Paulina Porizkova says Aaron Sorkin invited her to the Oscars for their second date – Daily Mail

Paulina Porizkova has revealed new boyfriend Aaron Sorkin invited her to this year’s Oscars for their second date.  

In a New York Times profile, Porizkova revealed her new lover Aaron Sorkin, who she called a ‘great kisser’ suggested they go public at one of the year’s biggest showbiz events.

The A-List couple’s surprise pairing made a huge splash at last month’s ceremony at Los Angeles‘ Union Station – and Porizkova revealed she was nervous about making things official at such a huge event.

‘This is going to kind of take me off the market for a little bit,’ she told Sorkin, who won an Oscar for his 2009 Facebook biopic The Social Network.

‘OK,’ he replied. 

The much publicized date comes less than two years after Porizkova’s husband Ric Ocasek, front man of rock band the Cars died unexpectedly at 75, months after doctors detected early-stage lung cancer. 

Now 56, the writer and model says she is picking up the pieces after his death in September 2019 after 30 years of marriage.

Porizkova describes the horrifying moment she discovered his body as she was bringing him a cup of coffee in their home. 

She said after she found him dead she planned on calmly telling her children who were downstairs and comforting them, but she collapsed.  

 ‘Instead, my legs gave out, literally gave out,’ she told the Times. ‘I crawled down two flights of stairs on my elbows. It was the damnedest thing. I was just sobbing. I didn’t even say anything. I just crawled down on all fours and my son saw me and screamed and just ran upstairs.’

The couple were going through a separation at the time of his death and the next day she learned that she had been recently written out of his will. 

Porizkova said the first sign of trouble came when Ocasek hired a notoriously tough divorce lawyer, despite claiming they’d split amicably.

She said he told her not to worry when she raised concerns over the hire.  

Ocasek’s sons from his first marriage were also not acknowledged, while her sons and two other stepsons were the main beneficiaries, creating conflict within the family.  

‘He left things in a mess with the will thing,’ she told the Times. ‘That was such a mean thing to do to us as a family because we’re a fairly close-knit family and that’s not his doing, nobody came away happy from this. 

‘Not the ones who were slighted and not the ones that supposedly won the lottery either. It just puts everybody into really awkward situations we’re still trying to figure out.’

In his will Ocasek wrote that his wife was not entitled to her legal marital portion of the estate, ‘because she has abandoned me.’ 

She is currently in litigation with Mr. Ocasek’s estate, Porizkova told the Times. 

Born to poverty in Soviet-era Czechoslovakia in 1965, Porizkova fled to Sweden at three-years-old to escape the Warsaw Pact, a military alliance of communist nations in eastern Europe of which her homeland of Czechoslovakia was a member.  

After taking up modelling she moved to New York and graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated 1984 swimwear issue. 

Since her husband’s passing she has sold the home they shared and moved into a rented two-bedroom duplex in Chelsea with a garden and master bedroom suite she calls her ‘sex lair.’ 

The suite has a piano, and includes a full-length painted portrait of Porizkova with her face in profile and naked body partially obscured by a draped scarf. 

The mother of two is now known for being an open book on social media- discussing aging, grief and mental illness.  

At 56, she recently was on the cover of Czech Republic’s edition of Vogue magazine in a sheer bodysuit.
