By Dee AlvarezPublished Updated 1 min read
Salma Hayek has a brand new title to add to her legendary resume: step-grandmother. The Oscar-nominated actress is celebrating a huge family milestone after her stepson, François Pinault Jr., officially welcomed his first child alongside his wife, Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck. Reports confirm that the happy couple recently welcomed a baby boy into the world. The arrival expands the high-profile French dynasty and officially thrusts the *Frida* star into one of her sweetest real-life roles yet.
Who is Salma Hayek stepson François Pinault Jr.?

François Pinault Jr. is the son of Hayek’s husband, Kering chairman François-Henri Pinault, from his previous marriage to Dorothée Lepère. While the younger Pinault generally keeps a lower profile compared to his famous stepmother and fashion-mogul father, his life with new bride Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck has captured attention in elite social circles. The newlyweds officially tied the knot before embarking on their journey into parenthood. Now, with a healthy baby boy joining the family tree, the luxury fashion empire dynasty has gained its newest heir.

Is Salma Hayek close with her stepchildren?

Hayek, who married billionaire François-Henri Pinault back in 2009, has always been vocal about her deep bond with her extended family. In addition to sharing daughter Valentina Paloma with Pinault, she has consistently embraced her role as a stepmother to her husband’s older children, including François Jr. and Mathilde Pinault, as well as Augustin James Evangelista, Pinault's son with supermodel Linda Evangelista. Over the years, the movie icon has frequently shared rare glimpses of blended family vacations and red-carpet gatherings, proving that high fashion and tight-knit family values go hand-in-hand for the superstar. Fans are already dying to see how the most stylish grandmama in Hollywood handles baby duty. Congratulations to the happy family!
