While a lot of Hollywood stars would give anything to have enjoyed the success that Salma Hayek has, the actress has once again admitted that her work does not come first. Salma, who is married to French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault and has a six-year-old daughter, Valentina, says that all the success she has had as an actress would mean nothing if she did not have a happy family to support her.
Hayek was being interviewed by Hello Magazine, when she explained to them, "I wouldn`t have had a fulfilling life if I hadn`t been able to start my own family. Being a good wife and mother is what matters to me most. Nothing gives me greater happiness than seeing the smile on my daughter`s face."
