Salma Hayek’s family has continued to grow with the addition of her first grandchild.
The Mexican actress and director introduced her grandson, François — whom she calls “Panchito” — in August 2026, sharing a sweet Instagram video of her speaking to him in Spanish.
His father, François Jr., is the eldest of Salma’s husband François-Henri Pinault’s three children from previous relationships. In addition to François Jr., the Grown Ups star is stepmom to Mathilde and Augustin James. Salma also shares a daughter, Valentina Paloma, with François-Henri, whom she welcomed in 2007.
“I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to,” she told Red magazine in May 2017 about her blended family. “My body, as a miracle, had one. The huge blessing I’ve had is that my husband has three other children. So I have four. And they are all so different.”
Below, see 10 photos of Salma Hayek with her family over the years.
