Salma Hayek Pinault has been married to François-Henri Pinault since 2009, though she recently told Glamour that her Valentine’s Day courthouse wedding was a complete surprise. “I didn’t even know I was getting married that day,” she said during her cover interview. “It was like an intervention. I don’t think I ever told this story. No, they just took me to the court. My parents, my brother, they were all ganging up on me. I had a phobia of the marriage thing.”
“I was nervous,” she continued after explaining that she was “dragged” to the courthouse. “And then, after, there was a lunch at his parents’ house. My mother-in-law, who’s the most tasteful person when it comes to entertaining, had already been doing the lunch. I had no choice.”
Luckily, it all worked out in the end. “Afterward I said, ‘Oh, it’s okay. I don’t feel any different,’” Hayek Pinault added. “And then a little bit later I said, ‘Okay, this is kind of exciting.’ And [François was] like, ‘Can we have a party now?’”
