The Splitsville actress has known the music star for many years, with the pair first meeting three decades ago when her stepfather Antonio Banderas worked with Madonna on the 1996 musical movie Evita. Since then, Dakota has remained close to the singer. "I really love her," Dakota told E! News on Tuesday. "We've been, like, weird friends for a while. I met her when I was really young, because she did a movie with my stepfather.". Dakota went on to reveal that their bond became deeper after they were lined up to work on a project together.
