Don Johnson remains close with his former mother-in-law Tippi Hedren!

On Wednesday, Aug. 28, Johnson, 74, shared an adorable photo on Instagram showing him beaming next to Tippi, 94, who is the mother of his ex-wife Melanie Griffith.

The Miami Vice actor wore a bright yellow jacket in the snap, which he teamed with a salmon pink shirt and a red cap.

Meanwhile, Tippi wore a patterned blue top as she held on to her former son-in-law's arm, finishing off her glam look with a classic red lip.

"Beautiful… my co-star, Tippi Hedren," Johnson, who previously starred in the 1973 movie The Harrad Experiment with Tippi, captioned the shot.

Tippi shares her daughter Melanie, 67, with her ex-husband Peter Griffith, and is grandmother to the Working Girl star's four children: Sons Jesse Johnson and Alexander Bauer and daughters Dakota Johnson and Stella Banderas.

The actress shares Dakota and stepson Jesse with Don, while she welcomed Alexander with ex-husband Steven Bauer, and Stella with former husband Antonio Banderas.

Don and Melanie married twice, in 1976 and 1989, before divorcing for the second time in 1996.
