Salma Hayek is officially a grandmother. The actor recently shared her joy on social media after her stepson, Francois Pinault Jr., and his wife, Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck, welcomed their first child. The newborn is the fourth generation of the Pinault family.
Hayek posted a video on her account showing her cradling the infant while speaking Spanish. In the post, she introduced a special nickname for the baby, calling him Panchito. She explained that while he bears the name of his father and grandfather, she feels the nickname is a perfect fit. The baby responded to her voice with giggles and coos during the video.
In addition to the new arrival, Hayek referred to herself as abue, a common Spanish term for grandmother. The birth marks a happy moment for the family, with the newborn joining a close-knit group that includes Hayek’s daughter, Valentina, and other family members from previous relationships. Hayek has often spoken about the significance of family and the importance of her role as a stepmother over the years.
The new parents also shared their own joy on social media, posting photos of the baby alongside his father and Hayek. The images show a transition into parenthood for Pinault Jr. and his wife. Hayek continues to maintain strong ties with her stepchildren and their families, often highlighting these milestones in her public life.
