Salma Hayek, the 57-year-old actress of Mexican-American descent, has often acknowledged her mother for her good genetics. Diana Jiménez Medina had two children with Lebanese businessman Sami Hayek Dominguez.

Recently, Salma Hayek celebrated her mother’s birthday by sharing a photo on Instagram with her beloved family. “Happy 80th birthday, Mom, and 77th birthday, Aunt Chara! I love both of you dearly. Mom, each year I celebrate your life with increasing love and gratitude,” Salma wrote.

The images and videos captured the birthday celebrations surrounded by close relatives. They enjoyed festive cakes adorned with lit candles, while Salma warmly embraced and kissed her mother and aunt. Diana Jiménez Medina, the birthday honoree, is a former Spanish opera singer. She and Sami Hayek Dominguez welcomed Salma in 1966, followed by their son in 1975, who bears his father’s name.

Salma Hayek herself is married to French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, with whom she shares a daughter named Valentina. They married in 2009 and are frequently seen together in public.
