Paulina Porizkova opens up about posing topless for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue

Czech-born model Paulina Porizkova called it an honor to be invited to pose topless for the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Paulina Porizkova is single and ready to mingle.

The 57-year-old supermodel opened up about her dating life and a few relationship struggles she’s had in the past, including having "trust issues."

She revealed she’s been turning to a relationship book, "Us" by Terrence Real, for guidance on how to navigate the dating world.

"I thought, 'The next man I meet where I feel like the potential for a relationship is going to go somewhere, I'm going to make them read this book before we get anywhere for real,'" Porizkova explained on "The HollywoodLife Podcast."

"And so, I can say, I've just handed that book up to somebody."

Although the supermodel, who is from Czechoslovakia, did not name the person she is dating, she did reveal the relationship is still "in the early days."

"We had the most amazing conversations about ourselves and where we are going — what we want," she said. "It was a fantastic conversation piece, actually."

Despite struggling with "trust issues," Porizkova said she’s always focused on her career.

"My work is cut out for me," she told the outlet.

The former "America’s Next Top Model" judge’s comments come after her nearly 30 years of marriage to her late ex-husband Ric Ocasek.
