Salma Hayek celebrated 15 years of marriage to Francois-Henri Pinault

On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, Salma Hayek also took advantage of the celebration of lovers to speak her heart. But she had a double event to celebrate. The 57-year-old actress wished her husband, billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, a happy wedding anniversary. “After 18 years together and 15 years of marriage, still loving you is as simple, funny, deep and fresh as a breeze. Happy birthday my love,” she captioned their black-and-white photo. The message, written in English and punctuated in her native Spanish, with a tender “mi amor.”

Romanticism put to the test

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault met in 2006 at the opening of the Palazzo Grassi in Venice. She was 40 at that time and he was 44. Three years later, on Saturday February 14, 2009, the couple married in the town hall of the 6th arrondissement. And if the publications of the actress to celebrate their union are very romantic today, their marriage was a little less.

In February 2023, in an interview with American magazine glamour, the actress opened up about how she unknowingly found herself at her own wedding ceremony. “It was like an intervention. I don’t think I ever told this story. They just took me to the town hall. My parents, my brother, everyone conspired against me. I was afraid of everything related to marriage,” she said. said. “That’s why it was a town hall wedding, because they dragged me there.”

Since then, the couple seems to be totally in love. Together they had a daughter, Valentina Paloma, who was born on September 21, 2007.
