Presenting stepfather Antonio with an award recently, Dakota Johnson revealed that despite the 65-year-old's 2015 divorce from her mom, Melanie Griffith, 68, she still considers him part of the family.

“I come from a family of many a marriage, and I got lucky,” the 36-year-old said (mom Melanie has had three husbands; dad Don Johnson, 75, has had four). “I got a bonus dad, who I realized that, over time, is actually one of the most influential people in my whole life.”
