Salma Hayek is entering a new phase of family life and decided to share it with her followers. The actress posted a tender video in which she appears cradling her newborn grandson in her arms and speaking to him in Spanish, while enjoying her first moments as a grandmother.

The baby is named François, the same name as his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. But Salma already has another name for him: Panchito. In the post she explained that this is how she plans to call him and she shared, with evident tenderness, that the little one seems to like his new nickname.
