Salma Hayek may have celebrated her 15th wedding anniversary with husband François-Henri Pinault this year, but the pair are still madly in love.
The two attended the McDonald's Ligue 1 match between Paris Saint-Germain and Rennes in Paris on September 27, 2024, and Salma was spotted resting her head on Francois-Henri's shoulder as she cuddled with her husband in the chilly weather.

Salma and Francois-Henri met in 1996, at a gala in Venice's Palazzo Grassi, and welcomed their daughter, Valentina, on September 21 2007.

This past year they celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary, and Salma shared a series of gorgeous throwback images to honor the momentous day.

In the first image Salma is looking off-camera in her gorgeous white satin gown, while a second photo is a black and white snap of her two gowns; she wore a $488,000 Balenciaga ball gown for the ceremony, boasting a V-neckline with an embellished bodice and a full skirt, while her evening look was a strapless corset gown with a full, tiered skirt.
The final photo was taken during the couple's vows and shows François-Henri sliding Salma's wedding ring onto her finger.
François-Henri is the chairman and CEO of the French luxury goods company Kering, which owns Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, and more.
However in 2023 Salma revealed that their special day almost didn't take place, as the actress had a "phobia" of marriage.
© Leon Bennett"I didn’t even know I was getting married that day," she told Glamour in 2023. "It was like an intervention. I don't think I ever told this story. They just took me to the court – my parents, my brother, they were all ganging up on me. I had a phobia of the marriage thing."
She added: "A little bit later I said, 'Okay, this is kind of exciting, and [François-Henri's] like, 'Can we have a party now?'"
His comment saw them organize a large two-day ceremony in Venice in April, that saw them wed in the La Fenice Opera House in front of guests including Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Charlize Theron, Anna Wintour, and more
