OlderSalma Hayek: Pregnant & Engaged!
Yes, that Salma Hayek is pregnant AND engaged!
As first reported by The New York Daily News’s Gatecrash columnist Ben Widdicome via PerezHilton.com, Latina bombshell Salma, 40, and French billionaire buisnessman Francois-Henri Pinault, 44, are expecting their very first child together later this year.
Says Salma’s publicist, Ina Treciokas of ID Public Relations: “Businessman, Francois-Henri Pinault, and his fiancee, Salma Hayek, are happy to announce they are expecting the arrival of their first child.”
Since the day he was born, Francois-Henri had money growing out of his ears. His father, tycoon Francois Pinault (second picture below), is the founder of retail company PPR and ranked no. 74 among the world’s richest people in 2006.
Currently, Francois-Henri is the CEO of PPR, which basically runs the luxury-goods market. PPR owns big brands Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, and Balenciaga.
Salma was last spotted leaving King Road Cafe in Hollywood on Sunday, March 4 (above). Francois-Henri was last seen in Paris, announcing the 2006 financial results for PPR yesterday, March 8 (third and fourth pictures below).
Congratulations to newly engaged couple! Let the baby bump watch officially begin!

MAMACITA!!! Congratulations, Salma. Wishing you and your future husband much happiness. I hope it’s a GIRL!!!
Congrats Selma!
It’s “Salma”, but whatevs … anyway, this would explain the fug outfit and inability to have her hair straightened with chemicals. For sure this cannot be “love”, but who needs love when you get a few billion dollars for marrying “old boy”? Still, at least it will put the Lesbian rumors to rest for awhile. Just kiddin’. Not really. ;)
Congratulations Salma! This certainly is turning out to be one of your best years yet.
FELICITATIONS!
Not bad, not bad at all! I always wished Salma found a man who deserved her. Not complaining but dude is he rich or what?
Congratulations to Salma and her partner on the engagement and, more importantly, the pregnancy. She is a lovely under-valued actress.
Thank God ,cause those last photos of her were very scary
The original pictures of Salma Hayek candids does not show that big of a baby bump:) The picture that’s posted is manipulated.
Congratulations to Salma and her partner! I hope they will have a healthy baby and a happy life together!
I am so happy for her.
That bump is bizarre. :) Didn’t know lovely Salma was 40. Congrats!
That’s wonderful! Congrats to Salma and her future husband!
I bet Penelope will be the godmother.:)
I love how when a single gal announces her pregnancy all of a sudden she is engaged to the father….call it what it is people…I guess they should be applauded for trying to keep morality alive although they aren’t fooling anyone..and BTW doesn’t her ‘finace’ look waay older than 44???
Salma Hayek looking baby (or babies) with blon hair and blue eyes ;)
This guy can’t be 44? Brad Pitt looks better than him. And that guy was born billionaire. Oh, my…
I agree that her boyfriend looks older than 44 ! Nontheless, congrats to them both.
IM HAPPY FOR HER…LUCKY SALMA!
that explains why she was so hormonally emotional at the globes this year. hmm…this seems to be a very strategic man choice on her part. their class difference and ethnic backgrounds are so polar opposite that it can’t last.
doesn’t matter. now she will be RICHER THAN OPRAH and her baby will wear nothing but luxury goods. let’s hope baby looks more like her than him.
Congrats to Salma for:
1. Keeping this relationship undercover
2. Keeping her pregnancy undercover and private
3. Never cowtowing to the HW belief that a woman must wear her personal life on her chest like it’s a badge of honor
4. Balancing professional endeavors (Ugly Betty) with her personal pursuits
5. Never whining about not having/finding a man
6. Never whining about her ‘biological clock’ or turning/being 40 (I didn’t know that)
And dozens of things that the public, entertainment journalists and gossip bloggers don’t know about.
Congrats, big time!!
I agree also: he looks older than 44. She looks younger than 40, though.
She maybe a good actress, and of course, “financially independent”. But the first appearance of this relationship to me is money buying beauty and sex. There might be people who consider her “ugly” just as those who talked about a celeb’s baby being ugly, but I think Salma qualifies as a symbol of female beauty and sex.
aw congrats to them! she’s awesome :)
She may not be from the same kind of wealth (who is??) as this guy, but to whoever said they were polar opposites due to class is very wrong. That shows how you are stereotyping her because she is Mexican. Salma is the daughter of a wealthy Mexican businessman and her mother was an opera singer. She grew up in luxury, attended private schools and was even kidnapped once as a child for ransom. She is not unaccustomed to wealth as she has had it all her life. This guy is just wealthier than most.
