Salma Hayek Calls Off Engagement
Fri, 18 July 2008 at 10:12 am
Salma Hayek and French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault have called off their engagement, their rep confirms to USA TODAY. (We so called it earlier this week!)
“We are sad to announce the engagement of Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault has been canceled. There will be no further comment,” Hayek’s rep said in a statement.
The announcement comes ten months after the couple welcomed daughter Valentina Paloma, who was born in LA.
Earlier this week, Salma took her child Valentina out to lunch, with Francois Henri noticeably missing.
Salma began dating Francois-Henri, who is head of the luxury goods firm that owns Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, in 2006 after meeting him in Venice.

Lol, of course, she has her cash cow baby now.
Fugly salma
third!
haha, agreed.
haha, agreed.
haha, agreed.
third comment. shes pretty.
So in a nutshell, she hooked up with a billionaire, had a child with him and is now breaking up with him so he’ll have to pay her child support. Nice.
Salma comes from a VERY wealthy family and, of course, has a very
high income herself as an actress and producer. So she wasn’t with him for the money.
This guy has a big reputation as a ladies man so he probably just moved on. She has a gorgeous baby and I wish them both well.
Jesus Jared, are you that upset over the comments? Just post them.
I always knew they wouldn’t get married….
Why are people calling Salma a goldigger. Doesn’t she have enough money herself?
She has her money, but maybe her career or something else (he could be a womanizer) got in the way. I am happy for Salma, she was already pushing forty when she got pregnant, and she had always had a baby, not just money, she works for that herself.
I think Salma just want a baby. and I don’t think she ’s after this guy money, she’s successful and rich herself.
Too bad. I liked this couple. She seems very down to earth.
Maybe they just called off their engagement but not broken up?
And she doesn’t need the money. She’s extremely rich too!
Now that guy is rich. http://blabtech.blogspot.com
She should have waited until she at least got two children out of the deal; I would have pumped out those babies back to back before breaking off the “engagement.”
did anyone really think that these two would marry? really? this guy has boat load of money and can have any woman he wants. he was never going to “settle” down with salma.
she did it for the money
I have no idea how rich Salma and her family but this guy is really very very very rich.
I was thinking that she would have a baby from Edward but this guy will be a better father financially (if Salma is only interested in this)
HAhaaaaaaaaaa! her latino mexican fans are furious, they wanted so badly for salmita as they refer to her to marry a billionaire, well sorry i knew it wasn’t going to happen. He also left model Evangelista with a child before Salma.
Sad! She is one of my favorite actresses, and her baby is adorable.
bah, janet, you are exagerating, salma and her kid may not be utra super megarich, but so what? it’s not that she is middle class. And angry? is she going to give her money to her fans or why should they get angry?
Sillyme proves that people post about others what they would do themselves.
How awful to think that Salma, who has never given any indication of seeking out rich men for selfish, golddigger reasons, would latch onto a billionaire and have a baby solely to have the money. But I guess that’s what many of you would do if given the chance.
You idiots have no idea what you reveal about your ugly insides when you post such rubbish.
They should have gotten married first and then had a baby!

I guess she did it just for the baby then. Happy? Either way, she had less years with this guy, yet has a baby with him over Edward Norton. What makes him so special?
Why would a billionaire who can get as much booty action as he wants, why would he want to get married? Her child support for their child for a year will be equivalent to whatever he earns just for a single day in a year. He won’t even notice. I am sure his family were skeptical about having her marry into his family fortune…
Think she’ll go back to Ed Norton?
From an outside view, their relationship seemed strange from the beginning. Like they were never really even together as a couple. Who even knew they were dating until she became pregnant and they announced their engagement. Beyond that it seems that she never really wanted to marry this guy—maybe she just wanted a baby and thought a very rich father would be best for her child? It is true she does have her own money, but not billions.
I have also read he is a huge womaniser so maybe he moved on and they decided to end the farce. She also made it clear she had no intention of leaving LA and moving to Paris. Her business is in LA, and her family is close by, either LA or Mexico.
