Salma Hayek looks gorgeous on the cover of InStyle magazine.
Salma talks about her daughter Valentina being so grown up at 4 and how her husband is so romantic.
A Valentina story: "This morning I was feeling jet-lagged. I was still in bed when I heard somebody run into the room. Valentina jumped on my bed and hugged me, and I go, 'What are you doing? You scared me!' She started giggling and said to me, 'You desperately needed my energy.' I was so surprised she said that. A 4-year-old! And she's holding me, and it's so beautiful—and she was so right!"
Valentina is a good traveler: "We're lucky because she loves traveling. For her it's second nature. If I put her in a school in Spain because I'm doing a movie there, she's excited about this new experience with other kids and the teachers. And when she leaves, she does so with no sorrow. She remembers them and talks about them and loves them, but she doesn't have the anxiety or sadness — none of that."
Salma says she enjoys decompressing in the evenings by reading things like Dr. Seuss books to Valentina: "My daughter comes up with her own songs and rhymes as well. "She always makes me laugh."
On maintaining balance: "I have created a very happy, healthy environment. When a job is over, I go home to my life."
On her husband: "He's very romantic, and so am I. What's really romantic are the moments that are unexpected. You can fly somewhere overnight to make being together 'important,' but it's the little things of everyday life that count."
