Paulina Porizkova's Kids: Meet Sons Jonathan and Oliver

Paulina Porizkova has been strutting her stuff on huge runways, but behind the scenes, she’s being the best mom to her two kids. When the beloved model isn’t flaunting her admirable confidence and gorgeous glow, she’s spending time with her sons, Jonathan and Oliver.

Paulina shares her children with her late husband, Ric Ocasek. The Thursday actress and the Cars singer married in 1989 and welcomed their first child together, Johnathan, in 1993. Their second son, Oliver, arrived five years later in 1998. However, the couple split following 28 years together in May 2018.

Despite their separation, Paulina and Ric continued to live together while raising their kids. The Her Alibi star and the musician were even spotted on multiple outings with Jonathan and Oliver. According to Page Six, Paulina defended their friendship via Instagram at the time, writing, “The photos of our happy family are in fact, happy family photos; we are just no longer a couple.”

The Arizona Dream actress was even by her estranged hubby’s side as he struggled with his health during the final years of his life. Ric died at age 75 in September 2019 due to heart disease, the New York City medical examiner’s office confirmed to Rolling Stone. Paulina was heartbroken for her sons, as well as his four other children. The “Drive” crooner shared his older kids, Christopher, Eron, Adam and Derek, with his ex-wife Suzanne Ocasek.

In a strange turn of events, however, Ric excluded Paulina from his will just weeks before his death. “I have made no provision for my wife … as we are in the process of divorcing. Even if I should die before our divorce is final … Paulina is not entitled to any elective share … because she has abandoned me,” he wrote in his will, per Page Six.

Paulina opened up about the bizarre occurrence nearly six months after Ric’s death. During a visit to CBS This Morning in February 2020, the supermodel said being cut out of her husband’s will made the “grieving process really, really tricky.”

“I would love to be able to be sad and miss him and not also feel this incredible hurt and betrayal,” she shared. Despite the pain, Paula is choosing to focus on their family.

Jonathan Raven Ocasek

Paulina’s eldest son was born on November 4, 1993. His mom and late dad may be huge Hollywood stars, but it appears Jonathan isn’t interested in paving a career in showbiz. Instead, he’s a video game designer, Page Six reported.

Paulina can’t help how proud she is of her handsome son, so she’s always sharing pics of Jonathan on social media. In honor of his birthday in November 2020, the actress shared a sweet tribute alongside a pic with his dog.

“He is compassionate and gentle and incredibly kind — as well as super smart,” she gushed in the caption. “His name starts with a J.”

In September 2022, the fashionista revealed that Jonathan got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Erin.

“I have honestly never witnessed a couple so respectful of one another, so full of love for one another, so eager to show little kindnesses to one another on a daily basis as those two,” Paulina gushed. “You can’t be in their company without noticing.”

Oliver Orion Ocasek

The model’s second kiddo, Oliver, was born on May 23, 1998. Though Olivier is still new to the modeling business, he’s already made his magazine debut. As Paulina marveled about on social media, he appeared on the cover alongside his mom of Vogue Czechoslovakia in September 2018.

Oliver also shows up on his mom’s social media like his brother. For her youngest son’s birthday in May 2020, Paulina shared the most touching message.

“Happy birthday to my little guy. Little? At 6’5? Yeah, he’ll always be my little boy,” she penned. “There are few humans I enjoy spending more time with than my Oliver. I think when your kids grow up to be your favorite people, you are a lucky mom indeed.”

In May 2021, Paulina celebrated her youngest son’s college graduation with a sweet Instagram tribute.

“Both of our boys graduated on time, with honors, after having the worst year and a half of their lives,” she wrote alongside a photo from the big day. “I’m so incredibly proud of them. And I know he is too. Together, we’ve raised some outstanding human beings.”
