Salma Valgarma Hayek Jiménez was Salma Hayek's birth mother. Her career
started in Mexico, then in 1991 she relocated to Hollywood. The part that
Hayek is most recognized for is that of Frida Kahlo in the 2002 motion
picture "Frida." Her performance brought her nominations for Best Actress at
the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Academy Awards, the BAFTA Film Awards,
and the Golden Globes.
Hayek has appeared in a number of American movies prior to "Frida."
"Desperado" (1995), "From Dusk till Dawn" (1996), and "Dogma" and "Wild Wild
West" (1999) are a few of her other early hits. "The Hitman's Bodyguard,"
one of her most recent movies, was followed up with "Hitman's Wife's
Bodyguard," which debuted in 2021. The main character in the movie is
Hayek's Sonia Kincaid.
François-Henri Pinault, a French business billionaire, is Hayek's husband.
On March 9, 2007, the actress declared her engagement and her pregnancy at
the same time. Valentina Paloma Pinault, their daughter, was born in Los
Angeles, California, on September 21, 2007, thanks to Hayek. On Valentine's
Day in 2009, the pair tied the knot in Paris, France. In Venice, Italy, they
reaffirmed their vows the same year.
Although the couple has always kept their relationship mostly quiet, they
are parents to a stunning 15-year-old daughter called Valentina. A
significant recollection of Hayek's weaning her daughter off breast milk was
previously recounted. While accepting a UNICEF award, she recalled helping a
young woman in Africa who was having trouble getting milk for her newborn
child. It was during this recollection and story sharing that she shared
it.
Hayek is renowned for being a highly vocal celebrity. She has undoubtedly
become well-known in the entertainment industry, but her views on some
subjects, like aging in Hollywood, have also provoked discussion.
Hayek loves her aging gracefully and shares her photos on Instagram
frequently. The actress, who is in her 50s, likes publishing bikini pictures
without shame, blending old and fresh images together. In an interview with
ET, Hayek claimed that taking pictures in her swimsuit was
"liberating".
Apart from her hair, the actress has gorgeous skin. Harper's Bazaar reports
that she doesn't believe cosmetics is always required and doesn't use botox
or fillers.
Hayek's gorgeous appearance undoubtedly makes many across the world
envious, but the actress' daughter also appears to be a major fan of her
mother's style and attractiveness. In 2022, the renowned actress disclosed
the mother-daughter dynamic she had with her daughter Valentina.
"She takes everything from my closet, so we fight over clothes," Hayek
remarked. "I've always liked that since she was a little child because she
never let me choose her clothes." She is an expert makeup artist. I can do
makeup well, but she's teaching me now."
In May 2017, Salma said HOLA!, "Personally, Valentina and I are not very
similar." "On camera, though, she doesn't exhibit stage fright. Everyone in
my family exudes confidence, elegance, and lightness. It's Valentina and me
that become nervous on stage. However, she has no trouble posing for
pictures!"
Valentina, Hayek's daughter, was born in the same month as her well-known
mother. Valentina hardly appears on her mother's Instagram, as is the case
with many well-known celebrities' kids; Hayek would much rather keep her
minor child out of the spotlight, according to HELLO! Magazine.
The well-known actress took the stage at a significant UNICEF function
years ago. The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, or
UNICEF, is a nonprofit that works on children's humanitarian development. As
Hayek stood on stage to accept her UNICEF award, she thought back on a
narrative that she would always remember and that the world should
hear.
The actress stated, "This 15-year-old girl is crying, shaking with a
newborn baby and she said, 'Please help me, I need milk.'" Hayek recalled,
"We had so many things, but we didn't have milk." "Apart from that, I recall
that I had milk because I was weening my daughter," she continued. At that
point, Hayek took an action that could only be described as heroic. "I have
milk," she said. She commanded the young African mother, "Give me the baby,
give me the baby."
The actress said, "I sat down and breastfed this baby." She continued by
expressing how amazing the experience was for both her and the newborn
child. She tried to mimic the little child's shocked and joyful facial
expressions as she said, "I was mesmerized by the baby because that baby
took the first hit of milk." "He was saying, 'Thank you,' while staring at
me," Hayek said.
According to Hayek, a journalist ultimately snapped a photo of the private
exchange, and news eventually made its way back to the publicist for Hayek.
"Why do you act in this way? Are you deranged? Hayek recalled. "They could
have milked that milking moment, but they were super elegant and they never
said anything," Hayek said after chatting with the journalist who shot the
photo.
She remarked, "Three years later, the picture's photographer—a brilliant
journalist—was spearheading a campaign for breastfeeding in Africa." Then,
according to Hayek, "the milk companies started sending." It's reasonable to
claim that Hayek assisted a family in need by supplying milk to another
infant. During an interview with "Nightline," Hayek said that she was unsure
if feeding another baby was the correct decision.
"Am I being disloyal to my child by giving her milk away?" stated Hayek.
"To be honest, I believe my child would be really proud to offer her milk.
And I'm going to make sure she stays a kind, giving person as she grows up,"
the actress said.
"The flip side is a woman whose body is producing something naturally who
is actually using it in such a powerful and positive way," said ABC writer
Jennifer Perillo, who served as Working Mother magazine's food editor in
2009. Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz said, "I think it's completely crazy," in an
interview with ABC. However, I say, "Go." "She made a point, and she made it
loud and clear," the speaker said. Furthermore, it's sparked a discussion on
the benefits of nursing, women's autonomy in the matter, and the need to
overcome our fear of our bodies."
