Stella Banderas wants to stop being Griffith
Stella del Carmen Banderas Griffith has been famous since she was born, thanks to her more than famous parents: she is the daughter of Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, and although her parents divorced in 2014, she has remained very close to both and says she feels very proud of her roots.
However, that has not prevented her from beginning the procedures to legally dispense with her mother's surname, becoming simply Stella del Carmen Banderas in official documents. A decision that is more important if it is observed from the perspective of his father's country, Spain, where citizens bear the paternal and maternal surnames, but not so much from that of his country of birth, the United States, where normally only the first of them, since women usually take their husband's surname when they get married
Despite everything, Dakota Johnson's 25-year-old sister, an actress and model by profession, wants to keep going because her intentions are to make her name easier. “I just want to shorten my name by taking away her extra last name. Also, I don't normally use the Griffith when referring to myself in documents." Thus, he adds: "Removing the name would conform to its daily use"

All to make it clear that there is no problem between Stella and her mother, but that it is a practical matter. The next step in this process as required by law is for the young woman to publish her legal petition in a major general or law journal. The judge will then decide whether or not to approve the lawsuit.
So it seems that her decision has nothing to do with a change in her relationship with her mother. Although her Instagram user continues to include the two surnames of her parents, the truth is that she has been calling herself simply Stella Banderas for some time.
Precisely, this past summer she presented her collection of perfumes inspired by Los Angeles and Malaga, her two cities, on this social network: “I have put all my love and energy into Lightbound and I am very excited to be able to present the first product: a Genderless, handmade and sustainably packaged perfume-in-oil that reminds me of and is inspired by growing up between Malaga and Los Angeles.”
