. And we’re like, ‘They’re still gonna know it’s you, sweetie.’ But we get it,” Michelle said, adding that both daughters are focused on building their “own life” outside of politics.
Those close to Malia say she enjoys the Hollywood lifestyle but is still finding her footing as a filmmaker. A source told RadarOnline that while Malia “loves living and working in Hollywood, but it’s the lifestyle she’s become enamored with, not the grind and the inevitable rejection that comes with a serious writing career.”
