The famous heartthrob Don Johnson made a name for himself acting in the 1980s police drama "Miami Vice." These days, the actor spends his time with his family whenever he isn't working on a new TV show or film. However, the 73-year-old admitted that he changed his life after meeting his current wife.

Before meeting his wife, Don's life was centered around many material things. The actor owned several cars, a number of boats, and a ranch, among other things. Despite his many possessions, Don was miserable. He had been married to the actress Melanie Griffith twice, but the union ended badly each time.

After looking for happiness in all the wrong places, Don was out of ideas. That was until he attended a party celebrating the birthday of the mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown. Attending the same party was the teacher and socialite, Kelley Phleger, and when Don spotted her, he knew he wanted to marry her.

Don commented on the first time he laid eyes on Kelley, revealing that he thought she was breathtaking. Kelley's bearing intrigued Don endlessly, and he knew he had to meet her. So, through the night, he made a plan to introduce himself to her.

Over the next few months, they grew close, and Don eventually proposed to Kelley. The couple tied the knot, and Don was so happy in his new marriage that he sold most of his old belongings and quit all his old "vices." Don opened up about his decision to ask Kelley to become his wife:

"I had a rare moment of clarity and asked this woman to marry me."

The happy couple went on to have three children together. They share one daughter and two sons. Don revealed that seeing Kelley breastfeed their first baby inspired him to get sober. He said, "I walked in and there was this wonderful little scene of Madonna and child at the breakfast table. And that's when it hit me."

How Does Don's Daughter with a Teacher Look & What Does Dad Think About Her?

Don and Kelley are the proud parents of Grace Johnson, Jasper Johnson, and Deacon Johnson. The couple's oldest, Grace, has become something of a celebrity herself. Grace was born in December 1999 and grew up to be a model. She signed with the modeling agency IMG, making her runway debut in 2019.

Besides the three kids he shares with Kelley, Don also has two other children with two other women.

Another fan also commented, "beautiful," while one user applauded her, writing, "Well done." Grace's dad also showed how proud he is of his daughter by posting a video of her walking down Hollywood Boulevard for a Gucci fashion show.

What Relationship Does Don Johnson Have with His Wife and His Other Kids?

Besides the three kids he shares with Kelley, Don also has two other children with two other women. He shares a daughter with his ex-wife, Melanie. The two welcomed their only child together, Dakota Johnson, in 1989. Dakota made her film debut in 1999, playing the on-screen daughter of her real mother's character in the film "Crazy in Alabama."

Dakota became financially independent at a young age. After she finished high school, she refused to go to college, which meant Don declined to support her. Knowing this, she landed a role in "The Social Network," three weeks after her dad quized her on how she would support herself.
