@thestartracker: Salma Hayek made a rare public appearance with her husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, at the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in Santa Monica. The movie star first met Pinault, the billionaire owner of luxury brands including Gucci and Saint Laurent, at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, Italy, in 2006, and the pair began dating shortly thereafter. They had their first and only child together, daughter Valentina Paloma, in 2007. Despite their wealth, they married in a simple courthouse ceremony in Paris on Valentine's Day, 2009 and staged a more elaborate ceremony with friends and family in April of that year. Despite the success of her marriage, Hayek admitted she was initially reluctant to marry Pinault, telling the Times of India, "I am ashamed to admit how many times he had to ask me. They just took me to the court,” she added. “My parents, my brother, they were all ganging up on me. I had a phobia of the marriage thing.” #salma #salmahayek #redcarpet #redcarpetfashion #style However, in an interview with People magazine, she admits that her marriage is one of the best choices she has made in her life. “I married the right guy. That is probably the most important thing. We support each other in everything we do. We want the other one to strive. Makes you happy when the other one strives.”
