Linda Evangelista Celebrates Son Augustin’s Graduation With Rare Pic

by

Linda Evangelista’s son is on the runway to success.

Augustin James Evangelista, the single child of the supermodel who had him with her former partner François-Henri Pinault, has just completed high school. She expressed her joy over this achievement by posting a heartfelt tribute.

In her June 2 Instagram post on the 60th, she captioned it with “This is what transpired,” showcasing multiple snapshots of Augie (also known as Augustin) collecting his diploma. I’m overflowing with pride, and feeling incredibly blessed, blessed, blessed.

At the ceremony, it wasn’t just Linda who supported her son. François and his partner Salma Hayek, along with their 17-year-old daughter Valentina Pinault, were also present. A group photo was taken which included Augustin, dressed in a royal blue cap and gown. Afterwards, they each took separate photos with him. Linda later presented him with a graduation cake that had “USC” on it, hinting that her son might be planning to study further at the University of Southern California.

On previous occasions, the Vogue model has expressed admiration for Augustin, most recently dedicating a tribute to him on his 18th birthday in October.

In a post on Instagram, she expressed affectionately, “My dear one,” accompanied by multiple pictures showcasing their shared memories through the years. “@GuillaumePinault is the embodiment of happiness and radiance. #18

Linda additionally added a heartwarming picture showing him and his step-sister Valentina enjoying moments with their father during childhood. Furthermore, if that image didn’t demonstrate enough their harmonious extended family, Salma also marked his birthday with a touching tribute.

On your 18th birthday, Augie – the Frida star – wrote: ‘Congratulations on officially becoming a grown man! While this may only be legal in Mexico and France, your kind heart acts as a soothing balm in our lives. You radiate warmth and light, bringing positivity to those around you.’

When I’m not celebrating life with Augustin, I’m offering a unique peek into my shared parenting journey with Salma. Interestingly enough, I recently commended the talented Desperado actor for his support during a time when I fell ill over the holiday season.

In an August 2023 interview with Vogue, she shared that I had mentioned I wouldn’t be celebrating Thanksgiving due to feeling unwell. However, Salma responded by saying, “Oh no, you are.” Determined, she boarded a plane with her daughter and traveled here to prepare a Thanksgiving feast. The meal she created was truly magnificent – a stunning, beautiful spread.
