Don Johnson will always hold a special place in his heart for his former mother-in-law Tippi Hedren.
The legendary The Birds actress, 94, was the Miami Vice alum's mother-in-law for several years, while he was married to her daughter Melanie Griffith.
The former couple first started living together in 1972 when Melanie, now 67, was 15 and her ex, now 74, was 23, and they married once she turned 18 in 1976, however they divorced the same year. They reunited and married in 1989 when they welcomed daughter Dakota Johnson, however they went their separate ways again in 1996.
Despite their storied past, Don still has love for Tippi, and just delighted fans as he shared a photo of them together.
The Django Unchained actor took to Instagram on Wednesday and shared a sweet snap of him and his "beautiful" former MIL. The photo sees them both smiling ear-to-ear, Tippi wearing a blue, peacock-themed shall, holding on to Don, who is wearing a yellow denim jacket over a pink button-down shirt, paired with a red Flat Creek baseball cap, a nod to the town in Missouri where he is originally from.
"Beautiful… my co-star, Tippi Hedren," he wrote in his caption. Don and Tippi were co-stars on 1973's The Harrad Experiment, which is how he met Melanie.
Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over the sweet reunion, with one writing: "What a beautiful picture of you both! It's so great to see you smiling together!! All the best wishes," as others followed suit with: "Dakota looks just like her grandma!!" and: "My heart just melted," as well as: "This family is amazing, long live to all of you."
