Salma Hayek parents

Sami Hayek Dominguez (father)

Date of Birth: November 5, 1937

Zodiac sign: Scorpio

The father of a film start is Lebanese by nationality. He is an influential entrepreneur who made a considerable fortune in the oil market.

Sami did not miss the opportunity to pamper his beloved daughter. Usually, after the Sunday Mass, the Hayek family visited the only cinema in town. Obviously, it was often completely overcrowded. But for their family, that was not a big problem: the father just put little Salma on his shoulders, so the girl could take enjoyment in the performance to the full extent.

A remarkable fact about Sami: he is interested in the politics and prosperity of his own land, so once he even ran for mayor office in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico.

Now Salma’s dad is now over 80 years old and lives a happy family life.

Diana Jimenez Medina (mother)

Diana Jimenez Medina is a famous opera singer. Salma is convinced her mother has the most beautiful voice she has ever heard in her life and sings like an angel.

In one of her interviews, Salma says her mother sang all the time in her childhood and did really overuse her voice (there were some even embarrassing situations because of that).

However, Diana taught her daughter one important lesson: no matter what other people think about you, you are free to do your things from the bottom of your heart. Salma believes her mother is the person who showed and still shows that everything in this world is possible.

In the Forbes global ranking, released in March 2019, his father and his family ranked 30-th among the richest families of the world, and their total wealth was estimated at $29.7 billion.

Valentina Paloma Pinault (daughter)

Date of Birth: September 21, 2007

Zodiac sign: Virgo

In 2007, in Los Angeles, a famous artist gave birth to a little girl — Valentina Paloma Pinault. Prior to the birth, she was diagnosed with a serious illness — Down Syndrome. Luckily, it turned out the doctors were wrong: the diagnosis was not confirmed after the child was born.

At first, the girl lived with mother only, since the latter broke up with her lover, Valentina’s father, at that time. But a few years later, in 2009, Salma and François-Henri got married. The celebration took place in the Sixth Arrondissement town hall and newly weds renewed their vows in Venice.

In fact, even though Valentina is the only Salma’s child, she has three half-siblings (two sisters and brother) from previous relationships of her father.

Salma’s daughter is not embarrassed by extraneous attention and is not afraid of camera at all. Besides, she often visits big events with parents. Apart from attending Milan Fashion week, for instance, a little girl also participated in World Aids Day in South Africa in 2017.

This French-Mexican little star can speak English, Spanish and French. Currently, Valentina is studying in middle school, taking part in school drama performances, and is engaged in gymnastics.
