Salma Hayek celebrates 15th wedding anniversary with François-Henri Pinault

Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek, renowned actress and producer, recently celebrated a significant milestone in her personal life. On Valentine's Day, she and her husband, François-Henri Pinault, commemorated 15 years of marriage. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Hayek expressed her love and appreciation for her husband, emphasizing the ease, fun, depth, and freshness that their relationship continues to exude even after all these years.

The couple's journey began in 2006 when they embarked on a romantic relationship. A year later, their joy expanded as they welcomed their daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, into the world. In 2009, Hayek and Pinault exchanged vows on Valentine's Day in a discreet ceremony held at the City Hall of the Sixth Arrondissement in Paris. However, their commitment didn't stop there. In April of the same year, they celebrated their union once again, this time in a lavish ceremony in Venice, Italy. Their love was reaffirmed in August 2018 when they renewed their vows in an intimate setting on the picturesque island of Bora Bora.

Hayek's family unit extended beyond her and Pinault, as she embraced her role as a stepmother to Pinault's children from a previous marriage. She showers love and care upon Mathilde, François, and Augustin James, whom Pinault shares with the iconic supermodel Linda Evangelista.

When asked about the secret to their successful relationship, Hayek attributed it to their unwavering support for each other. She emphasized that marrying the right person was paramount and that both she and Pinault encourage and uplift one another in their individual pursuits. Their contentment lies in spending quality time together, which has led to a tight-knit bond between them.

In an interview with PEOPLE magazine, Hayek revealed the extent of Pinault's support during her involvement in the film Magic Mike's Last Dance. Acknowledging her initial concerns and assumptions regarding her male co-stars, she expressed her gratitude for Pinault's understanding and lack of jealousy. As Hayek grew closer to her castmates, she would call her husband from the set, sharing stories about the wonderful men she was working with. Pinault's response was both heartwarming and amusing, as he jokingly teased her about becoming best friends with the strippers. Eventually, he joined her on set and developed friendships with her co-stars, dispelling any apprehensions or misconceptions Hayek may have had.

Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault's enduring relationship serves as a testament to the power of love, support, and unwavering dedication. Their ability to find joy and fulfillment in each other's company has solidified their bond over the years. As they continue their journey together, we can't help but celebrate their love and wish them many more years of happiness and togetherness.
