Salma Hayek found herself in a comical situation when she mistakenly believed her husband, François-Henri Pinault, was having an affair with a woman named Elena.
Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the 50-year-old actress shared the humorous tale of how she engaged in some detective work after spotting a suspicious text on her husband's phone.
The couple communicates in a mix of English with "Switzerland language" accents at home. However, this arrangement has led to some teasing, particularly from their nine-year-old daughter, Valentina, who playfully pokes fun at her father's accent. François-Henri decided to take action and expressed his plan to hire a dialect coach to improve his English, but Salma believed he never followed through with it.
Then, one day, while texting someone on her husband's phone, Salma stumbled upon a message from a woman named Elena. Playfully mimicking the "other woman" voice, Salma revealed the message inviting François-Henri to practice English. Although she initially felt a surge of fury, she decided to trust her husband and not say anything about it.
However, curiosity got the better of her, and during a casual meal, she casually asked about Elena. François-Henri denied knowing the woman, leading to a humorous confrontation. Salma insisted that Elena should be informed that she speaks English and could practice with her instead.
The misunderstanding was eventually cleared up when they realized the text came from an app called ELSA, intended for language practice. Despite the mishap, Salma playfully warned the audience not to rely on the app to eliminate accents, as François-Henri's French accent remained quite strong.
In the end, the incident turned into a lighthearted anecdote, showcasing the playful and loving dynamics of Salma Hayek and her husband's relationship.
