Salma Hayek recently celebrated a significant milestone in her family by posting heartfelt tributes to her stepson, Augustin “Augie” James Evangelista, as he marked his 18th birthday. The actress, known for her role in Grown Ups, took to Instagram to share a collection of cherished moments featuring Augie over the years.
“Happy 18th birthday, Augie! You’ve officially entered adulthood—at least in Mexico and France,” Hayek humorously remarked in her post, a nod to the fact that Augie is now legally recognized as an adult in those countries. Accompanying her playful caption was an outpouring of affection: “Your gentle heart is like a healing embrace in our lives because you bring warmth and light to everyone around you. Keep spreading laughter and joy. We love you so much.”
In one of the photos, Hayek can be seen joyfully hugging the birthday boy against a breathtaking sunset backdrop while they enjoyed a cruise together. Augie, born in 2006 to Hayek’s husband, François-Henri Pinault, and supermodel Linda Evangelista, has always been an important part of their blended family.
The actress didn’t hold back, sharing several nostalgic images of Augie alongside pictures featuring his siblings—daughter Mathilde and son François—from Pinault’s previous relationship. She also included moments featuring their own daughter, Valentina. Linda Evangelista, Augie’s mother, also chimed in on the celebratory post, commenting, “1️⃣8️⃣ years of love.”
This tribute comes just weeks after Hayek herself celebrated her 58th birthday with a striking photoshoot that showcased her confidence. She treated her followers to a candid “birthday bikini dump,” proving her timeless beauty and incredible figure, with a lighthearted note that none of the images were throwbacks.
As the Hayek-Pinault family continues to flourish, moments like Augie’s birthday serve as a reminder of the bonds that unite them.
