Salma Hayek Loves Being a Grandma 🥹 You are now a grandmother. How does it feel? I love it. I love— Look at that. I love it. I don't know that it's about being a grandma or just about him. You know, how fantastic he is and how easy he is and how special and how much I connect with him and how much I miss him. How much I miss him. But I do love being a grandma. But it's more about him. And then you get to give him back when he starts to cry. Unfortunately. Don't think I'm happy about that. I know that some grandparents say that. I wish I could just keep him in my house.
