Paulina Porizkova has shared a stunning bikini photo of herself posing in front of a rainbow in honor of Pride Month, revealing she had 'secretly hoped for a gay son.'
The 55-year-old model took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a throwback snapshot of herself frolicking in the ocean in a gold string bikini. She added a rainbow in the background of the picture to show her support for the LGBTQ community.
In the caption, she opened up about the gay men she met as a young model in Paris while sharing that when her son's Jonathan and Oliver Ocasek were growing up, she wished that they were gay.
'I had no idea what gay was until I got to Paris, where I immediately developed a crush on every gay man around me so well dressed, so well spoken, so fun, so sensitive, so talented, so good looking! only to find out their interest in me was not reciprocated,' she recalled.
If I crushed on a guy he was always gay. I call that having great taste in men.'
Paulina met her late husband, The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, while the band was filming the music video for Drive in 1984 and became his third wife in five years later.
They had two sons together, Jonathan, 26, and Oliver, 22, and the mom admitted that she would have liked at least one of them to be gay.
'Being a mom of two sons, I secretly hoped for a gay son,' she explained. 'Well, maybe not so secretly, my sixteen year old had to break it to me gently: "mom, Im sorry, but I dont think Im gay."
Likewise, my gay girlfriends (unfortunately didnt encounter as many) were really hot to me. But less I was blinded by gay fabulousness its necessary to acknowledge the darkness: the pain of growing up feeling different, alone, being relentlessly picked on, threatened, afraid.
'You know what Im proud off?' she asked. 'My amazing, fabulous gorgeous talented LBGTQ friends who, despite growing up in the dark, nevertheless chose to grow into the light, to shine and sparkle and reflect that light onto the rest of us.'
