Salma Hayek and her husband, François-Henri Pinault, have been married since 2009. That's practically a lifetime compared to the average Hollywood relationship. And recently, the Friday actress made a heartfelt post on social media to celebrate her 15th anniversary—including never-before-seen photos of their wedding day.

In 2006, Salma met the French businessman at a gala in Venice, Italy. They welcomed their daughter, Valentina, in 2007. On Valentine's Day in 2009, Salma and François-Henri married in a civil ceremony at a city hall in Paris. They said "I do" in front of family and friends in April in Venice; Valentina served as a flower girl.
Salma posted pictures from her and François-Henri Pinault's wedding day on Instagram.
On April 25, Salma posted a carousel of photos via Instagram in honor of her and François-Henri's 15th wedding anniversary. "There are no words to explain the blessing of finding your soulmate," Salma wrote. "For all of you who found it, never take it for granted. For all of you who haven’t, never give up #tbt to one of the best days of my life."
Fans reacted to the gorgeous pictures in the comments.
The featured photo showed a candid shot of Salma in her wedding dress while a second shot showed two dresses hanging on a rack, and the third image showed Salma and her groom at the altar on their wedding day.
In the comments, Instagram users reacted to the rare photo from their nuptials.
Lindsay Lohan simply shared a string of red heart emojis.
Meanwhile, Jessica Alba declared, "The way he looks at you and you him."
Viola Davis commented, "Perfect!!!❤."
Unfortunately, some comments suggested Salma was a gold digger.
Not all of the comments on Salma's heartfelt post were positive, as some Instagram users suggested she married François-Henri for his money.
One person snarked, "She spelled billionaire wrong."
Another Instagram user wrote, "I wish I had his money ."
Yet another critic commented: " Doesn’t hurt that he’s a billionaire. But of course, she absolutely should be with a billionaire.❤️."
Salma's husband, François-Henri, has a staggering net worth.
François-Henri is a billionaire; the Instagram naysayers aren't wrong about that. As of writing, his net worth is an estimated $26.7 billion, per Forbes. Not only is François-Henri the CEO of a luxury fashion group called Kering, but he is also the president of the holding company, Groupe Artémi.
Previously, Salma addressed speculation that she married for money.
During an interview with Dax Shepard on his podcast Armchair Expert, Salma addressed the gold digger claims.
"When I married him, everybody said, 'Oh, it's arranged marriage. She married him for the money.' I'm like, 'Yeah, whatever, [expletive]. Think what you want,'" the actress said in February 2021. "Fifteen years together, and we are strong in love. And I don't even get offended. I'm like, 'Yeah, whatever.'"
They renewed their vows in 2018.
In August 2018, Salma took to Instagram to reveal that she and her husband renewed their vows. "The summer is coming to an end and my best moment was when my husband surprised me with a vow renewal," she wrote alongside photos from the occasion. "It was not what I would have chosen to wear to my wedding but I was told I was going to the spa! #luckyinlove #wedding."
Clearly, Salma and François-Henri are in it for the long haul!
