Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault recently celebrated their second wedding in Venice, Italy - their daughter Valentina was a flower girl - and now the couple are enjoying some couple time on an island off the eastern coast of Africa. How romantic!

Salma looks great, doesn't she?

The newlyweds were spotted as they checked into the exclusive North Island Hotel, and an eyewitness said, "Salma was hugging Francois and constantly kissing him. They were so into each other."

The lovebirds took a romantic stroll on the beach, collected seashells and then returned to their 4,800-square-foot villa. Can you imagine a vacation pad that big? My house isn't even that big! But, I digress...

You know what happens on honeymoons, right? People often make babies - true story. Maybe they'll have an announcement in a few weeks, saying Valentina will become a big sister!

Salma Hayek Has Fairytale Wedding, Baby Valentina Was A Flower Girl

Sassy Smith — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:05:00 GMT

Actress Salma Hayek and her husband, French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, married for the second time on Saturday, April 25, in a beautiful ceremony in Venice, Italy. They first tied the knot on Valentine's Day, in a civil ceremony at City Hall in Paris, but Salma wanted to do it again, with a big affair for family and close friends. Their daughter Valentina, 19 months, was the flower girl.

From PEOPLE:

This time around, Hayek, 42, went all out. She wore a Balenciaga wedding gown by Nicholas Ghesquiere as she exchanged vows with Pinault, 46, at Venice's opera house La Fenice. The bride, who wore her hair in a bun with a long veil, held a bouquet of orchids and stephanotis with crystals.

The couple's daughter, Valentina Paloma, 19 months, was a flower girl, along with Francois-Henri's son and daughter from his first marriage, Francois, 10 and Mathilde, 8. Valentina wore a dress by Bonpoint for the ceremony, which started around 7 p.m. At one point in the ceremony, the guests sang "Over the Rainbow."

About 150 friends and family members were in attendance, including Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton, Woody Harrelson, Olivier Martinez, Luis Miguel, Ashley Judd, Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend, Bono, Gael García Bernal, Enrique Murciano, David Blaine, Ziyi Zhang, Anna Wintour and former French President Jacques Chirac. The wedding was a black tie affair. Guests wore black and gold masks as they arrived for the nuptials.

The weekend celebration kicked off Friday evening with a carnival-style masked ball at the Venice's historic Punta Della Dogana. The structure, which is leased from the city by Pinault's father and has undergone a $70-million renovation, will open to the public on June 6 as the Pinault Foundation Centre for Contemporary Art.

The couple's guests have enjoyed the sites of Italy's most romantic city since arriving Thursday. Woody Harrelson and wife Laura were spotted hand-in-hand taking a stroll around Piazza San Marco on Thursday.

Earlier this month, Hayek told PEOPLE, "I think a wedding is about love, friends, family and fun." And she certainly got that during the celebration surrounded by loved ones.

Congratulations! I bet little Valentina was adorable walking down the aisle!

Wow Salma, motherhood looks good on you. Salma and her family traveled to St. Tropez for a little fun in the sun.

They look like such a happy family, don't they. It's like they truly enjoy each others company. Is it the fact that they are in St. Tropez that they are so happy or is it real.

I think it's real bliss.

Salma Hayek: Being Older Makes Me A Better Mom

Sassy Smith — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:02:00 GMT

Salma Hayek doesn't regret waiting to become a mom in her 40s. She believes she's more fulfilled at this stage in her life and that benefits her daughter Valentina Paloma, now 18-months-old.

In the latest issue of WebMD magazine, the 42-year-old actress dishes on motherhood.

Salma wasn't sure if she and now husband Francois-Henri Pinault could even conceive.

"I thought I was going to need help getting pregnant, and I didn't." And Salma is glad she waited to have kids. "I'm a more fulfilled being now, and I probably wouldn't have been 10 years ago. She gets a better mother for being born now."

Will she and Francois have more kids? Possibly! Even though her pregnancy with Valentina was a bit complicated.

