Oh baby! Newly single Salma Hayek shows off her bundle of joy

Updated 17:19pm on 1 Aug 2008



Just two weeks after calling off her engagement, Salma Hayek is a picture of health as she steps out with her 10-month-old daughter.

The Oscar-winning actress and her lookalike baby girl Valentina enjoyed a day out shopping in Beverly Hills, California, yesterday.

Last month, the 41-year-old announced she had called off her engagement to French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, Valentina's father.

Miss Hayek has been living for most of the past year in Los Angeles, with her daughter, while Mr Pinault lived some 5,700 miles away in Paris, France.


The 45-year-old businessman owns Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, among numerous other luxury brands.

He is known for working regular 12 hour days, putting his all into his family  businesses.

Miss Hayek and Mr Pinault met in Venice in May 2006, and, a year later, announced they were getting married and having a child together.

Valentina, Miss Hayek’s first child, was born last year in LA. She was a third child for Mr Pinault, who has two children from a marriage which ended in  2004.

Miss Hayek admitted in April that the couple’s constant commuting between Los Angeles and Paris was odd, saying: 'To most women it's crazy. But every relationship is unique.'

Despite not being officially married, Miss Hayek is now expected to benefit from a multi-million pound settlement from Mr Pinault.
