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.
