One wished, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM” while another commented, “Happy birthday! It’s beautiful to see two people so happily married.” A well-wisher mentioned, “God bless you both.”

When did Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault get married?

Hayek and Pinault reportedly met in spring 2006 during a gala hosted at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, a marble palace owned by Pinault’s family. However, the former kept the story of their meeting under wraps for a long time. “It’s such a romantic, amazing story, but it is mine. I don’t want to vulgarize it by making it into a story to make myself interesting,” Hayek told Town & Country in 2019.

Nearly a year after dating, the couple went on to welcome their daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, in 2007. The pair reportedly tied the knot on Valentine’s Day in 2009 and Hayek said she had to be “dragged” to the courthouse for the wedding. “I didn't even know I was getting married that day," The ‘Magic Mike's Last Dance’ star once told Glamour. “It was like an intervention. I don't think I ever told this story. No, they just took me to the court. My parents, my brother, they were all ganging up on me. I had a phobia of the marriage thing,” she added.

Pinault also shares two children, Mathilde, 21, and Francois, 24, with his ex-wife Dorothee Lepere, and a son Augustin, 16, from his past relationship with model Linda Evangelista. However, Hayek shares a very close bond with her stepchildren, as per the Daily Mail.
