Elias Hayek’s maternal family name is Labahi. He was the son of Amado Hayek and Aurora Labahi. Elias was born in Mexico City, not Baabda. Amado and Aurora were Lebanese immigrants, from Baabda, Mount Lebanon.
Adela was the daughter of Nayib Hid (later Narciso Domínguez) and Nesnefer (later Isabel) Marún. Narciso and Isabel were also Lebanese immigrants.

Those aren’t reliable sources.
That is a lie made by a forum of black women that hate and drag beautiful Mexican women
How can she be of creole descent?
The louisina’s creoles settled in Veracruz, yes
Just one problem
Salma has no ancestry from Veracruz whatsoever
Her family and herself are indeed from Veracruz, yes, but her father is full lebanese in ancestry
her mother’s family immigrated to Veracruz from OAXACA
Salma’s Mexican roots come from Oaxaca
lipstickalley can stop claiming her