Congrats to Salma and her fiance, that is great
Great news, good for Salma!
She has been talking about having a baby for a while.
But why did they photoshop the picture? I saw a series of pics of her from that day and this one is soooooo manipulated. It’s so stupid.
Is the guy really just 44 years old? she looks about 60 yrs. Brad is 43 and George 45, the guys is way too old than them.
This Picture has been doctored. I’ve seen it many other places, and there is no bump like that in the pic.
Salma is a very wealthy woman, both by birth and by her work. I find it very prejudiced of people to imply she chose her boyfriend because he is richer than her.
You are a bunch of sick-in-mind people!!!
You have not been asked to be with this guy. Salma loves him and is pregnant with their baby. This is the most important thing.
Because he is rich, French and looks older than his age, do you really think that this relationship will not last? You are truly sick in mind people.
Whoo congrats to her and Francois! Yes, the photo (belly) has been manipulated.
i love salma and think she is a beautiful, hard working, smart woman but i am not stereotyping her because she is mexican. her heavy accent shows her class and she does not have an uppercrust or neutral spanish accent when she speaks. i know a few boarding-schooled latin americans and they do not have heavy accents when they speak other languages. they’ve been taught by the best teachers and know that accents can show where you are from financially & socially. besides, she wouldn’t have taken on soap roles or play a table dancing demon if she was born rich. she has worked for her money. many wealthy folks don’t…
so please don’t put words into my mouth. no one is stereotyping here.
What amuses me most is that Salma could be in a relationship and get pregnant and engaged and no one seemed to know about it! The crazy gossip bloggers and tabloids were so preoccupied with the “gay angle” they missed the bigger story. They do that a lot.
I’m not too crazy about Jared’s use of doctored pics, ie Giselle.
What’s up with that, Jared? LOL!!
People have got to be more discerning. It’s obvious that photo is not a currrent one of Salma. She was at the Golden Globes as flat as a panckae. That’s probably a still from a scene in a movie or an altrered pic. That is certainly not her currently pregnant.!!
Virgo you are right. Tom Cruise is 45, Pitt 44…this guy looks at least 15 years older than them. Baby probably needs to stick with the Hayek genes.
I ain\’t saying she\’s a gold digger, but…
#21. Good that you pointed out her birth backround.
So, on second thought, maybe this is a very suitable and natural match. He still looks much older.
31
piper, with a low Says:
***
yup LOL
wow congrats, don’t know his reputation but I hope they’re a good match.
wait a minute…being a millionaire and being billionaire are 2 different worlds.
i remember reading that salma admitted to being home shopping network junkie. billionaires don’t know what HSN is and if they do, they probably think it’s where you can buy your mansions online.
guaranteed they will have an airtight pre-nup. she will make a cute mom though.
The kid will be speaking English either with Spanish accent or French. :)
One can speak French or Spanish, one can learn to speak the other one very easily.
that photo is doctored. I have seen it on other sites and the bump is about 1/2 that size.
Salma can pick em. Francois is really cool. this must have the fashion crowd’s tongues wagging today. LOL!!! Congrats to Salma & Francois. What an international baby they will have.
Congratulations to Salma, I knew she was expecting. I saw pix of her coming out of a fertility clinic last year so I wonder if she was trying to get pregnant for a while. I think it’s a good choice for a husband: rich, older, not in showbusiness, not a rock star or a country music star with a drug problem, obviously cares for her if they’re engaged. It DOES seem strange that she was in a serious relationship that nobody knew about but whatever… if he wants to take care of her, I don’t inquire about their motives. I love Ed Norton but he’s was crazy to let her go.
Isn’t it amazing what a good plastic surgeon can do?
http://www.celebrityplasticpics.com/img/salma_hayek_plastic_surgery.jpg
how far along is she? that pic JJ posted w/a purple dress the bump looks weird, did yah doctored/fotoshopped that JJ? happy 4 Salma H. but i doubt if she n that french guy will lasts, i mayb wrong but am sticking 2 my words u watch hehe
The guy looks about 55 but hey love is blind right?? Money makes him more appealing i guess…ah well congrats
she is lebaneze, he is french,
the baby boy will be what ???
she is rich, will be richer, maybe not
if she sign a prenup!!!
