The child support issue has been settled between former supermodel Linda Evangelista and billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault.
Before Linda Evangelista could take the stand in the second day of her contentious custody case against her son's father, French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, the two parties reached a settlement that put a stop to the court proceedings in Manhattan Family Court.
Evangelista had been seeking up to $46,000 a month in child support to pay for her 5-year-old son Augustin's nannies, chauffeurs, security and other expenses associated with his care.
"He has gone a long way toward meeting those original demands," a source close to the negotiation told the New York Post about Pinault, who is married to Salma Hayek, with whom he has a 4-year-old daughter, Valentina. Pinault is the scion of one of France's richest families, which owns the luxury conglomerate that includes Gucci, Bottega Veneta,
Boucheron, and Yves St. Laurent. His family's worth is estimated at $16-$18 billion, with his 2010 income as CEO of the company a reported $5 million. Although the exact terms of the agreement have not been released, Pinault's attorney addressed the press outside the court, saying: "Everybody's glad for the sake and the benefit of the child that it's done."
A rep for Evangelista had no comment, but the model's lawyer had claimed Pinault initially "suggested she terminate the pregnancy," a sensitive topic Evangelista would have had to testify about Monday in the New York court. It was only revealed last year that the father of Evangelista's son Augie was indeed Hayek's husband. Pinault reportedly started dating the Mexican actress just as his ex Evangelista found out she was pregnant. Hayek and Pinault married in 2009.Jacked from iVillage

Suffice it to say that she didn't get what she wanted or she would have had a press conference by now.
UM, Im pretty sure she DID get what she wanted. and it was enough to shut her up so yeah she happy! keeping her mouth shut on the details is prob part of the deal.
smart girl
This guy is a jerk. If he didn't want a baby he should have worn a condom. And she let it go for a few years until she saw he was not gonna help her so she did what she had to do. Got in that azz! LOL!
He should have knocked her off when he had the chance. Well it still isn't too late. He is rich enough to get away with it.
Wow! Most of the super uber rich are such disgusting pigs morally! I see why most are not happy and have to live to the extreme just to feel anything! Money and greed are the engines that seem to motivate them. God help the poor children of the super rich!
His ugly ass should have just paid up. He thought he was going to skate and not pay. Damn deadbeat. The system had to nail his deadbeat ass to the wall.
Actually, he offered child support several times but she ignored him on purpose, thats known. she is far from stupid and I think she is very calculating. she def knows what she is doing.
He neded to be outed. If he had wanted to pay child support then he would have. No one should have to tell you to take your 1/2 of the responsibility for a child. It takes two to tangle. What gives you the right to dust your hands and wait for the custodial to ask you for support? He should have been taken to the cleaners. If he did not want a kid with her, then he should have worn protection. When you don't protect yourself, you have no control over the outcome.
The child support agreement would still stand because it's for the child not her. Whoever would be the little boys' guardian would still get the same amount in trust for him. Why would you say such a thing?

Salma Hayek should divorce this jerk as soon as possible because he is a bum who doesn't have any morals. I have never liked him at all but I have loved Salma Hayek for about 13 years. I don't understand how she can stand to be married to him at all. How many of you think that this marriage will end soon?
