“Now I’m 57, and I’m in the dating pool,” theSports Illustratedcover model revealed.
“What isthatlike?” Smith curiously asked, to which Porizkova put it plainly: “It’s a small pool, dirty little puddle.”
“Girls, ladies — it sucks,” she added while keeping a deadpan smile on her face.
Her definition of “sucks” entails having limited options.
“It turns out that on the dating apps, men my age that are willing to sleep with women our age, have slept with all my girlfriends already. There’s like these five guys we keep passing around and they’re like ‘So did you sleep with him yet? Yeah don’t bother, okay cool thanks’,” Porizkova shared, prompting laughs around the table.

However, amidst the lighthearted chatter on theRed Table Talkepisode, Porizkova also opened up about her relationship with her late ex and The Cars frontmanRic Ocasek— including his sudden death in September 2019 — in an in-depth, emotional way.
“He had surgery because they’d found stage 0 lung cancer,” she recalls. “And he was recovering really well. Two weeks [later], he was walking around, he was starting to feel much better, he was sleeping better. And this night, he said, you know what, I’m feeling kinda tired.”

“I brought him a cup of coffee and he just looked like he was sleeping,” Porizkova remembered of the life-altering moment . “I set the coffee down next to him and that’s when I saw his face. I saw his eyes. And they didn’t look like eyes anymore.”
Ocasek died from natural causes at the age of 75 in his New York City home.
