Paulina Porizkova said she felt like she became 'invisible' to men when she turned 58.
She admitted it was a shock hitting the dating scene again in her 50s after decades of being a top model in the industry and a longtime marriage.
The supermodel, now 61, reflected on single life post-divorce before she found love again with her now-husband, television writer Jeff Greenstein, 62.
She said that after turning 58, she felt 'overlooked' but eventually connected with Greenstein on the dating app Raya, and the couple tied the knot in July after three years of dating.
'I was on Raya for five years, and I got, I got maybe four hits in five years. Older women are f***ing invisible on Raya,' she told People on Saturday.
Porizkova said she also felt the same way outside of dating apps too.

'If you want to find somebody, and you go out to events to meet people, if you are in your late 50s going out to parties, going to a bar, you're going to totally get overlooked.'
'I know people don't believe me. They're like, 'Oh, you're Paulina Porizkova, how is that possible?'
'Well, you should just shadow me at a party and see how guys my age will just walk away and follow the 30-year-old to buy her a drink instead,' she continued.
She also opened up about her experience hitting the dating pool after her separation with The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, who died in 2019 before they finalized their divorce.
'It was shocking to me, because [after the split], I was like, 'Oh, I'll do a lot of dating.' And then I was like, 'Wait, but with who?'
'Because when I was dating before I met my husband, I was an extremely popular date,' she said.
'So going from being the hottest girl in town to being an invisible 58-year-old was really shocking,' Porizkova added.

'All we did was talk, and then FaceTime, and then have tea on FaceTime, which turned to wine on FaceTime, which turned into tequila on FaceTime,' Porizkova recalled in an interview with People in July.
After two years of dating, Greestein, who wrote for shows like Will & Grace, proposed to the Czech-born model.
'She's the best-read person in the world,' Greestein said about his wife.
He also said his bride is 'so quick-witted' and 'so insightful.'
'I wasn't prepared for it. I had no idea the depths of her intelligence,' he continued.
'She cares about family, about social justice, she speaks four languages,' he added. 'And she's sexy as hell.'
