Paulina Porizkova, the iconic supermodel of the 1980s, has tied the knot with Jeff Greenstein, a television writer and producer. At 61, Porizkova's marriage to Greenstein, 62, marks a new chapter in her life, one that she has approached with a blend of practicality and romance. The couple's wedding, held in the picturesque city of Florence, Italy, was a celebration of love and a strategic move to secure their future together.
A Love Story with a Practical Twist
Porizkova and Greenstein's relationship began in early 2023, a chance encounter through a dating app. Their connection was immediate, and they quickly became engaged in July 2025. However, their decision to marry was not solely driven by emotion; it was also a practical choice. As Porizkova explained, marriage is about trusting a partner with life's most significant decisions, including medical ones. This was a concern for the couple, especially given their desire to be each other's medical decision-makers.
A Journey of Growth and Healing
Porizkova's journey to this point has been a tumultuous one. Her previous marriage to The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, which lasted nearly three decades, ended in separation in 2017. The pain of their divorce was compounded by the discovery that she had been excluded from Ocasek's will, leading to a bitter dispute with his estate that lasted until 2021. This period of grief and financial upheaval has been a significant part of her story, and her marriage to Greenstein represents a new beginning.
A Celebration in Florence
The wedding in Florence was a private affair, attended by close friends and family who had traveled to share in the joy. Porizkova, radiant in a pale pink sundress, and Greenstein, relaxed in jeans and a printed shirt, exchanged vows on a picturesque balcony. The ceremony, which took approximately seven months to complete the legal requirements in Italy, was a testament to their commitment to each other.
A Future Together
As the newlyweds embark on their married life, they face new challenges and opportunities. The search for a new home in Manhattan, following Porizkova's eviction from her apartment, is a practical concern. However, their marriage is a symbol of hope and a new beginning. Greenstein's Emmy-winning career in television, including his work on Will & Grace and Friends, adds a layer of excitement to their future, as they navigate the complexities of love and life together.
