Paris, France – Actress Salma Hayek recently shared throwback photos of her elegant wedding to billionaire husband Francois-Henri Pinault to mark their 15th anniversary. The Frida actress posted snapshots of herself with Pinault, whom she married in April 2009, on her Instagram page.
In one of the photos, Hayek, 57, can be seen in a white corset, elegantly styled with a bun and full makeup on her wedding day. Another black-and-white image shows her two wedding gowns hanging from a clothing rack, while a third photo captures Pinault putting a sparkling diamond ring on her finger at the altar.
Famous friends like Jessica Alba and Viola Davis poured in love and admiration on Hayek’s post, with Alba noting the way Pinault looks at Hayek and Davis simply stating, “Perfect!!!❤.” The couple tied the knot at a courthouse in Paris on Valentine’s Day 2009 before having a grand ceremony in front of family and friends.
Hayek had previously rejected two marriage proposals from Pinault out of fear before finally saying yes in 2006. In a 2021 interview, she admitted to being “dragged” down the aisle at their courthouse wedding and described the experience as akin to an “intervention” from her family.
The couple, who share a daughter named Valentina, enjoy a luxurious lifestyle thanks to Pinault’s role as the CEO of Kering, a fashion conglomerate managing high-end brands like Gucci and Saint Laurent. With a fortune of $7 billion, Pinault treats his family to lavish mansions and luxury travels around the world.
The actress reflected on her journey to marriage and parenthood in various interviews over the years, revealing her initial hesitations and fears about commitment. Despite her reservations, Hayek and Pinault have built a strong and lasting relationship, celebrating milestones like their 15th wedding anniversary with grace and love.
