  • She recently became a grandmother after her stepson François Pinault Jr. and Lara Cosima had their first child.
  • Hayek has maintained a prominent Hollywood career and appeared on Time’s 2023 list of the world’s 100 most influential people.

Salma Hayek is celebrating her 60th birthday with a new role in the family: grandmother. The Mexican actress and producer welcomed her first grandchild after her stepson François Pinault Jr. and his wife, Lara Cosima, had their first child.

“ We have the blessing of welcoming François’s fourth living generation. Although I’ll call him Panchito. He seems to love it, and I couldn’t love him more,” Hayek wrote two weeks ago alongside a video showing her holding the newborn. The birthday comes as she begins a new decade and continues to appear in film and entertainment.

Born on Sept. 2, 1966, in Veracruz, Mexico, Hayek built a long career as an actress and film producer after establishing herself in Hollywood. Time magazine named her one of the most powerful and influential Latino celebrities in Hollywood.

Hayek has been married to French businessman François-Henri Pinault since Feb. 14, 2009. They have been together for 17 years and are also known for their philanthropic work. In 2023, Hayek appeared on Time’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world, with fellow actress and friend Penélope Cruz describing her as strong and sensitive, with a huge heart.

We have the blessing of welcoming François’s fourth living generation. Although I’ll call him Panchito. He seems to love it, and I couldn’t love him more.
