Salma Hayek's family legacy extends beyond her children and husband François-Henri Pinault, as evidenced by her latest throwback shot in tribute to her father-in-law, François Pinault.
The French billionaire magnate turns 86 today, August 21, and the actress, 56, shared a sweet memory of theirs together, presumably from a party in an ornate home, alongside a birthday wish.
"Happy birthday to the man who raised the love of my life," she wrote. "Your wisdom, kindness, and warmth have been a guiding light in our lives. Cheers to laughter, love, and many more cherished moments together."
Fans responded to the post in the comments section with birthday wishes of their own, and others left comments like: "How wonderful it is to have an appreciative and caring relationship with in-laws," and: "I love every single detail about this picture," as well as: "Such a beautiful picture and such beautiful dedicating words."
François Pinault made his first foray into business with Pinault SA, a wood-trading company founded in 1963, which grew exponentially over the decades as it began purchasing several retail store chains and department stores.

By the end of the '90s, the company began buying stake in luxury brands like Gucci, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, and Boucheron.

On Valentine's Day 2009, the two tied the knot in Paris and renewed their wedding vows later that year in Venice. Salma got candid in an interview with Glamour this February about her changing opinion on marriage.

And he didn't go away when I didn't show up, he had to stick around until we got it done. And I was terrified."
