Salma Hayek has been married to French businessman François-Henri Pinault since 2009, and as he celebrated his 62nd birthday, the actress was sure to share her love on Instagram.

Sharing a number of photos of the couple together, Salma wrote: "God bless the day you were born mi amor. Thank you for the endless love and laughter you bring me each day", before signing off the post: "Happy birthday my king".

Salma shared photos of herself with her husband at the Cannes Film Festival, where they wore opulent clothes for the red carpet. She rested her head against his as she wore a caped lilac gown while he looked dapper in a black tuxedo. 

Another photo saw them posing at the Women In Motion Cannes event, as she looked deep in conversation with her husband while they both smiled.

"I married the right guy. That is probably the most important thing. We support each other in everything we do", she said in 2017. "We want the other one to strive. [It] makes you happy when the other one strives."

She said that the secret to their happy marriage was:  "We've never said anything nasty to each other. No resentment."
