Racer de Portage's mother, Olga Martin-Montis, holder of the De Portago purse strings, is fond of her grandson, reportedly wishes to adopt him herself. All for keeping the boy and wangling from Olga a settlement on him is Kim's mother, onetime famed U.S. Model Dorian Leigh, 36, jilted last year by the marquis (long estranged from U.S.-born wife) after he ran afoul of the charms...
