Linda Evangelista Has a Boy



Linda Evangelista has welcomed her first child – a boy, a rep for the supermodel tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Augustin James Evangelista was born on Wednesday in New York City.

Evangelista, 41, told the Associated Press in July that she wasn't worried about the effects of pregnancy on her supermodel figure. "I'm not freaked out at all," she said. "I embrace it. I believe I'm doing everything to go through this as smoothly as possible. I'm either doing yoga or exercising every day."

The Canada-born catwalker also said she wouldn't make a "comeback" after giving birth, because she's not going anywhere to begin with. "I decided when I was 12 that (modeling) is what I wanted to do," she said. "I know how to be a good model. And I didn't have a Plan B in place."

Evangelista is single, although she's been spotted in the past with pasta heir Paolo Barilla and fellow Canadian Bryan Adams. She was married to former modeling agency president Gerald Marie from 1987 to 1992.

Why is the last name Evangelista? Shouldn't the baby have the father's last name?

[dumbledore-lives]

no; she is the baby's mother.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. And, I thought she had a boyfriend. Last I heard, she was dating an architect from New York.

Congratulations Linda!

[eternitygoddess]

Yeah, but baby's are suppose to have the father's name.

[Trista]

It honestly doesn't matter whose last name it has.

Congrats to her!!!

[smartarse]

wooooops! forgot about her due date . Nevertheless, it's a wonderful news indeed! Both mother and child are healthy

" Yeah, but baby's are suppose to have the father's name."

That's really quite a sexist thing to say. It's not mandatory that babies are given the surnames of their father esp when the couple aren't married or aren't even together. Hell these days women who get married often retain their maiden name rather than taking on their husband's name.

At any rate congrats to Linda, after all the difficulties she's had in the past I'm sure she's thrilled to have a healthy baby.
