Salma Hayek and Francois Pinault tied the knot in not just one, but two wedding ceremonies. They first had a simple courthouse wedding in Paris on February 14th, 2009, and then later had a more extravagant celebration in April of the same year. The pictures also gave a hint of their double celebration, showing Salma in two different wedding gowns, each worn on a different occasion. 

“Perfect!!!” wrote Viola Davis whereas Jessica Alba highlighted, “the way he looks at you and you him,” adorned with red hearts. Lindsay Lohan showed hearts in her comment to express love for the couple. 


Salma Hayek was scared of marriage

Hayek enjoying a successful marriage of 15 years is seemingly a contrast to her statement on marriage phobia in February 2023. The actress had initially rejected two marriage proposals by the Gucci owner after they met in 2006, per US Weekly. 

Hence, she revealed in another interview with Glamour that while she had agreed to marry husband Pinault, her family had to drag her down the aisle. More so, her courthouse wedding was a total surprise, with everything taken care of by Pinault and his family. 

“I didn’t even know I was getting married that day. 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,” the Desperado star admitted.
