New Book Probes Into Luis Miguel & Salma Hayek's Love Affair

By Michael Lopez

1997 seems like ages ago. Bill Clinton was still President, Titanic was dominating the box office, and a young starlet named Salma Hayek was involved in a hot-and-heavy romance with Luis Miguel. Now, new revelations are popping up about their short-lived love affair thanks to an upcoming tell-all book.

Salma and Luismi made their "official" debut on the red carpet of the Academy Awards that year. She was riding high with recent successes like Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn, while Miguel was raking in cash from his Romances album. But then, the spark fizzled and now we're getting a few clues why.

According to the book, Salma was actually the one who dumped Luis! It is being reported that she wanted to remain in Hollywood and further her film career (which she obviously has done a great job maintaining), while he preferred life in Mexico.

The book claims that Luismi took the breakup hard and that it was quite a while before for the exes become friendly again. But perhaps parenthood has softened the two and now both of them seem to hold no hard feelings toward each other.

"Hoy son amigos," said a source used for the book. "Se encuentran en varios lugares y se saludan como hermanos, pero fue una mala experiencia amorosa que él vivió."

Of course, we can't wait to see what kind of juicy details the book will reveal about Luismi's other past flames, particularly Sofia Vergara and Daisy Fuentes.

Do you think Luismi and Salma made a cute couple? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
