Mathilde Pinault Shares Adorable Pic with Stepmom Salma Hayek to Bid Farewell to Summer

Salma Hayek has often stressed the importance of family in her life, showcasing her strong connections with her husband François-Henri Pinault’s children. A recent photo posted by François-Henri’s daughter, Mathilde Pinault, captures this sentiment perfectly. The picture, which highlights their close bond, features Mathilde and Salma enjoying time together.

In Mathilde’s post, she shares her summer adventures, including moments with friends and various chic outfits. However, the standout photo is of her and Salma posing on a luxurious yacht, symbolizing their strong relationship.

Mathilde has been very open about her admiration for Salma, frequently discussing the significant role Salma plays in her life. “She is a diva; she has a complicated life, but she taught me how important it is to know how to simplify doubts and fears. I call her often, and when something doesn’t work, she has the power to take the edge off the matter and turn it into an obstacle that must be faced little by little,” Mathilde told Vanity Fair in 2022.

Salma Hayek has also been candid about her journey with motherhood and balancing it with a demanding career. “Women can have everything, but not at the same time. It has happened to me that, at times, I have been on the verge of making a film, and I am super professional, and at some other time, I have had to say: ‘No, I am leaving, right now I have to be here present (with my family),'” she mentioned in an interview with Glamour Mexico.

She elaborated, “When I make films, I am not separated from her (her daughter Valentina Paloma) for more than two weeks. This sometimes limits me a lot. François never complains, but children want to have their own lives. They want to follow their mother, and I don’t know how other actresses do it. I thought that when they were older, it would be easier, but no, in adolescence, you have to be just as present as when they were babies.”

Recently, Hayek shared glimpses of her vacation in Ibiza, Spain, before the end of summer 2024. The Oscar-nominated actress posted photos of herself on a yacht, flaunting a bold yellow bikini and proudly showcasing her silver strands. “Yellow bikini + white hair = perfect combination,” she captioned the image.

Just a week earlier, she had shared another fun and playful post. This time, she wore a purple bikini paired with a multicolored striped sarong, captioning it with a humorous question: “Bad hair day or free hair day?”

The heartfelt interactions between Salma Hayek and Mathilde Pinault highlight not only their close-knit family ties but also the actress’s dedication to balancing her work and family life in a harmonious way.