Wish them luck, don’t forget the future groom(I hope he will marry her)
is not a movie actor, must look good, is not in his cards,
must smell good is!
She is and will be working,
is not the type to stay home
and wipe the children, wish them more than 1 child,and not adopeted!!
That picture of her in the purple dress has been completely altered. She is not nearly that big yet. Terrible photoshop job.
Jared: I was just going through the Forbes Website and They have this man listed there and they have him listed as 70 YEARS OLD. I think Forbes is a pretty credible site and he looks about 70.
Here is the link:

46,
It’s his father, for God’s sake!
The name of the father is François. The son’s name is François-Henri who is engaged to Salma.
#46…..THAT’S HIS DAD!!
Good for her!!
Dee, you sound so …. politically incorrect with your view on Salma’s background.
There are people who just have a hard time losing accents when speaking other languages, and there are others who are very natural at faking them (as some actors have to do).
I’m no expert, but in Mexico, where Salma was born, and particularly Veracruz, the state, that Salma´s father is from Lebanese ascendant, and her mother, Spanish (there was a large group of Spaniards living in Mexico due to the Guerra Civil many years ago, and some stayed).
Since she was young she has pursued a career as an actress, her family not even knowing she was studying acting at first, but then she became thedarling of soap operas down here…just that it wasn’t what Salma wanted.
I like the fact that she is ambitious and willing to give up the easy success of Mexican drama tv to go and start from ZERO in some silly Hollywood movies, acting in some stereotypicall characters to get a name for herself in that industry. As many women, she has posponed family until now, but you can see that now she is rich by her own work and merit, and has gone from a bimbo to a succesful oscar-winning producer, besides being the most successful alive Mexican woman in movie industry out of Mexico, who knows, maybe as succesful as Dolores del Rio and Lupe Velez.
Wow, sorry, is just that I felt as if Dee was saying that we had not the right to marry or work out of our “ghetto” or something.
Sorry about the Sp mistakes
What is she? Crazy?
Why marry an old, ugly guy? Because he is rich and Caucasian? Ugh! She’s another pretty woman who likes ugly guys. Ed Norton was ugly too, though a great actor.
What a waste of good looks. The baby will probably look just like this guy.
To that golddigger claim: bullshit! If men are by nature supposed to spread their seed then women are to seek men with status to ensure the survival of their offspring. Yet men get lionized for their sexual appetite while women get condemned for seeking status. Grown-ass men can take care of themselves, without you babysitting them. If she had married a man with less money than her you would’ve attacked her for having castrated him. Face it: you’re just female bashing. Period.
Besides, she did grow up wealthy (her father was an oil executive) and she’s rolling in bank now as a producer. She’s always said she’d only marry a man who had bigger cojones than she does, so she’s always come across as someone who places strong character as a priority in a mate.
dee, you are very prejudiced if you feel that the thickness of a person’s accent makes them of a lower class. Do some research besides the KKK and you will easily find anywhere Salma’s family’s pedigree. Oh and to the other nimrod who thinks that the HSN is only for the lower class, think again.
Congratulations to Salma and Francois-Henri
WOW!!!! I didn’t even know that she was seeing anyone. I am happy for her. But I do have to say that this guy sort of resembles Edward Norton. They dated for about 5yrs. I think she really loved Edward but he broke her heart. I am happy for her that she had found happiness and will be opening a new door in her life.
Congrats Selma! That child is going to be beautiful.
Whatever!!
Age..money..yada..yada
Not your life..only your narrow minded opinion!!
Good luck Salma in “YOUR” life..LOL
dee, sorry but you are an idiot. Just because she has a thicker accent than those latin americans you know that attended boarding school, does not mean that she is working class and did not attend any boarding schools. Facts are facts and it is well documented that she grew up in a wealthy home, went to boarding schools, and was kidnapped once for ransom. Just because she became an actress on a soap opera does not meant she can’t be from a wealthy family. This isn’t the 1800’s anymore. So say what you want but you can’t claim that her accent proves she was not born into wealth. Do your research before you write something like that…
Ya she did live in luxury her whole life so this is hardly about her getting his dough.But boy is the guy rich,this totaly surprised me,i had no idea she is dating him.Congrats to her and him for their future baby.
I didn’t know Salma is pregnant and got a man! That’s a double whammy right there!
Penelope will be a great godmother!
Congrats, Salma!
