Mumbai, April 28

Hollywood star Antonio Banderas shared a peak into his personal life as he shared a "fun moment" with his son-in-law Alex, my daughter Stella, and his former wife Melanie, whom he tagged as his "lifelong friend".

Banderas shared a happy picture featuring him along with his family members and said that he had a lovely time in Los Angeles with them.

"A lovely and fun moment yesterday in Los Angeles with my son-in-law Alex, my daughter Stella, and my ex-wife and lifelong friend, Melanie," the "Labyrinth of Passion" star wrote in the caption.

The 65-year-old actor started a relationship with American actress Melanie Griffith in 1995 while shooting Two Much. They married in 1996, in London. The two have a daughter, Stella del Carmen Banderas, who appeared onscreen with Melanie in Banderas' directorial debut Crazy in Alabama in 1999.

In other news, Banderas in March spoke about how his life changed after he suffered a heart attack. He shared that it changed the way he looked at life.

The 65-year-old actor reassessed his life after suffering a medical emergency in 2017 and after walking away from his Hollywood lifestyle to return to his birthplace of Malaga, Spain, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Banderas, who lives with partner Nicole Kimpel, told The Times newspaper of his belief his heart attack was the best thing to have happened to him: "Seriously. Mine was a really serious warning. It changed the way I look at life.

"Faced with death, it made me look back and realise that I am, in fact, a theatre actor. I have never been so happy."

He continued: "A few months before (my father) died we were watching the procession of the Holy Sepulchre pass by on the night of Good Friday and suddenly, without looking at me, he said, 'I think there's nothing. I think there's nothing after death.' My father, who was very Catholic, said that. I will come back as a ghost. To haunt my theatre."

Antonio Banderas is the definition of class. The way he speaks about his heart attack being a blessing in disguise - that's true inner peace. And maintaining such a warm relationship with Melanie after divorce? Rare. Respect. ๐Ÿ‘

His perspective on life after the heart attack is so profound. I wish more people realized that health is wealth. Also the way he talks about returning to his roots in Malaga - that's something we Indians understand deeply. 'Mitti ki khushboo' matters. ๐ŸŒฟ

Nice to see a celebrity family that's actually functional after divorce. Most of them just fight in court or on social media. This is refreshing.

It's heartwarming but also kind of sad that he had to face death to find happiness. Shows how we all get trapped in the rat race. His father's words about nothing after death are haunting too - even a 'very Catholic' person had doubts. Deep stuff. ๐Ÿ˜”

While this is sweet, I can't help but think - what about his partner Nicole? He mentions her but the whole post is about the ex-wife. Hope there's no tension there. Otherwise, lovely family vibes. ๐ŸŒธ
