Salma Hayek is a proud stepmom. The Mexican icon is known for having a loving blended family with her husband François-Henri Pinault. The pair are always spending quality time with their daughter Valentina, and his son Augustin and daughter Mathilde from his previous relationship with model Linda Evangelista from 1996 to 2004. 

Salma and Linda also have a good relationship, as they previously showed support for each other, and revealed that they continue to have a great blended family. The actress took to social media to write a sweet message for Augustin on his birthday. "Happy 18th bday Augie you’re officially a full grown up man who just became legal at least in Mexico and France," Salma wrote on Instagram.

Salma's motherhood journey:

"I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to. My body, as a miracle, had one," she previously said during an interview with Red in 2017. "The huge blessing I've had is that my husband has three other children. So I have four. And they are all so different."'

"My kids are humble. I don't know how I did it, but I think that what was great is that they have a big spectrum of things," she said to Page Six."So for Christmas, I like them to open millions of presents, but some of them are very small and meaningful, some of them are very silly and playful and then they get one or two really nice ones," she explained.
