Salma HayekSalma Hayek has revealed that she had hoped she would have a baby boy when she was pregnant last year.

Salma gave birth to daughter Valentina Paloma Pinault in September last year and she told Glamour magazine recently: “I have something to confess, I wanted a boy. Probably because I was afraid. I think women suffer a bit more than boys, and there is always conflict between mothers and daughters.”

“But now that she’s here, I’m so happy she’s a girl. And I can’t imagine there ever being conflict between us, because I’m in a state of innocence where I love everything she does.”
