Linda Evangelista Asks For Big Bucks From Salma Hayek's Hubby

By Michael Lopez

A while back, we told you about the baby daddy drama surrounding Salma Hayek's husband, François-Henri Pinault. Apparently he fathered a child with supermodel Linda Evangelista at the same time that Salma's girl Valentina was being born. And now Evangelista is asking the French businessman to pay her $46,000 a month in child support!

Granted Pinault is a very wealthy man, but $46k a month is steep by anyone's standards. If Linda gets her way, he'll have to fork up over half a million dollars a year. But according to Evangelista, it's hardly wasteful. She says she needs it for around-the-clock nanny care, personal drivers, and vacations.

As of right now, it's up to the New York courts to decide exactly how much of Pinault's cash gets divvied up for his now 4-year-old son. But even the judge seems to think that Linda's demands are a tad exorbitant.

"These are the extraordinary expenses that may be a part of the child's life," he reportedly said during the trial.

Evangelista's lawyers claim that Pinault has paid zero child support thus far and seem confident that they can make a major dent in his pocketbook. Not surprisingly, Salma has continued to pull the "no comment" card on the issue.

Do you think Linda Evangelista is being unfair with her demands? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
