Dakota Johnson is an actress, producer, and director. The Hollywood star started acting since she was a child making her debut at age ten. She has been in over 30 movies.

She is notable for her role as Anastasia Steele in “Fifty Shades of Grey.” The celebrity reprised the role in “Fifty Shades Darker” and “Fifty Shades Freed.”

As for her father, he is actor, director, and producer Don Johnson with over 100 acting credits under his belt. He is known for his roles as Rick in “Kenan,” and Richard Drysdale in “Knives Out,” starring opposite Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, and more. He also acted as Frank in “The Other Woman.”

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,” he divulged.

She said, “I grew up in a family that was so big, and I just believe in the saying ‘Blood is thicker than water.'” But, she talked about the saying’s origins. She noted that the connections one chooses are more solid than the connections people are born to.

At 34, Dakota is now in a blended family as an adult. The public figure explained that because she grew up with the blended family dynamics, it felt natural. She emphasized that she wouldn’t want it any other way. She loves it and finds it very honest and authentic, with no one hiding anything.

The couple’s romance has captivated public attention. Not only for their deep connection but also due to the swirling rumors of an engagement, marked by the repeated sighting of a distinctive emerald ring on Dakota’s finger.

In November 2023, jewelry designer Jessica McCormack posted a picture of Dakota wearing the same engagement ring. It looks like one of the brand’s signature emerald-cut rings. In the caption, the designer wrote, “fav color after diamonds 💚 #mondaymuse.”

A source said four months later, “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.”

In early March 2024, Dakota spoke about their relationship. She called him her favorite being. When asked if she felt a particular way when watching him on stage, the actress said, “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.”

She spoke about her love for Dakota, reportedly stating, “We’re actually very good friends.” She had also declared her love for her fellow actress and said, “I love her so much. She’s an adorable, wonderful person.”

In November 2023, Gwyneth invited her fans to ask her a question on her Instagram stories. A fan asked her to share a photo of herself with Dakota. The businesswoman responded with a picture of her and Dakota holding hands. The pair stood in the middle of the road wearing jackets, jeans, and sneakers.

She once referred to Moses as her stepson while narrating a story his friend had told her about school. While she talked about the kids, Dakota said, “I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.” The public figure has been seen several times spending time with her stepchildren.

With being a woman, Dakota sees the experience as a crazy, wild, and magical one. However, she noted that she is down for it if it’s meant to happen for her.
