Salma Hayek Ends Engagement to Super Rich Dude

Salma Hayek has called off her engagement to super ultra gazillionaire Francois-Henri Pinault (the CEO of Gucci), her rep said today.

“We are sad to announce the engagement of Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault has been canceled,” publicist Cari Ross said in a statement. “There will be no further comment.”

The couple have a child together, daughter Valentina Paloma Pinault.

Salma probably realized she doesn’t need to marry the dude. Little Valentina will keep her rolling in Pinault dough for the rest of her life!

  • of course. it’s way trendy now to marry, divorce.. and/or never marry, but to be engaged and then opt out. beacause marrige is soooo “quaint” is it not? i mean, finally the gays can marry and they know the signifigance of vows, however straights run from “dopey, silly” piece of paper like it’s a plague from hell.

  • Uhmm sorry to bust your bubble beet but Salma comes from money her dad is an oil company executive and her mom was an opera singer and talent scout she was raised in a wealthy family,she will be fine you either way.

  • Plus she has all the Ugly Betty money. That aside, what was interesting about this statement is there is none of the “we look forward to raising our precious darling together” There have been a few blind item about an actress, a billionaire and a model would inconveniently got knocked up for a monthy check for the next 18 years. It could be this is why Salma kicked him loose. I know she was planning to move the Ugly Betty show to NYC to be able to commute to Paris more easily. Guess that’s not going to happen now.

    She’s a very strong woman, and she’s going to be just fine. Or she will sue the shit out of him.

  • this is weird. they just like popped up together when we found out she was pregnant and now the baby’s born and they break up? interesting. i agree with you, beet. no matter how much money a person’s family has or the amount of money an individual earned throughout his lifetime, having a rich billionaire baby daddy on the side is always spectacular.

  • Take one look at the picture and you can see why they broke up.

    She must have finally taken the money goggles off her face and realized Howdy Doody was the father of her child.

  • I totally agree with what jemms says. It’s ironic isn’t it? gays are in a rush to get “married” while for some in the heterosexual population that “piece of paper” is the bubonic plague. Go figure!

  • Isn’t he also Linda Evangelista’s babydaddy? I wonder if the 2 mommies will have play dates in the future.
