Helena Christensen: Model Mom

Helena Christensen is a model mom to son Mingus, 7.  What is he into these days?

“Pokemon,” she tells OK! at the Costume Institute Gala held at Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. “He’s totally absorbed. He doesn’t talk about anything else.”

The 39-year-old supermodel relies on her mom to take care of her boy. When she spends time with him, she loves to take him out and about in NYC. “We like to get banana pudding from Magnolia Bakery,” she says.

Helena’s also a whiz in the kitchen. “I cook almost every day. My mother, who is from Peru, has taught me a lot of great dishes. When mother’s here, I get it for free. I use my free card.”
