Paulina Porizkova says she is being evicted from the New York apartment she has called home for six years, and the move will come four days before she marries Jeff Greenstein in Italy.
The model and actor said on their podcast, Twenty Good Summers, that the timing has turned a long-planned wedding into an unwanted housing scramble. Greenstein put it bluntly: they are coming back from the ceremony to nowhere to live in New York.
Porizkova and Greenstein got engaged in July 2025, and they used a recent episode to talk through the logistics of leaving one life behind and trying to build another. Porizkova said the apartment has been a refuge, calling it the place that kept her safe and where she felt she grew into herself. “We’re starting over completely, both of us,” she said. “We are both over 60, and we are starting again.”
She said her landlord did not want to grant an extension, despite what she described as six years of being a good tenant. “I begged and pleaded,” Porizkova said, adding that the move-out date lands just four days before the wedding. “Not great. Not great.”
The situation has a practical side that softens the blow. Porizkova said she co-owns a country house with her two sons, Jonathan and Oliver, and that the couple can stay in Greenstein’s Los Angeles house for now. But Greenstein said that house is in the process of being sold, which leaves their longer-term plans unsettled even if they have a roof for the moment.
The move comes at a symbolic moment for Porizkova, who was previously married to Cars singer Ric Ocasek for nearly thirty years before they split in 2018. This time, she and Greenstein are not just planning a wedding; they are trying to assemble a shared life in real time, while their old one is being packed into boxes. Greenstein said the upheaval was not what they imagined, but that it is still the beginning of something new. “We are coming back to, for better or worse, literally for richer or poorer,” he said. “It won’t look like the old one.”
Porizkova framed the whole thing as both absurd and lucky, posting earlier this week that the eviction had pushed them to record an episode about moving in together, blending homes and managing the emotions that come with big transitions. For now, the question is not whether the wedding will happen. It will. The question is where the newly married couple will actually live when they return.
