Linda Evangelista has opened up about what it's like to share parental responsibility with Hollywood star Salma Hayek. The former supermodel shares her 16-year-old son Augie with her former partner and Salma's current husband Francois-Henri Pinault.

Talking to Vogue, the catwalk star described how Augie spends quality time with Salma and her family on holidays and even recalled a time Salma had also taken care of her during one special break when she needed a little extra help.

Heaping praise on her sons step mum she said: “I was sick at Thanksgiving. And Salma got on the plane with her daughter, came here, and made Thanksgiving dinner. She asked what I wanted - it was a very eclectic wish list. I wanted her Mexican chicken with truffled potatoes. And she spent the day in the kitchen and cooked it herself. No help.”

Linda continued to describe how Salma had worked tirelessly to come to her rescue and serve up exactly what she wanted so she wouldn't miss out on Thanksgiving.

She added: “The kids helped her at the end. She made a feast - a beautiful, beautiful meal. I had told her that I wasn’t going to have Thanksgiving; I wasn’t feeling well. And she said, ‘Oh yes you are. I am coming.’ And poof, she was here.”

Salma recently revealed the secret to her youthful good looks during a chat on Kelly Ripa's Lets Talk Off Camera podcast. The 56-year-old movie star confessed that botox isn't a contributing factor in her incredible appearance - and instead attributed her glowing complexion to a combination of meditation and frequency machines. She said: “Because of a lot of pain in my body and health issues, somehow I developed this strange meditation that I keep evolving.”

Talking about how she uses holistic techniques to help with a herniated disc and problems in her neck, hip and ankles, she continued: “I can do it for hours because you don’t feel the time, and it’s so much fun because it’s not like you sit there and you think of nothing. It’s actually feeling the energy and it moves and it dances inside of you.”

Discussing her meditation techniques further she admitted that she doesn't follow an app and just tunes in to what her body is telling her.She said: “I listen to my body. And it’s weird things. What I do every day, most of the time, I start still. There is movement, but you have to learn to let your body move on its own.”
