Linda Evangelista was previously married to billionaire Henri Pinault in 2005 and got a divorce in 2006. Linda has been rumored to have a relationship with many people such as Kyle MacLachlan, Fabien Barthez, Maximilian Leroy, Ugo Brachetti Peretti, Paolo Barilla, Peter Morton, Anthony Kiedis, and Bryan Adams.
Linda Evangelista had a first relationship with agent Gérald Marie, who was heading the Paris office of Elite Models at the time. Even though they were 15 years apart in age, the two became romantically involved in 1986. After dating for a year, Linda and Gérald got married on July 1, 1987. However, after five years together, their marriage began deteriorating, and they got officially divorced by 1993.
Decades later, Carré Otis revealed in her memoir Beauty Disrupted (2011) that Gérald had assaulted her at 17 while still engaged with Linda.
After the divorce with agent Gérald Marie, Linda Evangelista and actor Kyle MacLachlan met for the first time in 1992 while doing a photoshoot together for Barneys New York. The couple dated for three years before announcing their engagement in 1995. But, before they could tie the knot, the couple decided to split up in 1998.

Next, Evangelista began dating French footballer Fabien Barthez. Their romance lasted from 1998 to 2000, during which she fell pregnant but unfortunately lost the baby to a miscarriage six months later. The couple tried to work things out in 2001 but ended their relationship for good in 2002.
After Evangelista breaks up with Barthez, Linda hooked up with Maximilian Leroy in 2002. Leroy passed away in a motorcycle accident three years later, in November 2005. Italian businessman Ugo Brachetti Peretti fell for the supermodel Linda in 2003. They were photographed together at the Vogue Party for photographer Bruce Weber in Milan in September 2003.
By 2004 though, Evangelista and Peretti had gone their separate ways. After separation, Linda and Paolo Barilla, an Italian businessman and former Formula One driver got together in 2005. Later they were split up in 2005.
French billionaire François-Henri Pinault and Linda were dating from September 2005 to January 2006. She made an appearance on the cover of Vogue magazine in August 2006, by then, heavily-pregnant and gave birth to a boy, Augustin James Evangelista, on October 11. However, she refused to divulge details about her son’s biological father citing him to be a New York architect. But, it was in June 2011, when she filed court papers for child support, that his identity was revealed to be Pinault.
The Frenchman began dating actress Salma Hayek shortly after his tryst with Linda. The ex-lovers got embroiled in an unpleasant court battle as Linda had asked for $46,000 in monthly child support. The amount was considered excessive and, if passed, would have been the highest child support payment granted by a family court. In the end, the two parties agreed to settle out-of-court.
Peter Morton, the co-founder of Hard Rock Café, began dating Evangelista in September 2006. But, by October 2010, reports confirmed that their 4-year long relationship was over. Apart from the relationship with different men, she was linked to Anthony Kiedis, the popular band Red Hot Chili Pepper. And she is also has a rumored relationship with Canadian and singer Bryan Adams.
Ex-Husband Gerald Marie Was Accused Of A Four-Rape Case By Four Women
Former Supermodel Gerald Marie has spoken out in support of four women who accused her ex-husband Gerald Marie of rape and sexual misconduct. Her ex-husband was the former head of the Elite Modelling Agency.
Supermodel Linda Evangelista has praised the ‘courage and strength’ of the woman who has accused her ex-husband of sexual misconduct and rape.
Evangelista said she believes the accusations made by women against the model agency boss Gérald Marie de Castellac, with whom she was married for six years.
'During my relationship with Gérald Marie, I knew nothing of these sexual allegations against him, so I was unable to help these women,' said Evangelista, who was married to him between 1987 and 1993.
“Hearing them now, and based on my own experiences, I believe that they are telling the truth. It breaks my heart because these are wounds that may never heal, and I admire their courage and strength for speaking up today.”
Marie is the Elite model agency's former European president, representing some of the world’s top models, including Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell. He strongly denies all allegations of sexual misconduct and rape.