"I was nauseous for the whole nine months, and the only thing I craved was fruit - cold mango, watermelon."

She added, "I feel that I’ve done enough things in life where I can appreciate the time I spend with her as my No. 1 priority and not feel I’m missing out on something…I feel I’m a lot more patient. I wouldn’t trade this for anything in the world."

Salma has relaxed her work schedule now that she's a mom.

Hayek even canceled a movie she was set to do, because she didn't have "the guts to do something violent and dark. Maybe I'll change my mind later, but right now, I want easy movies that I can take my child along to... I want uplifting movies for the world."

She was admittedly addicted to breastfeeding Valentina, but weaned her shortly before her first birthday because she felt she [Valentina] was ready.

"An actress I knew said, 'You're still breastfeeding? You're crazy!' Valentina wasn’t even one yet, and she was like, 'Why would you do that? That’s for India!' I was shocked at the level of ignorance. The best thing you can ever do for your child in your lifetime is to breastfeed."

Salma spends most of her time with her daughter, even when she has to work.

"I stay home a lot with her, and feed her and bathe with her. That’s relaxing. Yesterday I started watching a movie during her first nap, and finished it during her second nap. I wait until she’s asleep and I sneak one in. That’s how I watch a movie these days."

Salma Hayek and new husband Francois-Henri Pinault's little angel, Valentina, 17 months, rules the roost in their home! The pretty tot, according to her mom, is the one in charge.

Hayek said, "She's a little dictator!" However, Valentina has more than just bossy qualities. The proud mom added, "She is unique, magical - definitely the most colorful person I've ever met.

"I feel so connected to her, but at the same time, we are completedly different. I discover something new about her every day."

Valentina is certainly a beautiful baby - but that's no surprise, look at her mama!

This is what love is supposed to look like.

Little Valentina is set for life if her parents show this kind of love all the time. An obviously jealous onlooker said, “The couple quickly embraced, kissing passionately and appearing genuinely happy to see one another.” I say jealous, because, how could they not be.

Salma finished up filming her guest roles for "30 Rock" and is now back where she wants to be. She is going to work on her line of affordable cosmetics that has been her pet project for the last three years.

Ahhh, sweet love, it looks good on you Salma.

Newly married Salma Hayek hit the town with her own little Valentina on Sunday. The twosome spent part of the day at the farmers market, where Salma tried in vain to get Valentina to ride the ponies and pet the bunnies.

What was she thinking? Those are the two fiercest creatures at the petting zoo and are to be treated with the utmost of respect.

Salma looks incredible in her dress and Valentina is, as always, adorable. It is nice to see how long her hair is getting.

Valentina is Additicted to the Paci

Valentina looks like she has a serious addiction going on. She even has the paci attached to her shirt, just in case she needs a hit like, right now.

Oh, I'm just kidding. Sometimes as babies they just need something to take the edge off or to feel comfortable. She'll get rid of it sooner or later.

How old were your kids when they got rid of their pacifiers and did they let go willingly?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 14:08:00 GMT

Happy Valentine's Day: Salma Hayek and French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault have reportedly tied the knot in France on February 14.

The couple, who started dating in May 2006, exchanged vows at the city hall of the Sixth Arrondissement in St. Germaine, Paris.

Hayek and Pinault had called off their engagement last summer, but were seen getting cozy again in December. Sources said they were "very affectionate" at the Dubai Film Festival.

Salma, who did a stint on "30 Rock," admitted she was thinking of Pinault as she was kissing Alec Baldwin in the love scenes that they shared. She said, "I keep telling Francois, 'I imagine I was kissing you.'"

Salma, 43, and Francois, 46, have a daughter together - Valentina, 16 months. Maybe she was their flower girl?

Congrats to the happy family and maybe they'll be hearing the pitter-patter of more little feet!

