Dakota Johnson's New Family Photograph Is A Ready-Made Christmas Card
There are few things that Dakota Johnson can't do. She has proven her ability to model any and all styles of denim impeccably; she has proven her capacity to choose wonderful books as her book club's monthly reading choice and she has proven her natural skill at being an achingly insouciant all-round cool girl.
Another string that can also now be added to Dakota's seemingly never-ending bow is that she can even manage to make a festive family photograph sing with levels of cool unknown to hordes of the rest of the population.

Her father, Don Johnson, posted a photograph to his Instagram account on December 15 with the caption, 'My Kids are my Everything!!! Happy Birthday to me!!!' In the picture, Dakota and her siblings, can be seen sitting on a flight of stairs surrounding their famous father, who became a dad for the second time in 1989 when he welcomed his first daughter with Melanie Griffith, Dakota's mother. Don and Griffith had been married and divorced over a decade earlier, but reconciled in 1989. Just months after the couple remarried, the actor gave birth to Dakota Mayi. Don had his first child, a son named Jesse Wayne, with his first wife, Patti D'Arbanville, in 1982.
After Don tied the knot once again to his third wife, Kelley Phleger, in 1999, they welcomed three more children — Atherton Grace, Jasper Breckenridge and Deacon James. Johnson admitted that he was more relaxed with his younger children, but was just as excited about adding to the family.
Dakota is also close with her mother's former husband, Antonio Banderas, who she affectionately called 'Paponio' as a child. The Puss in Boots star is stepfather to Dakota from his marriage to Griffith, whom he married in 1996 and separated from in 2015. Griffith and Banderas share one daughter together, Stella, as well as Griffith's son Alexander Bauer, whom she shares with her second husband, Steven Bauer.
