Salma Hayek Becomes a Grandma as Stepson François Pinault Jr. Welcomes Baby With Wife Lara

Sometimes the life story of Salma Hayek, who has been named amongst the world’s greatest actresses at some point, seems almost unreal, but when she was in her forties and became a mother, at forty-one she had a daughter, and then became a stepmom to three additional children through marriage!

That said, let us focus on the most recent event in Hayek’s family timeline. Her 38-year-old stepson, the son of her French husband and Dorothée Lepère, has a baby boy, which makes Hayek a grandmother.

Who Is Salma Hayek’s Stepson François Pinault Jr.?

Salma Hayek has Valentina, a daughter aged 18, with her current husband, François-Henri Pinault.

In addition, she is stepmom to their son, François (38), and daughter Mathilde (25), who were born from François-Henri Pinault’s former marriage to Dorothée Lepère.

Their other son, Augustin (19), is Hayek’s stepson and shares his father with former supermodel Linda Evangelista.

As the stepmother and now grandmother in the family, it must feel surreal for Salma to be holding another François in the family.

Salma Hayek Shares Sweet Moment With Her Grandson

Salma ‍ ‌Hayek’s Grandson Gets a Cute Photo With Grandma Hayek. Hayek’s clip was shared via Instagram; it shows her cradling her little baby boy and telling him gently in Spanish, so charming. ‍ ‌‍ ‍‌

The caption says that her nickname for the kid will be Panchito, which is a sweet way to address men whose name starts with Francisco.

He ‍ ‌still carries the name of his grandfather and father: François. Giving a child the name or names of the parent or parental grandparents is quite common, and sometimes, children can bear the names of several ‍ relatives.

So with this new generation of François, Hayek is indeed quite blessed, as she stated. In addition, she also shared in the caption that the grandson was very fond of the nickname too.

Hayek Once Spoke About Her Blended Family

Salma Hayek became stepmother to the three children of her husband when she married him.

She said to Red magazine in 2017, “I always imagined that my kids were my future, that I have to be a mother to have that feeling.

I have been very disappointed in my inability to have more children because I had always wanted to be a mother to a lot of children.

However, the good thing was that my husband had his three other children, and therefore I got to love four children. Their personalities vary too much.”

At the moment, she is shooting Grown Ups 3, where she returns as Roxanne Chase-Feder alongside Adam Sandler.
