Salma Hayek celebrated her daughter Valentina Paloma Pinault’s 18th birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post that captured their special bond. The Hollywood star shared a sweet childhood photo of Valentina and wrote a touching message about how much her life has evolved, yet she remains true to herself.
“My beautiful dancing queen. Today you turned 18!!!!! So many things have changed in your life, but you are always soooo you,” Salma gushed. “A kind passionate heart, a wise soul full of magic, a unique unstoppable force of nature with a witty sense of humor and stubborn tenacity.”
She added that some things stay the same forever: “We love you forever and although you were always ahead of your years you will always be in my heart my dream daughter. Feliz cumpleaños Valentina Paloma.”
Valentina, born on September 21, 2007, is Salma’s daughter with French billionaire François-Henri Pinault. The couple announced their engagement and Salma’s pregnancy that same year. They tied the knot on Valentine’s Day 2009 in Paris and renewed their vows in Venice, Italy, just a few months later.
Salma Hayek kicked off her acting career in Mexico, starring in the telenovela Teresa and the romantic drama Midaq Alley. She quickly made waves in Hollywood with roles in action-packed films like Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn, plus comedies such as Wild Wild West and Dogma.
