Salma Hayek Marries Francois-Henri Pinault

Salma Hayek got married to French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault over the Valentine's Day weekend. The couple has a daughter together named Valentina.
Hayek, 42, and Pinault, 46, were married on Saturday – St. Valentine's Day – in the City Hall of the Sixth Arrondissement in central Paris, according to the publication, which is owned by the Pinault family. Sixth Arrondissement Mayor Jean-Pierre Lecoq subsequently confirmed the report to the French news agency Agence France-Presse.

There had been recent reports that the couple – whose daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, was born in Los Angeles in September 2007 – had reunited after they had called off their marital engagement in July 2008. The two had originally announced their engagement in March 2007. Friends of the couple tell PEOPLE that a Paris trip in September (when Hayek attended the Balenciaga fashion show) and another in November helped rekindle the pair's relationship. Adds a source, they were "very evidently in love with each other, very affectionate in public" together at the Dubai Film Festival in December.

*****

Pinault is CEO of the luxury giant PPR and the son of one of France's richest men, Francois Pinault, whose fortune last year was estimated to be $16.9 billion by Forbes magazine.
Salma certainly kept the wedding news under wraps: this was a total surprise. It sounds like they just headed off to City Hall and got married. No church ceremony? No big party? Perhaps they'll throw a party later. In any event, congratulations to the happy couple!
