Magic Mike’s Last Dance star Salma Hayek has shared an intimate photo of herself with husband Francois-Henri Pinault – and the sweet tribute has fans' hearts melting.

Salma’s billionaire husband turned 61 on Sunday - and the famed actress-director took the opportunity to make a public declaration of love for the fashion boss on Instagram.

Salma and Francois-Henri appeared together at Cannes - and the Hollywood star later shared an intimate photo from behind the scenes for her husband's birthday

The caption on the pic is just as awwww-inspiring, and gives an insight into the star’s love for her husband “Happy birthday mi amor,” Salma wrote. “You are my sunshine, my warmth, my light, my strength, my joy, my love.”

Fans immediately reacted to the photo and its heart-warming message. “El verdadero amor (True love),” said one follower, while another wrote: “Happy bday Francois, you are a gentleman, she is a queen. Love this couple.”

Others sounded just a little bit jealous of the CEO of French luxury goods company Kering, which famously owns such iconic brands as Gucci and Saint Laurent, who also is worth a whopping $7billion. “Tutorial on how to be him?” read one comment.

The star and Francois-Henri, who share one child together, 15-year-old Valentina, have lived a love story lasting nearly two decades, having first met 17 years ago at a gala in Venice. "It’s such a romantic, amazing story,” Salma once said. 

The Hollywood icon and the fashion boss got engaged in 2007 and tied the knot two years later on Valentine's Day 2009.
