Salma Hayek Now a Grandma as Stepson Welcomes New Baby Boy

Nollywood fans and the entertainment world at large have been treated to some exciting news: renowned actress Salma Hayek has become a grandmother. The development comes after her stepson, François Pinault Jr., and his partner, Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck, welcomed a baby boy. In a surprising move, the couple took to social media to break the news, revealing that they had been enjoying their new role as parents for about a month. Lara shared the news on Instagram, posting a series of intimate family photos that gave followers their first glimpse of the newborn, who has been named François. 'My husband (the world’s coolest François) and our son (the world’s cutest François) ... our first month as parents,' she captioned the post. The announcement was a double surprise, as it not only confirmed the arrival of the baby but also appeared to reveal that the couple had tied the knot, with Lara referring to François Jr. as her 'husband.' One of the photos shared by Lara showed a heartwarming moment featuring Salma holding her new grandson, with François Jr. by their side. This new addition to the family comes just a few weeks before Salma's 60th birthday, which is set for September 2. Salma has been married to François-Henri Pinault, François Jr.'s father, since 2009. She has previously spoken about the close bond she shares with her husband's children from his previous relationships. 'I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to,' Salma once told Red magazine. 'My body, as a miracle, had one. The huge blessing I've had is that my husband has three other children. So I have four. And they are all so different.' François Jr. is the eldest child of François-Henri, born in 1998 to his former partner, French designer Dorothée Lepère. The former couple also has a daughter named Mathilde Pinault. François-Henri has another son, Augustin James Evangelista, born in 2006, with supermodel Linda Evangelista. He and Salma have a daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, born in September 2007.
