Salma Hayek has worked with elite Hollywood actors, including George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Johnny Depp. So naturally, people might assume that the “Frida” star would spark a romance with one of these famous Hollywood men, but Hayek found an ever-lasting love elsewhere.
According to People, Hayek first met French businessman and CEO of French luxury company Kering, François-Henri Pinault, in 2006. The couple moved fast and announced their engagement in March 2007. They welcomed a daughter that September, who they named Valentina; however, the couple called off their engagement the following year. Their break was short-lived, as the pair married in February 2009 in Paris, France. When celebrating their 12th wedding anniversary in 2021, Hayek shared on Jada Pinkett Smith’s “Red Table Talk” the secret to their successful marriage. She said, “When there is conflict, we put all the energy in solving the problem — never finding who to blame or, ‘You should have done this or that.’ No. All our energy goes into, ‘How do we solve this?'” Hayek added, “We’ve never said anything nasty to each other.”

While it is Hayek’s first marriage, it became Pinault’s second. Parade reported that the billionaire businessman, who also has three children from previous relationships, was married to his first wife, Dorothée Lepère, between 1996 and 2004.
