SALMA HAYEK AND FRANCOIS PINAULT

Salma’s fantastic career as a Latin bomb has earned her an international degree of fame. In comparison, Pinault is the CEO of the Kering Group, the world’s second-largest luxury conglomerate behind LVMH. Salma Hayek and François Henri-Pinault have been together for 11 years and are still going strong.

Hayek and Pinault first met at an event at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice in spring 2006. In March 2007, the couple announced their engagement at the same time they announced Hayek’s pregnancy. They married twice: once in a city hall ceremony in Paris on Valentine’s Day and again in a star-studded ceremony in Venice, Italy. The Frida actress and her beau chose that place because it was there that they first met. Despite their firm belief that a healthy work-life balance is possible and can weave independence into a successful marriage, Salma and Pinault make it a point to put each other first. When asked about the key to their marriage, they emphasized the necessity of supporting one another and making each other the most crucial person in the world.
