Linda Evangelista is expecting…
Supermodel Linda Evangelista is pregnant with her first child. The 41-year-old is dating an unnamed New York City architect and was unable to hide her growing baby bump at a party in Madrid, Spain, on Thursday. The Canadian tells German magazine Gala, “I’m overjoyed. My baby gives my life a meaning.”
Linda suffered a tragic stillbirth in 1999 when she was married to her ex-husband, Gerald Marie. Raised by a working class Italian family, the 5′9″ Evangelista knew she wanted to be a model when she was just 12 years old. When she was 15, a modeling scout noticed her in the Miss Teen Niagara Contest. She later signed up with the Elite Model Agency in New York City before moving to Paris to develop her career.
Linda has appeared in advertisements for companies such as American Express, Anne Klein, Bloomingdale’s, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, and Gianni Versace. Magazine covers include Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Allure, and Harper’s Bazaar.
