Salma Hayek’s little girl is all grown up!
Hayek, 59, shared a rare look at her daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, via Instagram on Tuesday, September 23. The teenager, who turned 18 on Sunday, September 21, was the focus of a carousel that celebrated Valentina’s recent birthday.
“We ate, we danced, we laughed, we loved … and we kept the party going all weekend. Happy birthday mi cielo, celebrating you never feels long enough 
,” the Frida star captioned her post.
In the carousel, Valentina, who is the daughter of Hayek and her husband, French businessman François-Henri Pinault, was seen posing alongside her mom and dad, 63, at an evening event inside a lavish dining room. (Hayek and François-Henri married in 2009 after dating for three years.)

Another sweet video showed Hayek and François-Henri each kissing the top of their daughter’s head.
While Valentina is Hayek’s only child, François-Henri is also father to three other children: a son, François, born in 1998, and a daughter, Mathilde, born in 2001, whom he shares with ex-wife Dorothée Lepère, as well as son Augustin Evangelista, 18, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Linda Evangelista.

Hayek rang in her 59th birthday aboard a luxurious yacht on September 2, sharing an Instagram post that captured her holding a cocktail while dressed in a skimpy red bikini. “59 trips around the sun and still dancing 
,” Hayek captioned it at the time. “Cheers to all of you & thank you for the love 
.”
Hayek looked as beautiful as ever, rocking a pair of oval framed sunglasses and letting her beachy waves hang free as she celebrated in style.
