The couple have one daughter, Valentina, who was born in 2007. Salma is also step-mum to her husband's three children from his previous marriage.

Salma and François-Henri first met in 2006 and while she said the couple were friends, it took her a while to realise he was the man for her.
However, Salma rarely talks about her relationship, saying in an interview with Town And Country magazine: "It’s such a romantic, amazing story, but it is mine. I don’t want to vulgarize it by making it into a story to make myself interesting."

François-Henri is the son of a fellow French businessman, François Pinault, and took over the reins of his father's company, PPR, in 2005.
He renamed it Kerring Group, which is not a household name - but owns some VERY impressive brands, including Balenciaga, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, and Alexander McQueen
Not content with just one firm François-Henri is also the president at Groupe Artémis, which comes with a raft of assets, including a winery and a theatre.
But heis known for giving millions to good causes, including £80million to help with the restoration of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris after is suffered horrendous damage in a fire last year.
Despite her husband's wealth, Salma herself brings a lot of riches to their partnership.
The savvy actress has made tens of millions not just through her acting roles but also her incredibly successful make-up ranges.
She is was worth a massive £115million BEFORE she tied the knot - but heartbreakingly, she says that doesn't stop people judging her.
Salma said: "A lot of people are very shocked that I married who I married. And some people are even intimidated now by me.
"But it’s another way of showing racism. They can’t believe this Mexican ended up in the life that she has, and they’re uncomfortable around me."
She refuses to let it affect her rock solid marriage and often refers to François-Henri as the "perfect husband".

The Queen has sent a resounding message to Britain ’ s labourers - it ’ s time to get back to work .

She has sought to set an example to the country by calling for a resumption of the major reservicing project after a seven-week halt .
The 10-year taxpayer-funded project to give the Queen ’ s official London residence a facelift and make it fit for the 21st century had to be put largely on hold when Boris Johnson brought in Covid-19 restrictions on March 23 .
Contractors were told not to travel to the palace to work and much of the project was shut down , although @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and planning , were done remotely .
But the renovation and refurbishment work inside the palace has now restarted .
In fact it resumed on May 4 even before Boris Johnson went on television on May 10 and urged construction workers to return to work .
A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said : “ After a temporary suspension , reservicing programme operations have safely restarted at Buckingham Palace .
“ Operations have begun in a phased manner to allow for effective social distancing across the sites .
With the wellbeing of staff and relevant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number of contractors have been permitted on site initially .

The Covid-19 crisis may also have financial implications for the project after forcing officials to abandon the summer opening of Buckingham Palace to tourists and keeping other royal residences , such as Windsor Castle , closed to paying visitors .
That may create a black hole in the royal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the charity that oversees tourism at royal residences , pays a £7 million facility fee to the Royal Household for the privilege of bringing in visitors and a big chunk of it , although not all of it , will be lost .
That fee bolsters the £85.9 million the Queen currently receives from the taxpayer under the Sovereign Grant , which is equivalent to 25 per cent of the Crown Estate profits .
Royal finance expert David McClure , author of the forthcoming book Royal Privilege , said : “ If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Buckingham Palace visitors , then one way or another the taxpayer will have to pay for the shortfall .
“ Many people wrongly believe that the Sovereign Grant is funded by Crown Estates profits but in reality this is just an index mechanism and it is the taxpayer who foots the bill .

Mr McClure said : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Estate profits are likely to be depressed by the impact of Covid on commercial rents which in turn will have a knock-on effect on how much money the Sovereign Grant receives .
In the medium term , the palace may be in for a bumpy financial ride .

Again, you must be within your own household and two metres from other people Return to work Rather than a change to the rules, the government is now encouraging people to return to work if they cannot do so from home. But they also urge people to drive, walk or cycle to work rather than use public transport, if possible
Until the crisis Royal Household officials had prided themselves on sticking rigidly to the Buckingham Palace reservicing timetable but the six-week lay off is likely to now put the project behind schedule.
The Covid-19 crisis may also have financial implications for the project after forcing officials to abandon the summer opening of Buckingham Palace to tourists and keeping other royal residences, such as Windsor Castle, closed to paying visitors.
That may create a black hole in the royal coffers, as the Royal Collection Trust, the charity that oversees tourism at royal residences, pays a £7 million facility fee to the Royal Household for the privilege of bringing in visitors and a big chunk of it, although not all of it, will be lost. That fee bolsters the £85.9 million the Queen currently receives from the taxpayer under the Sovereign Grant, which is equivalent to 25 per cent of the Crown Estate profits.
Royal finance expert David McClure, author of the forthcoming book Royal Privilege, said: “If the Sovereign Grant loses the income from Buckingham Palace visitors, then one way or another the taxpayer will have to pay for the shortfall.
“Many people wrongly believe that the Sovereign Grant is funded by Crown Estates profits but in reality this is just an index mechanism and it is the taxpayer who foots the bill.
The Crown Estate, a £14.3 billion property empire which has surrendered its profits to the Government since 1760, derives half of its income from commercial rents in the West End of London.
Mr McClure said: “In the next year or two Crown Estate profits are likely to be depressed by the impact of Covid on commercial rents which in turn will have a knock-on effect on how much money the Sovereign Grant receives. In the medium term, the palace may be in for a bumpy financial ride.
“Corona is now hitting the Crown financially. In the short term it will lose the revenue from summer palace visitors but in the long term there’s a bigger danger that foreign tourists will simply not return in the same numbers as before.”

thedailymirror--2020-05-15--Ex-Liverpool boss Houllier voices conspiracy theory about early Ligue 1 finish

Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier thinks the decision to end the French top-flight season early is part of a plot against Lyon that will be `` covered up '' by the French state .
Last month Ligue 1 became the most high-profile of the European football leagues to decide to curtail their campaign early in the face of the ongoing coronavirus crisis .
The top-flight leagues in England , Italy and Spain remain determined to keep playing , and Germany 's Bundesliga will become the first major league to resume this weekend .
But Ligue 1 was curtailed in April @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the standings after all but two teams had played 28 rounds of matches used to determine European places .
That left Lyon down in seventh following their below-par campaign , meaning that Les Gones have missed out on European qualification for the first time since 1997 .
Houllier - who managed Lyon between 2005 and 2007 prior to a spell at Aston Vila , and now works as an advisor to Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas - thinks the decision was reached because Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille , in second , worked together @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is an axis between OM and PSG and it hit hard , ” Houllier told OLTV , via Goal.com .
“ There was an alliance made with arrangements between friends and I think above all it was a plot , a plan to eliminate Lyon .
“ It will be covered up because I think the French state is involved .
I followed all the press conferences by [ President ] Emmanuel Macron and [ Prime Minister ] Edouard Philippe , and they never talked about sport .
“ And just by chance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s said that Ligue 1 will not be able to resume .
It was the first time they talked about sports .
I found it a bit weird.
” Houllier added that the season should have been voided completely if it could n't be finished .
“ I found this very unfair , ” he said .
“ A championship does not stop on the third , 19th or 28th day .
We go to the end , otherwise we consider it to be null and void .

The Frenchman also had two years in charge of Lyon between 2005 and 2007, and he thinks his former club were subject to "a plot" to keep them out of the European places
