In a recent Instagram post, Johnson shared a photo of him posing next to his former mother-in-law, actress Tippi Hedren. Johnson wore a red baseball cap, a collared pink shirt and yellow jacket, while Hedren wore a patterned blue top, which she accessorized with rings on every finger and a statement necklace.
"Beautiful….my co-star, Tippy Hedren," Johnson captioned the photo of him smiling alongside Hedren, as she clings to his arm.

Griffith and Johnson first tied the knot in 1976, but were divorced just six months later. They went on to remarry in June 1989 in a small ceremony at their ranch in Aspen, Colorado. Their second go around also ended in divorce, with the two deciding to go their separate ways in March 1994.

Back before the two actors crossed paths as in-laws, they starred opposite each other in the 1973 movie, "The Harrad Experiement," three years before Johnson's first marriage to Griffith. The film follows Professor Phillip Tenhausen and his wife Margaret, played by Hedren, who begin to incorporate sexual relations into the curriculum, and features a young Johnson as one of the students.

Following their second breakup, Griffith entered a relationship with actor Antonio Banderas in 1995. They were married a year later, in May 1996, and were together for nearly two decades before getting a divorce in 2014. Over the course of their marriage, the two welcomed a daughter named Stella.

Griffith has managed to maintain positive relationships with all three of her ex-husbands – Johnson, Banderas and Steven Bauer, who she was married to from 1981 to 1989, and shares son Alexander with. She previously told People in 2020, "All three of them are my friends. I love them with all my heart."

In November 2019, Dakota presented Banderas with an award at the Hollywood Film Awards, in which she expressed her love for the actor, calling him "one of the most influential people in my whole life" who brought with him "an unbelievably bright light and a whole new world of creativity and culture" when he married her mom when she was 6 years old.
