Salma Hayek is clearly not just a star on screen, but a proud mom celebrating big milestones!
On September 23, the 59-year-old actress shared a heartwarming glimpse into her family’s life on Instagram, showcasing her daughter, Valentina, who recently turned 18. This significant birthday was marked with a carousel of joyful moments that encapsulated the weekend’s celebration.
“We ate, we danced, we laughed, we loved… and we kept the party going all weekend. Happy birthday mi cielo, celebrating you never feels long enough 🎂💃❤️,” Hayek expressed in her post, revealing a glimpse of their festive spirit.
The carousel featured Valentina, the daughter of Hayek and her spouse, French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, sharing special moments with her parents at an elegant gathering. (For context, Hayek and Pinault finalized their marriage in 2009 after three years of dating.)
The carousel captures intimate moments, including Hayek, adorned in a chic peach kaftan, dancing with Valentina, while Pinault joyfully hoisted their daughter onto his shoulder amidst the celebratory crowd.
Another touching video revealed both parents showering Valentina with affectionate kisses on her head, a simple yet poignant reminder of family love.
Valentina is Hayek’s sole progeny, but it’s noteworthy that Pinault has an extensive family tree encompassing three other children: his son François born in 1998, and daughter Mathilde, born in 2001, with ex-wife DorothĂ©e Lepère, as well as son Augustin Evangelista, 18, from his past relationship with Linda Evangelista.
Amidst the well-wishes, Hayek’s famous acquaintances chimed in on her Instagram post. Kate Hudson enthusiastically greeted, “Happy birthday V!!!!!!,” while Rita Ora added “Happy birthday V! We love you!”
Lenny Kravitz thoughtfully commented, “Happy birthday. Continued blessings,” while others like Olivia Munn, David Beckham, Jessica Alba, and Isla Fisher left likes, showing the celebrity support for Valentina’s milestone.
As the online chatter continued, many fans also pointed out the striking resemblance between Hayek and Valentina. One admirer commented, “Valentina is beautiful! She has Salma’s beautiful eyes,” highlighting the undeniable familial bond shared through their looks.
Interestingly, Valentina’s birthday was not the only occasion Hayek celebrated this month. She also shared a glimpse of her own 59th birthday on September 2, where she enjoyed a luxurious yacht experience, captured via Instagram. There, she posed in a striking red bikini with a cocktail in hand, reflecting on her vibrant life: “59 trips around the sun and still dancing ☀️💃🏻 ,” she captioned, gracefully thanking her supporters for their love.
In all her glamour, Hayek shone brightly, accentuated by oval-framed sunglasses and carefree beachy waves as she celebrated this special moment in her life.
