Salma Hayek has finally given the world a glimpse into her super elegant wedding to mark her 15th anniversary with billionaire husband Francois-Henri Pinault.
The Frida actress shared throwback photos of herself with the Gucci businessman, 61, whom she wed in 2009. The pair exchanged their vows in front of their nearest and dearest at a courthouse in Paris on Valentine’s Day of that year before hosting a second, grander ceremony in April.
“There are no words to explain the blessing of finding your soulmate,” she captioned the snaps posted via her Instagram page. “For all of you who found it, never take it for granted. For all of you who haven’t, never give up #tbt to one of the best days of my life.”
The first photo showed Hayek, 57, in a white corset as she looked off to the side. Her hair was styled in a slick bun for the wedding day as she showed off a full face of makeup.
In a black-and-white image, the actress showed her two wedding gowns hanging from a clothing rack. Another photo showed her with Pinault at the altar as he put a sparkling diamond ring on her finger.
Jessica Alba wrote in her comments section: “The way he looks at you 😍and you him ❤️❤️❤️.” Viola Davis gushed, “Perfect!!!❤.”
Hayek, who met Pinault in 2006, previously revealed that she rejected two marriage proposals from the billionaire out of “fear.”
“I am ashamed to admit how many times he had to ask me,” she said in a 2021 interview with the Times of India, joking she had to be “dragged” down the aisle at their courthouse wedding.
Comparing the day to an “intervention,” she told Glamour in 2023: “They just took me to the court. My parents, my brother, they were all ganging up on me. I had a phobia of the marriage thing.”
She added: “I was nervous. … I had said yes to the marriage, but I just wouldn’t actually show up on the day or do it.”
The couple share a daughter Valentina, now 16. French-born Pinault, who is the brand Kering’s CEO, which manages the likes of Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and Balenciaga, spends his $7 billion fortune on stunning mansions and luxury trips around the world with his famous wife and family.
