Salma Hayek is experiencing mixed emotions as her daughter Valentina Paloma Pinault celebrated her 17th birthday on Saturday. In a latest Instagram post, the actress shared adorable memories from Valentina’s childhood while also expressing her sadness about the impending reality of her daughter leaving home.
Hayek Shared Special Moments From Valentina’s Childhood
Hayek posted some pictures and clips of Valentina growing up, showing special moments from her early childhood through her teenage years. One clip captured Valentina in the backseat of a car with playful cat-like face paint, while another showcased her wearing a whimsical red hat and goggles.
However, her caption of the post really touched her fans, “My baby’s last birthday at home (for now),” hinting that Valentina will soon be moving out. The actress expressed that she’s already feeling “separation anxiety.”
“She makes me laugh all day, teaches me so many things, keeps me motivated, and inspires me in so many ways. She makes me want to dance, sing, and cook and makes life so exciting. I love you sooooooooo much, mi Vale,” Hayek noted.
Valentina Leaving Home Is Challenging For Hayek
