Salma Hayek is embracing a brand new way of living – in Paris!
The actress, who celebrated her milestone 60th birthday earlier this month, and her husband François-Henri Pinault have maintained many residences around the world over the years, from the Hollywood Hills to London to Mexico.

Salma explained that she felt "quite excited" about being in her 60s and embracing a brand new decade of life. "I feel young. I'm sorry — no, no, no, I'm not gonna apologize," she continued.
"It is good for me to be at this age. I am at my best today. The funny contradiction is that, as women, as we get older, we have more things to say and we can say them more clearly. Yet we have less opportunities to say them. Makes no sense."
When reflecting on motherhood as an "empty nester" as well, she added: "I'm excited to learn how to be there for my kids in this new era of their life, which means I have to relearn everything again."
Salma and François-Henri share one daughter, 18-year-old Valentina, and through her husband, she is also a stepmom to François Pinault Jr., 38, Mathilde, 25, and Augustin, 19. Recently, François Jr. welcomed his first child, a son also named François, making Salma a first-time grandmother.

"I am loving my life in Paris right now. I am in a new house, and my oldest daughter comes by every day. I'm enjoying her as an adult living in the same city. She has her own apartment."

"It's just a whole new life for me," she continued. "The kids are out of the house; I'm an empty nester." She even joked about getting Angelina to move there with her, now that she's moving out of Los Angeles. "I almost convinced you to move to Paris for a minute. You considered. I'm like, 'Come on, girl, you can't leave me alone there.' You want somewhere more wild."
