New York -- She has one of the world's most famous faces. He's a billionaire fashion CEO. And their 5-year-old son is at the center of a bitter, big-money child support fight.
Supermodel Linda Evangelista and ex-boyfriend Francois-Henri Pinault, a French business tycoon now married to actress Salma Hayek, faced off Thursday in the utilitarian environs of a Manhattan family court.
She wants a court to make him pitch in for child-rearing expenses she has tallied at nearly $50,000 a month – for armed bodyguards and a round-the-clock nanny, among other costs.
The trial is offering a public glimpse into the lives of the boldface and beautiful, from the vagaries of a modeling career to the peripatetic lifestyle of a movie star's child. The first day of testimony included a detailed description of a $12 million mansion and Pinault discussing his brief breakup with Hayek before their 2009 marriage.

He may be Salma Hayek‘s husband, but it was recently ascertained that François-Henri Pinault is also Linda Evangelista’s babydaddy. The dude gets around. And because he did the deed, he needs to dole out the child support, Linda thinks. If she gets her way, Pinault will soon be coughing up $46,000 every month for the upkeep of his child, Augustin James, and his mamma.
The supermodel filed her claim on Monday at Manhattan Family Court which states that Pinault sired Evangelista’s son around 2006. She’s going for gold with her lawyer, William Beslow, telling the judge that Pinault has “just been sitting back, paying zero.” His lawyer, David Aaronson, on the other hand, fired back with, “She testified that she wants to have a 24-hour nanny because she does not want to be alone with the child … Miss Evangelista, you should understand, has a worth of more than $8 million,...

Salma Hayek's husband may soon be digging deep into his pockets for child support - $46,000 a month deep, if supermodel Linda Evangelista has her way. A month after it was revealed that Hayek's husband, François-Henri Pinault, fathered a son with Evangelista, the veteran cover girl filed her support order Monday in Manhattan Family Court. "That would probably be the largest support order in the history of the family court," support magistrate Matthew Troy, who is expected to mediate the decision, told the New York Post. According to court papers filed by Evangelista, 46, earlier in the summer, her son, Augustin James,...
