She called the pair’s bond a “true [and] deep love,” concluding, “Congratulations to the beloveds!!! ♥️????♥️????♥️”
Both Griffith and Stella shared throwback photos from the couple’s time together – all the way from childhood to their teenage years.
Additionally, they gave glimpses of the filmmaker’s diamond ring.
Stella wore a white dress while showing off her sparkler as she shared sweet snaps from Gruszynski’s proposal, which seemingly took place during a picnic.
Banderas posted similar shots on social media, writing, “My daughter Stella del Carmen is getting married. We cannot be happier and excited.”
He and Griffith, who welcomed Stella four months after their May 1996 nuptials, finalized their divorce in 2015.
Griffith is also the mother of son Alexander, 38, and daughter Dakota, 34, with exes Steven Bauer and Don Johnson, respectively.
Dakota’s relationship made headlines just ahead of her half-sister’s engagement, with speculation swirling on Friday about her and Chris Martin breaking up.
The “Fifty Shades of Grey” star’s rep confirmed to Page Six that Dakota and the 47-year-old Coldplay frontman, who have been together since 2017, are still “happily together.”
