Actress Salma Hayek says her daughter Valentina came into her life as her greatest teacher and joy. Hayek marked her daughter's 13th birthday by sharing a photo of herself along with Valentina as a baby on Instagram.

"Valentina, I never wished for someone to exist as much as I wished for you to come into my life. Thank you for showing up thirteen years ago on a day like today, "Peace Day", to illuminate our lives. You are my greatest teacher, my greatest joy and my greatest hope. I loved you before you were born and I'll love you forever. Happy birthday, my shining star," Salma wrote.
