Hayek has said that people are surprised about who she married. She explained that people are intimidated by her, and it is a form of racism as they cannot believe that she, a Mexican, ended up with the life she has.

Hayek's Instagram post showed the loved up couple wearing sunglasses and Hayek kissing her husband on the cheek. The caption was just a hashtag:

Although married to an extremely wealthy businessman, Hayek shared that she wanted to stay financially independent from her husband after he proposed.

She explained to Allure that she had chosen a lifestyle in which she is responsible for the financial obligations she had before the marriage. She shared it was the reason Pinault had wanted to marry her:

"I have a system in my life that I’ve chosen, where my expenses from before the marriage are my expenses. And he goes, ‘I know. That’s why I want to marry you."
