Salma Hayek’s Baby Arrives - Her Name Is Valentina
Valentina is a good strong name. It comes from Latin roots, meaning “strong” or “vigorous”. And in 1963, the Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman into space.
And now we have another famous Valentina, about a day old, who is already more famous than the first woman into space.
Valentina Paloma Pinault, the daughter of Salma Hayek, 41, and fiance Henri-Francois Pinault, 45, was born either late Thursday or early Friday, according to People.
No surprise that the baby is a girl. Back in June, discussing the possible gender of Salma Hayek’s baby, and based on the preponderance of pink in the layette she was purchasing at Bel-Bambini, I shrewdly guessed that a girl was on the way.
The baby is the first for Hayek. Pinault has two children from a previous marriage, which ended in divorce in 2004. He is the CEO of a family-based business that owns Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, among other properties.
The rumor mill says wedding bells may be ringing in December.

Salma Hayek, who is expecting her first child later this year with fiance and business tycoon Francois-Henri Pinault, was spotted earlier today out shopping with Mom — and loading up on a pink-themed layette.
