Salma Hayek revealed that she is now a grandmother. The actress’s stepson, François Pinault Jr., welcomed the baby, also named Francois, with his wife, Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck. “We are blessed to welcome the fourth living generation of Francois’,” Hayek, 59, wrote on Instagram. “Although I will call him Panchito. He seems to love it, and I cannot love him more.” Hayek shares a daughter, Valentina, 18, with 64-year-old billionaire businessman and husband, François-Henri Pinault. She also serves as stepmother to his three children: François, 38, Mathilde, 25, and Augustin, 19. The newborn’s mother, Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck, announced the birth of her son in a collage of photos and confirmed the birth happened last month, though the exact date remains unknown. Hayek has previously spoken out about her joy of being a mother and stepmother. “I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to,” the Teresa star told Red magazine in 2017. “The huge blessing I’ve had is that my husband has three other children.”
