The Actress Prioritizes Quality Family Time
Many Hollywood actors grow weary of life in the limelight. That’s precisely why Francois Pinault Jr. and Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck opted to keep their pregnancy a secret from the public. Fans were absolutely stunned to learn the couple welcomed a son this summer.
After experiencing the pregnancy in secrecy, the couple is delighted to introduce their little boy to the world. Of course, Salma Hayek seems to love gushing over the little boy and showing off videos whenever possible.
When her own daughter was young, Hayek tried to be a “hands-on” mother, even amid her busy work schedule.
“I try to be with Valentina as much as possible, even when I’m working,” Hayek told Red Magazine back in 2017 when her daughter was just eight years old. “She was with me on the cover shoot and she felt like a participant – she wasn’t just sitting there on the iPad. This is so important. You have to drag children into participating in life.”
The actress emphasized the importance of quality time and face-to-face interaction, something that she seems to prioritize as a grandmother.
Fans look forward to seeing more glimpses of Salma Hayek as a grandmother.
