Instead, she notes that they hold on tight to one another “not like drowning people - but like two people who can’t believe their luck.” In Porizkova’s view, time was a key ingredient to get them exactly where they needed to be: into each other’s arms as the person each became right now. Porizkova learned all she needed to about love thanks to being with Greenstein and all who came before View this post on Instagram A post shared by Paulina Porizkova (@paulinaporizkov) The way Porizkova tells it, everything clicked into place with Greenstein, both in terms of romance and in understanding what made that love flourish. “It took me 58 years to understand that what I wanted and needed was not Prince Charming charging into my life on a white steed to rescue me with his love, but an equal,” she shared. She continued, “And for that, I first had to figure out what I needed. And what I couldn’t do without. This I learned from my previous relationships, so in a way, it wasn’t time wasted even if it felt like it at times.” Porizkova learned about love thanks to her 58 years of experience finding where she belongs / Instagram Her previous relationship to Ocasek, who died in 2019 at the age of 75, had been famously fraught with road bumps and drama. At one point, he drafted up a new will that disinherited Porizkova as well as his two eldest sons; Ocasek alleged that Porizkova had "abandoned" him after he underwent a then-recent surgery. It was she who found Ocasek dead in his home and when he passed, they had been in the process of divorcing. She has said Ocasek controlled most of his life, yet when her son graduated college, she offered assurances that Ocasek would have been "proud." But this, and her brief relationship with Aaron Sorkin, all got her exactly where she needed to be - with Greenstein.