FYI: there is no type of pre-nup in France such as those in the U.S. So, if they marry in France, they’ll only have the choice between sharing everything or separating it all. I just hope that they choose the second one so you will all feel ashamed. She’s not a gold digger. You’re just a bunch of misogynist!! and this also include you girls!
Congrats to the happy couple!
So the update says Nicole Kidman tried to bag him first. Too bad she now has to pay for her Balenciaga gowns AND her hubby’s trips to rehab.
Congratulations to Salma! She has always been a class act.
love salma! so happy for her. she is one of the most beautiful women in the world.
good for her!
Marry rich. Marry a billionaire, but my God, when you are this beautiful, DO NOT MARRY UGLY!
Salma has a preference for ugly white men. Shame on her!

maxine Says:
Yep, I like Ed Norton too, and considering he is supposed to be one of the smartest actors in HW being a Ivy league grad (Harvard?) he is a fool for letting Salma go. I like her as an actress, has a lot of spirit. Reminds me AJ. So, I wish her the best, and it doesn’t matter what your honey looks so long as he treats her right. That is the most important. So yeah, Salma, more power to you, and may you and your knight in shining armour live happily ever after. :D
miller- some posts back - really intelligent post, no snark.
GIVE THE GIRL A BREAK. SALMA DOES NOT NEED YOUR APPROVAL OR YOUR STUPID OPINIONS TO CHOOSE WHO SHE MARRIES OR HAS A BABY WITH.
ALL YOU PEOPLE SAYING NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT HER IS JUST BECAUSE YOU SICK WITH JEALOUSY!!!!
VIVE LA FRANCE!!!
HEHEHEHEHEHE
I think her hubby-to-be is adorable!
I think there must be something in Salma which attracted this guy. frankly , Nicole is prettier and younger than Salma, and with his freaking money, he could have anyone, young, pretty, sexy models were everywhere. but he chooses Salma . Good catch, she will joining the forbes top 20 richest female celebrities next year. life is just unfair !
Jq, Nicole will be 40 in June. She is only some month younger than Salma. As for being prettier, I do not find her so: she has frozen her face and looks like a freak. Salma is beautiful and very sexy with her voluptuous body. And young models boring sticks, let them be with young boys or middle-aged man with middle-life crisis, who buy Ferraris and date bimbos.
Congratulations Salma! Great Guns! Courtney Love, you can’t be that with a stick and I’ll bet Mr. Pinault will understand her just fine-it’s called class if you hadn’t noticed.
Au revoir!
Dee, you are seriously racist. Your entire comment was filled with racist comments. Who cares about any of that stuff? Salma is a very accomplished woman and I suggest to you that only enhances wherever she may have come from!
As I said it doesn’t matter if she has a heavy accent, I personally find it engaging! You could only hope. As far a putting words in your mouth, I think you did that just fine.
Remember Dee, it doesn’t matter where you start, it’s how you end up and I think Salma will end up just fine with or without Mr. Pinault. Women should not define themselves by men, or what men may have. Ms. Hayek accomplished a lot on her own and still continues to do so. We have no idea if they will marry or not or even if they do if the marriage will succeed. But I doubt if the unfortunate should prevail, Ms. Hayek will do fine on her own.
Let’s hope Mr. Pinault is a gentleman.
She loves the creamer in her coffee, heh? She needs a man with some flava. p.s. she looks good with or without the plastic surgery.
Oh please stop sticking up for your ugly French men! Who could be jealous of this thing? The man is ugly. Period! It will be a miracle if she has a beautiful baby. Just because he’s rich. Oh heavens. There are plenty of rich, attractive men she could have chosen to father her child.
Beautiful women like Salma prefer ugly men because an ugly man will put her on a pedestal. He feels lucky to land such a beautiful woman and will worship her. Sick. What happened to marrying your equal? She just wanted a rich ugly white man that she could control. She always was a little loud.
I’m not happy about this union. Ed Norton would be better than this creature feature.
Disgusted,
You must one pathetic loser to write what you write. Salma does not gave a hoot what you think about her choice. Go make yours and come and post us a picture of he looks like.
Otherwise, you are just plain JEALOUS and a RACIST
You’re an idiot! I couldn’t care less if she marries a white guy, but why did she have to choose someone so fugly?
Furthermore, who are you? An ugly white guy? An ugly white girl? Please!
Even Halle Berry had more sense. At least she picked someone reasonably handsome.
besides the cash( she has her own) maybe he’s a nice guy with a great BIG. . . . . . . .Heart. it is not always about looks . DAMN!
