Is Melanie Griffith an embarrassing parent?
The Working Girl star was spotted leaving a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles with her daughter Dakota when she was asked what’s the secret to a perfect marriage?
“Sex. Great Sex,” replied Griffith as she hopped into her convertible black Bentley with her daughter, who appeared red-faced.
Griffith, who has been married to Spanish actor Antonio Banderas for 13 years, continued to pour her heart out, saying “It’s the love, baby. The love,” before driving off.
The 51-year-old actress wears her love for Banderas in the shape of a heart tattoo on her arm with ‘Antonio’ scrawled in it.
The license plate of her Bentley also reads MG hearts AB.
Griffith and Banderas first met in 1995 while filming the romantic comedy ‘Two Much’.
They married a year later, and unlike many Hollywood marriages theirs has lasted the test of time.
Griffith has three children, son Alexander, from a previous marriage to actor Steven Bauer, Dakota, from her marriage to Don Johnson and Stella, her only child with Banderas.
Griffith’s oldest daughter Dakota, 19, followed in her mother’s footsteps and served as Miss Golden Globe at the 2006 Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Griffith herself was Miss Golden Globe in 1975, a title given as a launching pad to celebrity offspring breaking into show business.
Dakota is also signed to a model agency, IMG Model and is the face of MANGO brand’s jeans line.
