Report: Linda Evangelista's Son Fathered by Salma Hayek's Husband

It looks like Salma Hayek's husband has some explaining to do. According to new reports, the actress' husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, is the father of supermodel Linda Evangelista's 4-year-old son.

According to the New York Post, news that the French billionaire fathered the model's child was confirmed yesterday when Evangelista went to Family Court to figure out a child support agreement for her son, Augustin 'Augie' James.

To make matters more complicated, Pinualt, who is the CEO of the $28 billion fashion group that owns Gucci, Bottega Veneta and Yves St. Laurent, also has a 3-year-old daughter, Valencia, with Hayek.

So was the billionaire two-timing his then-girlfriend, now-wife Salma Hayek? Not quite. Though Pinault and Hayek started dating in 2006, it wasn't smooth sailing all the way to their 2009 wedding.

Evangelista and Pinault reportedly conceived their child in early 2006, when the billionaire and Hayek were reportedly on a break.

Evangelista's son was born in October 2006, and she refused to name the father at the time. Meanwhile, Hayek's daughter was born in September 2007.

And it looks like the daddy drama isn't over just yet. An agreement couldn't be reached in this week's hearing, so Evangelista and Pinault are most likely headed for a fall support trial.

Salma Hayek is a Mexican American, and she's naturalized. So, first, she's here legally and naturalized; and didn't break the law (and I would not be surprised if some of you have, and are so insecure about your own illegalities that you must racistly persecute a woman who went through the legal process). Second, her ethnic and national origin and status are irrelevant to that Francois Pinault cheated on her; and if they are relevant, Francois Pinault is part of your racist ilk- cheating on his then girlfriend, now wife because she's Lebanese-Mexican American? How dare he, and that takes chutzpah with him being a Frenchman who is of no American birth himself.
