I love you more than love itself.”
She once had a slime-selling businessWhen she was only 9 years old, Valentina had already shown signs of one day becoming an entrepreneur thanks to her slime-selling business. The Frida actress once revealed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show that her daughter was into the slime craze and had even started selling it at her school. However, her side-gig likely came to an end after both Salma and her businessman husband told her it wasn’t right.
