Salma Hayek is celebrating stepdaughter Mathilde Pinault on her birthday.
“Happy Birthday Tildie 🎂, Wishing you a year as bright, beautiful, and full of promise as you are,” Hayek, 58, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 20, alongside several sweet photos of the actress and her stepdaughter, including a throwback photo from when Mathilde and daughter Valentina, 17, were children.
“So proud of the woman you’ve become!” Hayek’s heartfelt message continued. “We love you @mathildepinault ♥️.”
Hayek and Mathilde stepped out together last year for the 60th annual Venice Biennale for the event’s Fondazione Cini, Isola Di San Giorgio gala dinner in Italy. The stepmother-stepdaughter duo stunned in sparkling gowns, with Hayek donning a bright blue fitted number with a plunging sweetheart neckline. Meanwhile, Mathilde dazzled in a sparkling silver dress adorned with tassels.
Salma Hayek’s daughter, Valentina, has grown up to become her mom’s mini-me. Hayek welcomed her only child in 2007, six months after she tied the knot with her husband, François-Henri Pinault. She is also stepmom to Pinault’s three children — François, Mathilde and Augustin — from previous relationships. In 2013, Hayek shared that she started […]
Mathilde, 24, is the daughter of Hayek’s husband, François-Henri Pinault, whom she married in 2009. Pinault was already a father of three by the time they met. Pinault shares Mathilde with ex wife Dorothée Lepère, along with son François, whom the pair welcomed in 1998. Pinault also shares a son Augustin, born in 2006, with model Linda Evangelista. Hayek and Pinault welcomed Valentina together in 2007.
“I had a child late in life,” Hayek said to Red magazine about being a mother in 2017, noting at the time that she “identified” with her character in the 2015 film Tale of Tales who had a “desperate desire to have a child and maybe feeling that you could never be happy or complete, that your life is not complete, without this.”
She continued, “I’ve had that yearning, that longing, and that pain… I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to. My body, as a miracle, had one. The huge blessing I’ve had is that my husband has three other children. So I have four. And they are all so different.”
Hayek takes her role as a step mom seriously, previously gushing over her stepson Augustin for his 18th birthday in October 2024.
Salma Hayek is aging backward. The actress marked her 58th birthday on Monday, September 2, by posting a series of bikini thirst traps via Instagram. “Birthday bikini dump, happy 58th birthday to me! 🎂❤️🎉P.s none of these are throwbacks,” Hayek captioned the photo carousel, in which she sports a variety of bold and colorful swimsuits […]
“Happy 18th bday Augie you’re officially a full grown up man who just became legal at least in Mexico and France,” she wrote, alongside several sweet family photos.
“Your gentle heart is like healing caress in our lives because you bring warmth and light to everyone around you,” her post continued. “Keep bringing the laughter and joy. We love you so much.”
