Evangelista, 46, gave birth to her son in 2006, Augustin James, she refused to name the biological father at that time which of course sparked Hollywood rumors. Today, the shocking news came about that the daddy of her son is Salma Hayek’s husband, Francois Henri Pinault. It doesn’t necessary mean he cheated on Salma since the boy was born over a year before his daughter with Salma. Salma and Francois also went on-and-off for a while so at this point we’re not sure if indeed he had cheated on Salma. One thing we are very certain is with a lot of money in his pocket, he gets the hot girls! We hope Salma is ok with this revelation.

Evangelista was born in Ontario, Canada, to working-class Italian parents, she was raised as a Roman Catholic in St. Catharines, Ontario. Linda wanted to become a model when she was only 12. She was discovered by a talent agent at the 1978 Miss Teen Niagara beauty pageant and from then on she started her modeling career.

Evangelista has been featured on over 600 magazine covers!

Her last serious relationship was with Peter Morton, who’s almost 2 decades older than her; Morton is the founder of the Hard Rock Cafe group. They broke up in the summer of 2010.

We sure hope the news of Francois being the dad is of no surprise to his wife Salma.

Born: May 10, 1965

It has been confirmed that Salma’s hubby is the mysterious father of Linda’s 4-year old son, Augustin James. Linda gave birth to him in October 2006, but stubbornly refused to reveal who his father was… until now.

Salma and Francois welcomed their own child, Valentina Paloma Pinault, about a year after Linda’s son was born. The couple got married two years later, on Valentine’s Day.

Although the situation reeks of infidelity, reports claim that Linda’s son was in fact conceived in early 2006, when Salma and Francois were separated.

So yeah, Salma’s rich French hubby didn’t cheat on her. Whoop-dee-doo. We still think it’s extremely weird—it’s just not right!

The gorgeous 44-year-old actress, her French billionaire husband and their three-year-old daughter, Valentina have been vacationing in the caribbean. The couple celebrated New Year’s Eve at Russian billionaire, Roman Abramovich’s New Year’s Eve party along with many other celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Transformers 3 star, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and boyfriend Jason Statham.

Salma married a billionaire, so who cars if she spends a ton of money really?  Certainly he doesn’t.  US Magazine got the details:

The 30 Rock actress, 42, will wed Francois-Henri Pinault, 46 — whom she quietly married last Valentine’s Day — in Italy.

“They are being very hush hush about it,” a source tells Us of the couple, who are parents to daughter Valentina, 19 months.

Another source tells Us Hayek and Pinault, the chief executive of PPR — which owns Louis Vuitton — are flying their pals to Venice to celebrate for the entire weekend.

My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail.  I would love to go and see the “small” affair that doesn’t cost a lot of money, wouldn’t you?  I need to go pack my bags…I write about all the details Monday.  Ha!  Congratulations again, Salma.

The two were married in the City Hall of the Sixth Arrondissement in central Paris. Forbes magazine estimated that Francois, who is CEO of the luxury giant PPR and the son of one of France’s richest men, is worth an estimated $16.7 billion.

Wonder if they signed a pre-nup?

But pictures that surfaced from the Mediterranean this week tell another story.  It seems that he – his name is French and I don’t feel like looking it up – was necking in the water with his new girlfriend.  The girlfriend that is what may have caused Salma to ditch him. 

He isn’t that great to look at, so no loss there.  And she did get a beautiful daughter out of the deal, so all was not lost.  His billions of dollars could have only made Salma happy for so long anyway.  Money never makes a marriage work for the long term…she got out at a good time.

As reports by Hollyscoop that Hayek’s rep has told USA Today that: “We are sad to announce the engagement of Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault has been canceled.” What could have gone wrong? Pinault is the father of Hayek’s baby daughter, Valentina.  Then again, what is wrong with me? Relationships are tough. When you have that much money, it must be even tougher, you think?

Salma and her billionaire fiance Francois Henri Pinault have planned for a five-day long affair in St. Tropez next month.  The cost is reported to be around $3.5 MILLION dollars.  The rumors sound unbelievable, but according to I’m Not Obsessed, here they are:

- $500,000 wedding gown

- $1 million worth of flowers

- Luxury hotels for all the guests

- Private flights for guests from other countries

What is their daughter’s dress going to be worth?  So, do you think the wedding sounds outlandish or justified for a multi-billionaire?

Salma and her baby daddy Francois-Henri Pinault – who is a billionaire by trade – could afford to have three weddings if they so desired!  Salma would make a beautiful bride and her little girl a lovely flower girl.  Their baby will be a year old soon.  How fast the time did fly.

Originally the pair had said they weren’t going to marry, but maybe parenthood has changed their minds?  They were content to have a committed relationship, but something must have changed.  What do you think it was?  Parenthood?  Money?  Pressure?

“Mother and daughter are doing well,” Hayek’s publicist Cari Ross said in a statement. 

This is the first child for Hayek, the 41-year-old Mexican-born actress. Her French fiancé  has two kids from his previous marriage.

Congratulations to the happy parents!
