The pair got married five years into their relationship and had two sons together: Jonathan and Oliver.

Osasek had four children from earlier relationships Christopher, Adam, Eron and Derek.

Their marriage weathered an impressive 28 years before the two announced their separation in May 2018.

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."

Porizkova also revealed the two had been separated for quite some time prior to the announcement.

At the time of Ocasek’s passing in 2019, they were still legally married.

While the singer had recently undergone surgery, he was expected to recover.

Page Sixreports that Ocasek even stipulated the reason why.

“I believed I knew him.

I believed we had the same definition of ‘love.’

Grieving him is an equal amount of heartbreak and rage.”
