Salma Hayek marked her 15th anniversary by sharing cherished memories from her wedding day on Instagram.

The Hollywood star took to social media to commemorate this milestone event with her followers, posting a series of beautiful photographs that captured the essence of the special day she tied the knot with her long-time partner, Francois-Henri Pinault.

The Frida actress married the French businessman in a grand wedding in 2009, a few years after he stepped into the shoes of a CEO at the age of 40.

Francois-Henri had taken over the role of CEO of Kering, which today owns brands like Gucci, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen and others, from his father in 2005. He is also the owner and founder of a holding company called Artemis S.A. and has several other businesses as well.

Salma and Francois-Henri officially became husband and wife at a courthouse in Paris on Valentine’s Day in 2009 and then exchanged wedding vows in front of family and friends at a grand ceremony in April the same year. They are also parents to Salma’s first and only child, 16-year-old Valentina, who was born in 2007.

Celebrating a decade and a half of being blissfully married to her husband, the actress born in Mexico described her husband as her “soulmate” and called her wedding day “one of the best days” of her life.

“There are no words to explain the blessing of finding your soulmate. 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,” she said in the caption.

Fans and celebrities paused their scrolling to shower the couple with some love after seeing Salma’s carousel of photos.

“I am ashamed to admit how many times he had to ask me. Three times! That was the biggest fear I’ve ever overcome,” she told the Times of India in 2015.

She went on to call her husband and the father of her daughter the love of her life.

“I’m married to the love of my life,” she told the outlet. “He is an amazing man, self-confident and feminist, who likes strong women and also knows how to take care of them. There are a lot of strong women with power and determination that when we got home we like to have someone to look after us and take over the reins.”
