Salma Hayek & François Pinault

The gorgeous Mexican actress Salma Hayek crossed paths with the French billionaire François Pinault in 2006. Salma made a public announcement in 2007, sharing her engagement to the businessman and revealing her pregnancy. In September of that year, she gave birth to their daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California. The couple tied the knot in 2009, celebrating their union with two ceremonies—one in Venice and another in Paris on Valentine’s Day. Despite their deep love for each other, the couple faced challenges in 2011 when Pinault was implicated in a paternity case involving Linda Evangelista’s son, Augustin James, who was born in 2006. Although they initially denied the allegations, they eventually reached a settlement regarding the child.
