Actress Salma Hayek, 41, has given birth to her first child, a little girl named Valentina Paloma Pinault, a rep for the actress has confirmed. “Mother and child are doing well,” publicist Cari Ross told the Associated Press. According to an Us source, the actress' mother Diana Jimenez Hayek, brother Sami Hayek and fiance Francois-Henri Pinault were all there for the delivery. The source tells Us that Hayek has had the baby's name picked out since she was six months pregnant. "She told everyone she loved Valentina because it strong and romantic," says the source. Hayek's mother will be staying with her for the next month to take care of the baby at her Bel Air home. The Ugly Betty producer announced her pregnancy, along with her engagement to the father of her daughter, Francois-Henri Pinault, in March. Businessman Pinault is the CEO of PPR, which owns Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, the French department store Printemps, catalog giant La Redoute and the music-bookstore chain FNAC. Hayek hosted her own baby shower at the end of August at her home in the Hollywood Hills. Guest Pia Lindstrom told Us at the time, “She was full of pregnancy glow and looked so happy.” New mother Hayek has said, “Motherhood is not for everyone. It is for me.” Congrats to the happy family!
Valentina is a beautiful name for a girl (but yeah, why would Hayek want her own brother at the delivery? that's unusual...)
