Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkova split after 28 years of marriage

The Cars rocker Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkova have separated after 28 years of marriage.
The Czech-born Swedish model announced that she had separated from the frontman last year in a statement posted on her Instagram page on Wednesday (02May18).
“Our family always has been – and still is – a well-built car. When the four of us are together, we can go wherever the road takes us. But as a bicycle, my husband and I no longer pedal in unison. So, we’re ditching the bicycle,” she wrote.
“Ric and I have been peacefully separated for the past year. The photos of our happy family are, in fact, happy family photos; we are just no longer a couple… The love we have for one another is so wide and deep it’s practically tangible, and the sort of love can never disappear. Expect to keep seeing happy family photos.”
The 53-year-old met the rocker while filming The Cars’ music video Drive in 1984, when Ocasek was still married to his second wife Suzanne. They tied the knot in August 1989 and share sons Jonathan and Oliver.
The news comes less than a month after Ocasek, 74, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Cars.
