Salma Hayek Becomes a Grandma as Stepson François Pinault Jr. Welcomes Baby With Wife Lara

Salma Hayek Pinault is stepping in as a grown-up to a new little one.

The Frida actress announced that she and husband François-Henri Pinault have become grandparents after his son François Jr. and his wife Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck welcomed a baby boy in July.

"We are blessed to welcome the fourth living generation of Francois," Salma captioned an adorable Aug. 16 video of her getting her grandson to giggle while speaking Spanish. "Although I will call him Panchito. He seems to love it."

Indeed, the sweet pet name meaning "little Frank" stems from the Latin name Pancho, a traditional nickname referring to someone named Francisco. 

And Salma is already taken by the newborn, writing, "I cannot love him more."

The tiny addition joins Salma's blended family, which also includes her daughter Valentina Pinault, 18, and her stepchildren Mathilde Pinault, 25, and Augustin Evangelista, 19, from François-Henri's previous relationships with exes Dorothée Lepère and Linda Evangelista, respectively.

And with welcoming the newest addition to their family, daughter-in-law Lara shared that it made for a memorable month. In the round-up of precious family moments, Lara featured a snap of Salma cradling her bundle of joy.

"My husband (the world’s coolest François)," Lara quipped alongside the Aug. 12 Instagram slideshow, "and our son (the world’s cutest François)."

And for Salma, whether it's stepping into the role of grandma or embracing life as a mom, being the family matriarch has special meaning for the Grown Ups actress, who has cherished watching her daughter Valentina grow up over the years.

"You are so artistic," Salma told her youngest during a joint appearance on Carversations Aug. 4. "It’s been lovely to see you grow and change and investigate yourself and rediscover yourself through the years."