Salma Hayek Says Hooey to the Biological Clock

Salma Hayek Can't Kick Her Addiction

Video: Salma Hayek Makes Daughter Proud, Breastfeeds African Baby

Sassy Smith — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 12:05:00 GMT

Salma Hayek, a UNICEF spokesperson, recently visited war-torn Sierra Leone, and the 42-year-old actress didn't hesitate to breastfeed a baby boy after his mom was unable to. Hayek said her own baby, daughter Valentina, would be very proud of her.

Video after the jump!

Said Hayek of breastfeeding the other woman's child, "I actually think my baby would be very proud to be able to share her milk and when she grows up I will make sure she continues to share and be generous caring person."

Salma actually recalled a similar story about her great-grandmother, who had also helped out a woman in a similar situation.

Hayek explained, "My great-grandmother was in a Mexican village and they found a woman in the street inconsolably crying and the baby was also crying, crying, crying.

"My great-grandmother went up to her and said, 'What is the matter?' and the mother said, 'She is very, very hungry and I have no more milk.'

"And in the street my great-grandmother took the baby and breastfed that baby who instantly stopped crying and went peacefully to sleep.

"It was amazing (to breastfeed another child) because I was really impressed by (my great-grandmother's) story. I'm here in Sierra Leone and I was able to feed a baby that was very hungry."

Amazing! Watch the video:

Salma Hayek Spreads The Breastfeeding Love

Salma Hayek as we know, is very addicted to breastfeeding.

She took a trip to Sierra Leone on a UNICEF fact-finding trip and came across a mother and her child that she had to help. The child was starving and the mother was unable to feed it, Salma picked up the baby and nursed it.

Would you do the same? I'm pretty sure I would.

Salma said, "It's about women sticking together and we really need to help the children in any way we can."

Salma is a UNICEF activist and is fighting to promote breastfeeding in Africa but says that there are still many hurdles to climb in getting the results they are striving for.

She said, "It is the best thing you can do for your child, not only the bonding, that's how you build the immune system, so in a country like Africa imagine how important it is for the mothers to do that. But there is the belief that if you are breastfeeding you cannot have a sexual life, so the husbands of these women are really encouraging them to stop and this is just a taboo."

Whether you breastfeed or not, you've got to admit, it warms the heart to know that there are those that do what they can to help.

Salma Hayek Can't Kick Her Addiction

Sassy Smith — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 20:07:00 GMT

We told you a few months ago about Salma Hayek's addiction. The 42-year-old actress has tried to give "it" up but so far, she's not had any luck. But honestly, she really doesn't want to stop. She's hooked - on what you ask? Well, let me tell you...

....she's crazy about breastfeeding!

The Latin beauty said she feels "like an alcoholic" when breastfeeding her daughter Valentina, now 16 months-old.

Said Hayek, "It is the best thing you can do for your child, not only the bonding, that's how you build the immune system, so in a country like Africa imagine how important it is for the mothers to do that." Salma is a Unicef activist, and she recently breastfed a starving child of a Sierra Leone refugee who wasn't able to express milk.

Salma also says that there's a misconception that breastfeeding moms can't have a sex life. "There is a belief that if you are breastfeeding you cannot have a sexual life, so the husbands of these women are really encouraging them to stop and this is just a taboo."

So, how long do you think she'll breastfeed Valentina? Is there a "right" age to stop?

Ani DiFranco Has a Trick Baby

Karl Erikson — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:37:00 GMT

Singer Ani DiFranco says that her 23-month-old daughter, Petah Lucia, is a "trick baby." What the hell is she talking about?

"She’s really well behaved. We have a ‘trick’ baby, we say, because it makes all of our friends want to have babies. She’s pretty easy going." I'll tell you what, that's not a trick. That's freaking MAGIC, because that's what it'd take to make me have more kids at this point in my life.

Ani, 38, says that Petah and her lover Mike Napolitano helped created her newest album, "Red Letter Year." "This record sounds better because I took a little time with it," Ani says. "I've got my baby and her daddy to thank for that." There's one song in particular she credits Petah with: "Present/Infant."

