Mathilde Pinault, already a fan of competition, did not leave empty-handed Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping (show jumping competition) this Sunday, June 26 at the Champ de Mars in Paris. She won the award Saint Laurent Eiffel Challenge at the end of this stage, which is part of the Longines Global Champions Tour, a five-star show jumping circuit, the highest level of competition. Something to make his father proud, who is none other than the famous François-Henri Pinault, president of the Kering group, which notably owns the great luxury brand Yves Saint Laurent.
This 60-year-old businessman is never far from his daughter Mathilde, born in 2001 from his union with Dorothée Lepère, about four years after the birth of their first child François. In September 2021, their complicity had not escaped anyone during the parade of the Saint Laurent house, while the native of Rennes was just recovering from the death of his half-sister Florence. They had then spent a privileged moment side by side, smiling.
Inseparable duo?
More recently, in March 2022, it was at Fashion Week that they shared a moment together. Which is not very surprising since Mathilde, between horse riding and her business studies, is also an ambassador for the Olgana shoe brand. An event that they did not spend only two since François-Henri Pinault was also accompanied by his companion: the Mexican actress and producer Salma Hayek.
He married her in 2009, two years after the birth of their first child together: Valentina Paloma. They renewed their wedding vows in 2018 and seem happier than ever since. Note that the president of Artémis is also the father of a fourth child, born in 2006 from his relationship with the Canadian supermodel Linda Evangelista. Father of a beautiful siblings and therefore, and especially of a horse riding champion… What to make him extremely proud!
