Valentina Pinault: Salma Hayek’s Daughter

Salma Hayek gave birth to a baby girl today — Valentina Paloma Pinault.

“Mother and child are doing well,” her publicist Cari Ross said in a statement to the Associated Press.

This is Salma’s first child and her French fiancé Francois-Henri Pinault’s third.

Pinault, 45, is the chief executive officer of the luxury goods company PPR while Salma, 41, is (duh) an actress.

Congrats to the couple… and baby Valetina!

No details about the hospital, the baby’s weight and looks… well done. Just like when the news about her engagement and pregnancy came out… sparse and just need to know details.

Good for Salma.

OMG, he’s only 45. I estimated mid to late 60’s. Glad Mom and the baby are doing good. That’s the longest pregnancy I can remember….I’m tired just thinking about it.
