[sunting]Kehidupan pribadi

Hayek pernah berpacaran dengan rekan aktornya Edward Norton selama empat tahun, antara 1999 dan 2003, dabn kemudian dengan Josh Lucas dari 2003 hingga 2004. Tentang pernikahan Hayek pernah berkata, "Perempuan telah diajarkan bahwa untuk mendapatkan tempat di dunia, sebuah identitas, mereka harus menikah dan mempunyai anak. Bila itulah kehidupan yang sungguh-sungguh Anda harapkan, ya bagus. Tetapi bagi banyak perempuan, pernikahan hanyalah sekadar membutuhkan dunia untuk mengetahui bahwa ada orang yang cukup menginginkan mereka untuk megnatakan, ‘Inilah kontrak yang membuktikan bahwa aku mencintaimu dan akan terikat denganmu seumur hidupku.’ Bagi perempuan-perempuan ini, tidak ada kotnrak sama dengan tidak ada penghargaan – dan karena itu, tidak ada alasan untuk berada.” Saat ini Hayek sendirian dan mempunyai rumah di Los Angeles dan Meksiko.
Hayek kini fasih dalam bahasa InggrisSpanyolArab, dan Portugis.
