Supermodel Linda Evangelista conceived her son with Salma Hayek's husband, the New York Post reports. According to the paper, the Manhattan magistrate's court action confirms that French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault is the father of Evangelista's 4-year-old son, Augustin James. Pinault, 49, and Hayek, 44, welcomed daughter Valentina Paloma Pinault in September 2007. The duo later wed on Valentine's Day 2009 in Paris. Pinault has two other children from a previous marriage.
The New York Post claims that Evangelista and Pinault conceived their son in early 2006, when Pinault was separated from Hayek. The actress and Pinault broke up again in July 2008 but ultimately reconciled. Hayek appeared a little stressed today as she and Pinault went shopping in Los Angeles together as the news broke. Wearing a white vest top and cream trousers, she looked anything but relaxed, although Pinault looked like he was putting a brave face on things, smiling as he accompanied his wife.
Today's revelation comes after years of Evangelista remaining guarded over the paternity of her son. When the supermodel's representatives were approached by the New York Post back in 2007, they denied claims that Pinault, who also has two children from his first marriage, was the father of Augustin. Evangelista also said in various interviews that Augustin's father was a 'New York architect'.
