Linda Evangelista (pic) revealed in a new interview that she has been privately battling breast cancer for five years.

The fashion model, 58, told the Wall Street Journal that doctors detected breast cancer during her annual mammogram in December 2018. When she received the news, she said, her instinct was to "put everything behind" her and "not have to deal" with it.