"It’s about laying eyes on my daughter for the first time and going, ‘Oh no, she looks like me!’ And then going, ‘Oooh, that’s a f-cked-up thing to think.’ And going from there into having to address wholeheartedly my self-loathing before I teach it to her."

Salma Hayek Is An Addict

Sassy Smith — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:05:00 GMT

Salma Hayek is addicted. She can't help herself. She can't stop. She doesn't want to stop. But she's probably like a lot of moms with their first baby....

Salma, 42, is addicted to breastfeeding her daughter, nearly 14-month-old Valentina. The actress told Style Magazine, "I'm like an alcoholic. It is like, I don't care if I cry, I don't care if I am fat, I am just going to do it for one more week, one more month, and then when I see how much good it is doing her and I can't stop.

"The myth that says you lose all this weight when you breastfeed! That is so not true! It's like, please, will everyone stop telling me I look really well."

Were you like that with your baby? How long did you breastfeed? Do you think there's a "right" age to stop or is it an individual thing? What about the mom in the video below - her daughter is almost 8-years-old and she's still being breastfed....perfectly acceptable or creepy?

It's a funny thing when someone steals something that you don't have or have yet to lay claim to.
Eva Mendes told her friend Salma Hayek that she stole her baby name. Valentina Paloma was Eva's baby name of choice. Salma apologized when she found out and asked for her others so she doesn't inadvertently use those too. I think she was trying to get ideas for her next baby.

Is Salma trying to tell us something? Probably not, but it sure is fun to speculate.

Has that ever happened to you? Did someone steal your baby name even though they knew you wanted to use it?

Salma Hayek's Baby Daddy Has Sexy Romp With Other Woman

Wow that was fast. The relationship barely had time to get cold and already Salma Hayek's baby daddy, billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault was seen giving a little mouth to mouth to equestrian Virginie Couperie.

More photos after the jump

Just one month after the Salma and Francois-Henri called off their engagement, money bags Pinault was seen on a sexy holiday romp with his new squeeze.

Pinault and Couperie enjoyed a carefree day on his yacht and made no bones about showing their affection towards one another.

Salma's been seen around L.A. with their daughter, 11-month-old Valentina Paloma and hopefully she's over the guy - seriously, he's mega rich but lacks in sex appeal - well to each his own I guess.

No offense to Ms. Couperie but Salma's way hotter.

Salma Hayek Is A Passionate Mama

trix — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 20:12:00 GMT

Salma is nurturing, maternal and passionate. "Salma has survived many romances. She finds happiness in the ones she loves." Who has all the insight into Salma's parenting skills and inside info on how she loves and lives? It's none other than Phillip Bloch. Who is Phillip Bloch you might ask? I know I did. I looked him up and actually recognized him from his picture, I'm including one of him so you can see if you know him as well.

Phillip is an American fashion stylist (premier fashion stylist to the stars), and a friend of Salma's who had quite a bit to say to OK! magazine about how much she has impressed him as a momma.

Phillip said that Salma was keen to "nest" with her daughter following the birth instead of rushing back to work and that she is coping well with the break up from Francois-Henri Pinault, Valentina's father.

Salma talked a little about marriage and commitment recently and said, "I don't have a need for marriage. You want to grow old with someone, you want to have a partner and to have children - we have all those things. Some people need the commitment. Maybe we'll just have the party!"

Sounds like a great party.

This is Phillip!

Look at those chubby cheeks and legs - isn't she adorable? Salma Hayek's 10-month-old daughter Valentina looks like she's a going concern and mama Salma definitely has her hands full!

More cuteness after the jump!

Hayek has split from Valentina's father, Francois-Henri Pinault. The couple had announced their engagement in the spring and welcomed their daughter in September.

The cause for the breakup seems to be two people with busy careers and not much time to spend nurturing their relationship. It's rumored that they actually split last November but the announcement was just made public a few days ago.

Regardless of when they broke up, hopefully they will remain friendly for the sake of their baby.
