Linda Evangelista shares glimpse into co-parenting relationship with Salma Hayek with a sweet tribute to her son’s stepmother
Linda Evangelista has paid a sweet tribute to her son’s stepmother, Salma Hayek, for going out of her way to help her when she was sick.
In Vogue’s September 2023 issue, the supermodel, 58, gave the publication a rare glimpse into their blended family.
Linda, who dated billionaire François-Henri Pinault for a few months in 2005 and 2006, shares son Augustin, 16, with her ex.
Salma, 56, married François-Henri, 61, in 2009 and together they share a daughter named Valentina, 15, while she is also stepmother to Augustin.
Linda, 58, told Vogue that she spends most holidays with Salma and her ex-boyfriend as a family, but there was one time when she had to back out of the festivities, which prompted Salma to swoop in.

She said, “I was sick over Thanksgiving and Salma got on a plane with her daughter, came over here and made Thanksgiving dinner.
“I wanted her Mexican chicken with truffle potatoes. And she spent the day in the kitchen cooking it herself. No help.
“The kids eventually helped her. She made a feast – a beautiful, beautiful meal. I told her I wouldn’t have Thanksgiving; I did not feel well. And she said, “Oh yes, you are: I’m coming.” And poof, she was here.’
Last year, Linda spoke about the devastating impact CoolSculpting’s aftermath had on her relationship with her son.
A rare side effect from a fat freezing procedure she underwent five years ago has left her “brutally disfigured” and a recluse.
“(Augie) used to say, ‘Mommy, remember when you were cute? Remember when you laughed all the time? How come you don’t smile anymore?” I hate what this has done to my relationship with him,” she said in an interview with People.
“It’s very important for me to raise him knowing he’s beautiful and knowing everyone is beautiful,” she said, adding, “It’s so messed up that I really believe it just doesn’t pertain to me.” has.’
The runway sensation has kept her condition private from her loved ones so as not to “burden” them.
