The pair decided to focus on the solution to the problem rather than pointing fingers at each other and playing the blame game. Due to their strategy, the couple has never said anything nasty to each other or harbored resentments.

The movie star and Pinault got married on Valentine's Day in 2009 in a lovely ceremony in Paris. The couple shares their 13-year-old daughter, Valentina, while Pinault also has three children from his previous relationships.

Hayek revealed that they try to be involved in each other's lives as much as they can and also take their duty seriously as parents to their teenage daughter Valentina.
