Alexander Bauer Is His Parents’ Only Child

The low-key actor Alexander Bauer was born under the birth sign Leo on 22nd August 1985. As mentioned above, he is the only child from Steven and Melanie Griffith’s marriage. Likewise, his godmother is Warren Beatty.

Bauer Has Three Half Siblings

Though the film performer is his parent’s only child, he grew up alongside his three half-siblings, Stella Banderas b. in Marbella, Spain, Dylan Bauer, and none other than actress Dakota Johnson.

Alexander Bauer’s Half-Sister Stella Dropped Her Mother’s Surname

Born on 24th September 1996, Stella Del Carmen Banderas Griffith is 26 years old in 2022. As per Banderas’ IG, she is the founder of Lightbound Studio. Likewise, she has also created her own perfume as well.

Unlike her brothers, Stella has made a name for herself in the industry. And it is of no surprise that her success can be credited to her parent’s name. However, things took a new turn when Stella Del Carmen announced to drop her mother’s surname ‘Griffith’.

Back in 2021, the then 25-year-old even filed a name change petition asking a judge to remove Griffith in a Los Angeles court. And absurdly, she reasoned her name change writing “to shorten my name by removing the extra last name”.

She further added,

“As well, I typically do not use “Griffith” when referring to myself or on documents so, dropping the name would match my regular use.”

Although the petition raised a few eyebrows regarding the mother-daughter relationship, it appears that there’s no such issue and Carmen simply wants to shorten her name.
