Salma Hayek's billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault has been revealed as the father of Linda Evangelista's son.
The news means Pinault is father to Evangelista's four-year-old Augustin James, and Hayek's three-year-old daughter Valentina.
Evangelista yesterday attended the Manhattan magistrates court in a bid to reach a support arrangement with Pinault, the Chief Executive Officer of luxury brands firm PPR, which owns Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, among others.
It is believed to have been her third or fourth visit to the Family Court, according to the New York Post, meaning the case is now likely to go to a fall support trial.
The Post claims Evangelista and Pinault conceived Augustin in early 2006, the same year he met Hayek. Augustin was later born on October 11, 2006.
Pinault's romance with Mexican actress Hayek is thought to have started in May 2006, before the pair broke off their engagement in July 2008 - less than a year after Salma gave birth to Valentina in September 2007.
Pinault and Hayek married in a Valentine's Day ceremony in Paris in 2009 and they had a second, even more lavish wedding ceremony two months later in Venice.
