Other photographs in Banderas’ photo carousel showed Johnson touring with him and other performers at the Teatro del Soho CaixaBank in Malaga, Spain. Atrezzo, a restaurant in the city, also published the same picture of the actors out to dinner, captioned “Visitas que nos alegran el,” which translates to “Visits that brighten our.”
The Puss in Boots actor is Johnson’s stepfather via his marriage to Johnson’s mother, Melanie Griffith, whom he married in 1996 and divorced in 2015. Griffith, 66, shares Johnson with her first husband, Don Johnson; she and Banderas also have a daughter, Stella, 27, and Griffith’s son, Alexander Bauer, whom she shares with her second husband, Steven Bauer.
Johnson was previously spotted with both her mother and Banderas in February when the two visited her in New York City for her Saturday Night Live hosting gig and afterparty.
The Madame Web actress has already lauded her stepfather for his influence on her life; in 2019, she stated he “taught me about true passion and discipline” when presenting him with a Hollywood Actor Award at the Hollywood Film Awards.
In 2022, Banderas told E! News that Johnson gave him the moniker “Paponio” as a child. “I am ‘Papi’ and ‘Antonio’ altogether, so she always called me ‘Paponio,’ ” he stated at the time. While speaking about Johnson’s address at the Hollywood Film Awards, the actor described it as “one of the most beautiful speeches that anybody has given me.”
“So I was very thankful to know that she thought that about Papi,” he said at the time.
Though Banderas and Griffith split in 2015, the actor told PEOPLE in 2019 that he still has warm memories of her and their mixed family. “Melanie is not my wife anymore, but I think she is my best friend,” he added at the time. “I adore her and will love her until I die. “She is my family.”
