Salma Hayek's 17-Year-Old Daughter Valentina 'Had No Idea' What the 'Sports Illustrated Swimsuit' Cover Was
Salma Hayek Pinault was named the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model
The 58-year-old said her 17-year-old daughter, Valentina Pinault, wasn't aware of the historic honor prior to her receiving it
Salma shared that she grew up looking at the issue but never dreamed she'd be on the coverSalma Hayek Pinault is going to have a hard time impressing her 17-year-old daughter. Valentina Paloma Pinault, with her newly announced Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
The 58-year-old actress was recently announced as the new cover star of the highly coveted issue, but admitted on the Today show that her daughter, whom she shares with husband François-Henri Pinault, is not clued into the honor.
'My daughter had no idea what this cover was,' Salma shared on Today. 'You know, it's another generation.'
Despite her daughter not being invested in this historic moment, Salma shared that she grew up admiring the famed covers.
'I still can't believe it,' she said of the accomplishment. 'I remember when I was young and hot, I used to look at this magazine. I wanted to see who was the new gorgeous model, the new girl of the moment.'
However, Salma said it 'never crossed my mind' that she could be the swimsuit model.
'Because they didn't look like me,' she explained. 'My body's not necessarily the model type. I just never thought it was a possibility. And for it to happen when I'm 58, it's really shocking.'

Back in April, Salma gushed about Valentina to PEOPLE, sharing that the teen is well-versed in beauty products.
'That one knows everything," she said. 'She knows products that you cannot even imagine that it exists. I'm like, 'What is that?' And she's like, 'Oh, it's a this for the ... whatever.' So I can't teach her anything. She's the expert."
The Magic Mike's Last Dance star is currently preparing for her daughter to leave the nest. She mourned Valentina's final birthday at home back in September 2024, writing an emotional tribute at the time.
'My baby last birthday at home (for now) Im already having separation anxiety she makes me laugh all day, teaches me so many things, keeps me motivated, inspires in so many ways makes me want to dance sing and cook and makes life so exciting I love you sooooooooo much mi Vale 💋🙏♥️' she wrote on Instagram at the time.

‘NYT Mini' Hints For Sunday, June 22: Extra Clues And Answers For Today's Game
Answers for today's NYT Mini Crossword are just ahead. Before we get to today's NYT Mini crossword hints, clues and answers, here are Saturday's: Wondering what man's name fittingly has the same two vowels as BOAT? Not sure what mammal cracks open sea urchins with rocks? Don't worry, because I'm here to help you with extra hints and the answers for today's NYT Mini crossword. The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays. Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives. Here are extra hints and the official NYT Mini Crossword clues and answers for Sunday, June 22: Spoilers lie ahead, so remember to scroll slowly: NYT Mini Crossword Hints 1 Across: The Pitt actor Wyle 5 Across: Overindulge at a bar, perhaps 6 Across: Aquatic mammal and a useful transcription service 7 Across: Identifying mark on livestock 8 Across: ____ in i.e. decides to participate 1 Down: Button that makes cars go Fast and Furious? 2 Down: Draught at a bar 3 Down: Bond is a secret one 4 Down: Rounds up a group 5 Down: Marley, Barker or Saget NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers 1 Across: Man's name with the same two vowels as BOAT, fittingly – NOAH 5 Across: Watch in one sitting, as a TV series – BINGE 6 Across: Mammal that cracks open sea urchins with rocks – OTTER 7 Across: Publicist's concern – BRAND 8 Across: Chooses, with "for" – OPTS 1 Down: Like some cold brew coffee – NITRO 2 Down: How beer may be served – ON TAP 3 Down: One helping to seal the deal – AGENT 4 Down: Groups of buffalo – HERDS 5 Down: ___ the Drag Queen, RuPaul's Drag Race winner who competed on The Traitors – BOB Completed New York Times Mini crossword for Sunday, June 22. It took me 1:12 to complete today's NYT Mini. A slightly tough one, today, I thought, so I was pretty happy with my time. BINGE was the only Across answer I got on my first pass. NOAH didn't click at all at first and OTTER was on the tip of my tongue, but I decided to move on. I thought 7 Across might have been 'buzz' or 'client' but neither of those were five letters. I'm very glad I got AGENT, HERDS and BOB, because I would have been stumped otherwise. The letters they filled in helped me get NOAH and OTTER, and it was easy to fill in NITRO and ON TAP after those. I'll see you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun! Make sure to follow my blog for more coverage of the NYT Mini and other word games, as well as video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot!
