Salma Hayek celebrates her 58th birthday with sizzling swimsuit snaps: 'None of these are throwbacks'

Reflecting on the harrowing experience of that fateful flight, I am deeply moved by the resilience and camaraderie that Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz have shown throughout their friendship. The fact that they could face such a terrifying ordeal together and emerge stronger only serves to underscore the deep bond between them.


On Monday, Salma Hayek marked her 58th birthday by posting a beautiful assortment of swimsuit images on social media.

The actress from “From Dusk Till Dawn,” who recently unexpectedly ran into her pal Gerard Butler, shared the moment on Instagram, offering a peek at her lavish holiday lifestyle to her 28 million followers.

The Hollywood legend flaunted her phenomenal physique in an array of eye-catching two-piece bathing suits and sophisticated one-pieces.

She struck poses reminiscent of high-fashion models, gracing luxurious yachts amidst stunning coastlines.

In her post, Salma titled it, ‘Swimsuit snaps for my birthday, celebrating 58 years with style! By the way, these aren’t old photos.’

During a recent trip to Ibiza, she ran into none other than the renowned actor Gerard Butler, aged 54.

With a bright grin on her face, Frieda Star delightfully captured moments alongside Gerard during an informal alfresco gathering with companions.

“The surprise meetings with friends during a getaway are simply the best, as this post aptly expressed, with Gerard being included in the fun.”

Quickly, Salma moved closer, casually placing an arm on Gerard’s shoulder, as he nonchalantly assumed a captivating stance in a loose, azure linen shirt. This casual gesture infused their spontaneous instant with a relaxed allure.

Following Salma’s radiant appearance, she was seen snuggling with her husband François-Henri at the Kering Women In Motion event during the Cannes Film Festival.

She stunned in a gorgeous caped lilac gown as she posed for snaps with the French businessman. 

In a striking, one-shouldered, light-purple gown adorned with delicate sheer cape accents, Salma captivated everyone’s gaze.

Salma styled her long, dark hair halfway up and halfway down, and chose fashionable, green drop earrings to accessorize.

While François-Henri was elegantly dressed in a black suit and bow tie, he showed affectionate gestures alongside Salma at the event they attended together.

In 2009, this pair tied the knot, and now they’ve made an appearance on the 2024 edition of The Sunday Times Wealth Index, boasting an estimated joint fortune of around $7.7 billion.

In 2023, their wealth was approximately $10.1 billion, but it subsequently dwindled, which resulted in a slide down the ranking from 21st to 37th position on the list.

Since 2005, Francois-Henri Pinault has held the positions of chairman and CEO at Kering. On the other hand, Salma Hayek’s personal wealth is believed to surpass $125 million, primarily due to her prosperous acting career and profitable deals for beauty and fashion endorsements.

Regardless of the recent decline, the couple continues to rank among the most affluent globally, boasting an impact that spans various sectors.

Salma and François-Henri’s love story began in 2006 when they met at a gala in Venice. 

The couple quickly fell for each other and announced their engagement the following year. 

In September 2007, they were blessed with their daughter, Valentina. They got married in a private ceremony on Valentine’s Day of 2009, and later, in April, they held a grand wedding celebration in Venice for the second time.

Prior to encountering Salma, François-Henri was previously wedded to Dorothée Lepère. Together they have two offspring, François and Mathilde.

Apart from that, he was involved in a short-term romance with supermodel Linda Evangelista, and they share a son named Augustin together.

Salma, on the other hand, was romantically linked to actor Edward Norton.

After Salma shared one of her final thoughts before a suspected plane crash with Penelope Cruz, the birthday festivities followed suit.

Over two decades of camaraderie with the illustrious Penelope, aged 50, and I found ourselves in an unexpected predicament as our flight was compelled to perform an emergency landing in Mexico.

Before takeoff, it was apparent that something wasn’t right as one cabin crew quickly exited the cockpit, grabbed an oxygen mask, indicating an unexpected incident to Penelope and her companion.

In an interview with Vogue Arabia, Penelope inquired about any insights Salma gained from her harrowing ordeal.

Salma told her: ‘You’ve always had a fear of flying and you always give me instructions of what to do if you die in a crash!.

On that particular day, we found ourselves sharing a flight, but due to an unexpected emergency, we ended up making an unscheduled landing in a remote part of Mexico.

I had a feeling something would occur since I noticed the flight attendant exiting the cockpit and getting an oxygen tank.

“I grasped your hands and assured you everything would be alright, despite the issue with the aircraft. It was important for you to remain composed. Incidentally, I felt a sense of pride in you as I witnessed your efforts to control your emotions.”

‘We could do a whole movie about this! And then you said something so beautiful that I will never forget. You said, “I thought maybe we were going to die. But we were going to die together. And we were going to be OK”.’
