Family is everything.”

Cruz and Hayek have been friends ever since Cruz first made her way to Los Angeles. She discussed her friendship with Hayek in an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” “I was coming here for two months and I didn’t know anyone here,” said Cruz. “And [Salma] picked me up and said, ‘You’re not going to the hotel. You’re coming to my house because this is hard at the beginning and you’re going to feel very lonely.’”
Cruz revealed that she ended up sleeping in Hayek’s room, with the two holding on to each other’s hands through the night.
