Salma Hayek recently revealed that she is currently not interested in taking on another TV show due to her strong focus on spending quality time with her daughter Valentina and her husband François-Henri Pinault. During a conversation on Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, the 56-year-old actress addressed the possibility of appearing in HBO’s series, The White Lotus.

The Academy Award nominee previously worked with Mike White on the 2017 comedy, Beatriz at Dinner, and had a fantastic experience. However, she now finds it challenging to commit to a TV series due to her dedication to her 15-year-old daughter Valentina and her responsibilities at home, including taking care of their dogs.
Salma emphasized that she can’t easily leave for extended periods for work, wanting to be present for her family. She noted that she values the time spent with her daughter and cannot just say goodbye for several months to take on a TV series.

Valentina, Salma’s only daughter with François-Henri Pinault, has already made her mark by appearing on the cover of Vogue Mexico. In an interview conducted in Spanish, Salma discussed her late motherhood journey and expressed her support for Valentina if she chooses to follow her mother’s footsteps in Hollywood.
Valentina, like her mother, is passionate about acting and dreams of becoming both an actress and a director. However, she also places importance on helping others and has been actively involved in volunteering at a soup kitchen.
The mother-daughter duo not only shares a love for the entertainment industry but also fashion. Valentina often borrows clothes from Salma’s designer-filled closet, thanks to her father’s company, which owns several luxury fashion brands.
