Salma Hayek is stunned to find herself a sex symbol in the US, because growing up in Mexico she was considered “deformed”. The 40-year-old Frida star was deeply unhappy about her looks, because she was regarded the opposite of true beauty.

Pregnant Hayek reveals, “I have had my struggles. I am five foot, two inches and in Mexico it was important to be tall. I grew up in a world where beauty was not only tall, it was white and blonde with blue eyes. And I’m dark, have brown eyes and brown hair and I’m short.

People used to say that the short thing was a deformity. I was really upset about my height.”

Holy boobies batman!

Actress Salma Hayek isn’t wasting any time introducing the world to the father of her unborn child, French businessman, Francois-Henri Pinault. The couple, who shocked many last week with the announcement that they were engaged and had a baby on the way, made a showing when they stepped out for dinner together at Valentino’s in Santa Monica on Saturday, March 10th.

“Salma and Francios haven’t even been dating a year. They were friends for awhile.” Says a source close to the actress and Ugly Betty producer. “The truth is that Salma is 40 years old and really wanted a baby. She’s gotten to the point where she really wanted a baby. Francios treats her amazingly and she knew he would be a good father. Most of her friends barely know him! They’re just really happy for her because this is what she’s wanted. She’s spent years with the wrong guys, but she finally found someone that treats her really well.”

Admittedly Pinault is no Ed Norton, but as the CEO of PPR, the world’s third largest luxury conglomerate (which owns Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent) we can assume the 40-year-old’s maternity wardrobe is gonna be pretty sweet.

Remember I posted those CRAZY pics of Salma earlier? Well she confirms that she is pregnant AND engaged!  And everyone thought she was just chubby…

Double the good news for Salma Hayek: The actress is engaged to businessman boyfriend François-Henri Pinault – and she’s pregnant.

“Businessman, François-Henri Pinault, and his fiancée, Salma Hayek, are happy to announce they are expecting the arrival of their first child,” Hayek’s rep confirmed in a statement Friday.

The news, first reported by New York Daily News columnist Ben Widdicombe, comes just days after a photo of Hayek made the Web rounds prompting speculation that she was expecting.

The pair have kept a relatively low profile since their relationship began – though Hayek, 40, has joined Pinault for occasional public events, including one in October at the festivities surrounding the inauguration of the Pinault Foundation’s Modern Art collection in Venice’s Gritti Palace.

Pinault is the CEO of luxury goods firm PPR, which owns Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as a French department store and national music chain. His father, François, is an avid art collector owning more than 2,500 valuable pieces, including Picassos, Miros and work by contemporary artistst including Damien Hirst.

Hayek has most recently had her hands full on Ugly Betty, both as a guest star and as the executive producer of hit ABC show. Hayek previously dated actor Edward Norton for four years until 2003, before linking up with Josh Lucas, with whom she split in 2004.
