Though the couple broke off their engagment in July 2008, actress Salma Hayek ended up marrying French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault in Paris on Valentine's Day, various French reports confirm.

According to the French magazine Le Point, an anonymous official at the City Hall in Paris' 6th arrondissement said that Hayek married Pinault in a civil ceremony on Saturday. Mayor Jean-Pierre Lecoq subsequently confirmed the report when he spoke to the Agence France-Presse.

Though it was known that the couple had seperated last summer, there have been recent reports that the newlyweds, who have a daughter together (Valentina Paloma Pinault, born in September 2007), had reunited.

Hayek is best known for her 2003 Academy-Award nominated role in 'Frida,' which she also produced. She also recently made national news for visiting poverty-sticken Sierra Leone and breastfeeding a hungry child.

Pinault, meanwhile, is the chief executive of the French luxury group PPR. He has two kids from a previous marriage.