Come on Mexicali, isn’t this the way it “usually” is with minorities? When we are successful and marrying within our own race, we expect the best and the best-looking, but when we (asians, blacks, hispanics, indians etc) marry a caucasian, we lower our standards considerably. Here in the South USA, Asian women are increasingly marrying inbred-looking, country rednecks who have zero physical appeal.
Jlo pined after Ben Affleck more than any guy she dated, and he loved booze and strippers. Yet, she was ready to marry that “then” dirtbag up to the end. Her crazy mama went on and on, bragging about how much she loved Ben. I wonder why no such quotes about Marc, huh? She’s been with him the longest. Jlo only married Marc after getting knocked around emotionally a few times and developing a reputation as a woman who can’t stay married. She came back to her senses, we hope…
Hayek is beautiful enough to get it all: rich, handsome & nice.
Dee…sgusted… I do not think that you should be so judgementantal for someone’s else’s choice. We cannot know or care what this Monsieur Pinault or whatever is like, acts like or impressed Salma with. If you re more than superficial or shallow you should know that looks aren’t everything, and besides the money he could be smart, gentle and sophisticated, and if she prefers that to a model-looking someone, that’s great!
Who cares what her fiance or the baby looks like? that is their life. As a Mexican I’m happy that she is succesful in her career and now she is creating a family, I don’t understand the obsession with race that some have, to stay or not within our Latin origins or to find someone beautiful (narrow-minded or shallow-minded). There are peopel who just don’t care about that, ask Gael Garcia and Natalie Portman a few years ago… or Sophia Loren and her deceased husband… they were very happy, and there are many more examples, everywhere.
I don’t thinks that he is very handsome, but maybe for all your worries, maybe he is just not that photogenic!! :P
Marina I know where you are coming from and respect your viewpoints. I’m honestly venting here. It was rather shocking to me to learn that Salma is pregnant and getting married at all. Then, to see the papa-to-be was… well… disappointing to say the least.
I won’t go on with this any longer. I’ve had my little nervous breakdown for the day.
WOW!!!
Salma really can bring the bugs out!!! Quick a can of RAID!!!
Y did u edit this picture and make SH’s belly bigger? Here is the original picture: http://popsugar.com/160750
C’mon, out of all the eligible men in world she takes this billionare…lets get real, money DOES have something to do with it. If he is 44 then he sure is a rough 44.
Does anyone truely believe if he were worth only, say…50 million she still would have dated him. Please….
And the guy dyes his eyebrows….ewwww…
Salma is pregnant !!!! from who ???? this guy is very old he is really just 60 years old? I think this is valls .
This is not true !! Salma pregnant !!! from who ??
HER NAME IS SELMA NOT SALMA!
The only difference between me and that guy is billions of dollars… and that I’m better looking. I love Salma and I wish her the best in life. Family, beautiful healthy children, and more success!!!;)
TsSsSsSSS hon efaan ful
Theres no doubt that picture was adjusted with phtoshop. And what a poor job they did too. You can see the blur and smudging on her dress around the belly.
Salma !!! felicidades!! acabo de tener una nina que la llame Isabella y es una bendicion de Dios.. :)
Felicidades,siempre me dicen que me parezco mucho a vos y cuando estaba embarazada mucho mas!! se que tu bebe sera bellicima!!! como mi Isabella :)
I do believe congratualtions is in order here to the happy couple. I beleive this is the highest accomplishment for them both I don’t see why age should be a factor between mates, or your nationality. I feel they are both exceptional people and have much to offer to their child, and love and happiness is all that matters. I am speaking from personal experience. I am also from mexico. Raised and educated here in the states and my mate is a bit older than me and born in the U.S. I completely understand their unique and special relationship. I have learned that you just have to shrug at all the comments and live your life as you see fit and do what makes you happy. Who cares what the public says. What matters is what your mind and heart say and not what the tabloids say. Salma and Francois have been blessed with God’s greatest gift (love, a mate to share everything including your life with, and a child. cherish it and don’t question god’s gifts. Not everyone is this fortunate). I’m sorry to see that your in the public’s eye and are always dealing with public scrutiny. But don’t live your life by listening to the public’s opinion onsuch matters. Your life is your life and it’s private. The only person who’s words and opinions should matter are your futrure husbands’. I wish you much luck, happiness, and a healthy beautifull baby. Congratulations again to the happy couple.
