However, she also has her very own special nickname for him: “Panchito.” She wrote, “We are blessed to welcome the fourth living generation of Francois’. Although I will call him Panchito. He seems to love it, and I cannot love him more.”Only last week, Hayek’s daughter-in-law, Henckel von Donnersmarck, had also shared photos with her baby boy. This also included snaps of the ‘Frida’ actress lovingly spending time with her grandson. She captioned her post: “My husband (the world’s coolest François) and our son (the world’s cutest François) … our first month as parents.”The posts garnered a lot of love and attention online from fans, friends, and family members who all commented to congratulate the new mother.

Mexican name like yours. You will be the most loving grandmother.”Over the years, the ‘The Eternals’ actress has been quite open about her wishes to have a large family. In 2017, while she was talking to Red Magazine for an interview, she revealed how she always wanted to have a lot of children. She commented, “I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to. My body, as a miracle, had one. The huge blessing I’ve had is that my husband has three other children. So I have four. And they are all so different.”Hayek and Pinault had been together for quite some time, after which they welcomed their daughter in 2007. Two years later, the duo tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony.
