Salma and Edward were one of the hottest couples

Selma Hayek and Edward Norton were reportedly set up by a chiropractor in 1999 (via Zimbio) and attended dozens of red carpet events together despite keeping their relationship low-key. “We did thousands of things and nobody knows,” Hayek told the Independent more than a decade later. “Most of what is written about me isn’t true.”

Norton starred and co-produced Hayek’s passion project “Frida” in 2002 (via AllVipp), a year before they broke up. Not much is known as to why they split, but like Hayek’s relationship with Atterton, it seemed they ended it on good terms. Norton was even a guest at Hayek’s wedding to François-Henri Pinault (via CBS News), who she started dating in 2006 (via Ranker). Prior to Pinault, she dated Josh Lucas in 2003. A year after they broke up, Lucas told People, “We’re not still together. I don’t really want to talk about it more than that.” He would later elaborate about what made their relationship fail, and it was mainly due to conflicting work schedules. “If both people are working [in this business], it’s a problem,” he told GQ. “In the case of Salma and I, she was in South Africa doing a movie and I was in Australia making ‘Stealth’, and with the time that we spent apart, invariably we broke up.”

After that relationship failed, it took some time before Selma Hayek found “the perfect man,” as she described to Allure in 2015. “I wish I knew [when I was younger] that I was going to fall crazy in love with the perfect man,” the actress explained, saying that while she dated “some pretty good guys” she also started seeing “wonderful things in, like, the wrong guys.”

This man was François-Henri Pinault, the CEO of Kering (via Town & Country), a French luxury goods company that owns brands like Gucci, Balenciaga, and Saint Laurent. The couple got engaged in 2007 and shortly after welcomed their daughter Valentina into the world (via Goalcast). Hayek and Pinault eventually tied the knot in 2009, and their marital bond has remained strong. “He’s made me become a much better person,” Hayak confessed during an appearance on the “Armchair Expert” podcast (via People). The actress revealed that people thought they had an “arranged marriage” and that she’d “married him for the money”. To that, Hayek said people can “think what [they] want,” adding, “Fifteen years together, and we are strong in love. And I don’t even get offended; I’m like, ‘Yeah, whatever.”
