Valentina Paloma Rinault Hayek was already famous before she was born.
The daughter of Salma Hayek and François Henri Pinault came into the world in September 2007, but it was learned that her mother, one of the most famous Mexican actresses, was pregnant with her in March of the same year.
Hence, her birth was highly anticipated and, since then, she has been photographed on many occasions;
in fact, it was Hayek herself who spread the first photograph of her two months after her birth, posing with her little girl.
Hayek now returns to allow himself to be photographed with his daughter.
The 55-year-old actress shares the cover of a publication for the first time with Valentina, who is already 14 years old and says that she would like to "be an actress and then a director."
In this case, it is a report for
Vogue
magazine in its Mexican and Latin American edition where, in addition to posing for half a dozen portraits, they have also given an interview.
"What a great early Mother's Day gift," Hayek has written on her Instagram profile, where she has more than 21 million followers.
“I love these beautiful photos of Nico Bustos”, she says in reference to the Spanish photographer who has photographed them, “and this very special moment with my Valentina.
Thank you
Vogue Mexico
!”

The Mexican also explains that for her the arrival of Valentina was the most important thing in her life.
She had her daughter when she was already 41 years old, and she assumes that she was her mother “very late”.
“I did it because I found the partner of my life and I had a stable career, but I already wanted this daughter so much that nothing else mattered to me.
Neither my career nor anything, I think that helped me a lot.
In addition, I felt that I had already done many things in my life, so it was already a different stage for me because I had already done things that I was already very proud of, "she confesses now, almost three decades later.
She also affirms that nowadays “being a mother is scarier than ever, too much is asked of women”.

The actress, converted into a businesswoman and producer, says that her husband insisted that she return to acting when the girl was "just over a year old".
“Because at some point I might miss my profession, because it is also one that celebrates, because it allows me to unleash my creativity, and because I am an artist.
It was about three years after having Valentina that I began to act little by little and began to travel, when she was seven years old she sought to have her own rhythm and her own space.
In my case, although I have managed to continue acting and have been able to keep my profession alive and I adore it, it is not easy any day, there are times when decisions become increasingly complicated.
It is a fact that the family always comes to the fore, ”she reflects.
In fact, she assures that she is no longer involved in long projects: "Except when she goes camping, I think that's when I ask them to bring me a movie."
Joking about her involvement as a Latina in raising her daughter, Hayek says: "Mexican mom is a Mexican mom, no matter where you are...".
Valentina endorses it: “she always talks to me, that if I already ate, that if I already fell asleep.
It doesn't matter if she's in LA and I'm in London, it marks me.
And yes, I have to teach him how to use the phone.”
Valentina explains that she uses social networks not so much for the
likes
but for “having something to say”.
"I want to put things on my networks about who I want to be, but the important thing is also out there."
Salma Hayek poses with her two-month-old daughter, Valentina Paloma.
According to Hayek, the 14-year-old has always been very autonomous when it comes to dressing, and now she is when it comes to putting on makeup.
“Since she was little, she never let me choose her clothes, and I always liked that, she is also very good with makeup.
I'm good at makeup, but now she teaches me”, explains the actress.
In her talk, the young Valentina tells that “when it comes to her clothes, I love hers”, she says about her mother's wardrobe.
“I always use what I like, I hardly pay attention to the brand.
In general, I also like to combine and wear
vintage pieces
.
Yes, I like brands, but I don't use things for that, just because I like it," explains Pinault's daughter (who has three other children, two from a previous marriage and another with Linda Evangelista, just a year older than Valentina), president of Kering, the conglomerate of luxury brands that brings together Gucci, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney... and also Puma or Fnac.
