NextImg:Paulina Porzikova posts pic from last vacation with Ric Ocasek: ‘So incredibly lonely’

Paulina Porizkova is remembering her estranged husband, Ric Ocasek, on what would have been the rocker’s 79th birthday.

The model took to Instagram on Thursday to post a photo of the couple along with their two sons, Jonathan, 29, and Oliver, 24.

“This pic is from our last vacation together, when I still hoped my marriage would survive,” she began the missive.

“I told my husband I was so incredibly lonely, my heart so empty and yearning for love, literally anyone could take it. Anyone could woo me. Including him. On this vacation, I was still hoping he would try.”

Porizkova, 57, shared that although she was experiencing “growing loneliness as his wife,” she was strong “when the four of us were together.”

Despite their marital issues, the “Anna” star “remembered him as that, that particle that made my whole world possible. With infinite gratitude and nothing but love.”

She concluded the post by adding the hashtags, “#loveneverdies #birthday #ricocasek #missedforever #gratitude.”

In her memoir, “No Filter: The Good, the Bad and the Beautiful,” the model explained that the two met on the set of Cars’ music video “Drive” in 1984 — when she was just 19 years old and he was 40.

Ocasek was twice married with four sons when they embarked on a passionate affair before getting married in 1989 after his second divorce was finalized.

However, the Sports Illustrated alum revealed that as their sons grew up, Ocasek grew disinterested in her.

“I needed more from my partner than just to be told that I’m beautiful and being worshipped,” she told Page Six exclusively in a recent interview.

After 34 years of marriage, the duo announced their separation in 2018. Despite their planned divorce, they were still living together when Ocasek died unexpectedly after surgery in 2019 at the age of 75.

Porizkova was then shocked to discover that Ocasek had written her out of his will, citing “abandonment.”

In her note, the model recalled feeling “so lonely” during their trip and hoping that her husband could “woo her” once more.

Porizkova then talked to Page Six about her “complicated” feelings following his death.

“I remember feeling kind of numb for a certain amount of time and then sliding into anger,” she explained. “And then, for me, it wasn’t like, ‘I love him, I hate him, I love him, I hate him.’ It was more like, ‘You know, I miss him, but look what he did, too.’

“Like, how can I miss a man who did this to me? I mean, I still miss him like that. You can’t erase parts of your entire life. It was complicated, and it will probably remain complicated for the rest of my life.”
