Salma Hayek Details “Close” Bond With Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ Kids (Exclusive)
Just call her tía Salma Hayek.
Because that’s what the Desperado star said she’s known as to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds‘ four kids: James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 2.
Explaining how she’s been friends with the couple for “a very long time,” Salma exclusively told E! News at the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party May 15, “I’m close to the kids.”
“I got a chance to go play with them,” she continued. “They got to see the tía Salma.”
In fact, the 58-year-old said Blake and Ryan’s children can even “speak some Spanish,” her native tongue.
“Especially a little one,” Salma noted. “They understand Spanish, and they’re lovely.”
Indeed, the actress’ friendship with the family goes way back. She worked with Blake on 2012’s Savages, before costarring with Ryan in 2017’s The Hitman’s Bodyguard and its 2021 sequel The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.
