Paulina Porizkova Got Only 4 Raya Matches in 5 Years — She Thinks She Knows Why

Paulina Porizkova went five years on the exclusive dating app Raya and got exactly four hits. Four. Then one of them turned into a fiance. The 61-year-old model broke down the whole saga in a new chat with Ageist magazine on Wednesday, May 13, and it ’s equal parts brutal, funny, and kind of sweet.

Raya was a wall... until it wasn’t

"You know how many hits I got on Raya in five years? Four."

Her theory on why the app felt like a ghost town: age filters. She suspects she was basically age-gated out of men’s searches because guys can set how old their matches can be, and too many of them only want younger. In her words, once you pass the mid-50s mark, you might as well be invisible.

Her profile: real-life, no glam. His: pure chaos, saved by a song

Porizkova did not play the thirst-trap game. Most of her photos were makeup-free. One shot was literally her flipping herself off in front of a gigantic poster of herself. The point was to show the unvarnished version: this is me, even when I don’t look great.

• Enter Jeff Greenstein, 63: She matched with him despite a profile she calls a disaster. Think bald up top but, as she put it, hairy in the wrong spots; terrible photos, including a mini-bike pic with full clown-show energy; and a bio that read like a shrug — an introvert pretending to be an extrovert, plus a random note about being ambidextrous. Nothing about it sold confidence or clarity. The two things that kept her from swiping away: a genuinely warm smile and, buried at the bottom, a Modern Lovers track on his profile. Good taste in music bought him a meeting.

The first date honesty that sealed it

When they finally met, he didn’t pretend he had no idea who she was. He told her straight up: he grew up seeing her posters, thought she was super hot, and her late husband, Ric Ocasek, was in one of his favorite bands, The Cars. No games, no performance. That blunt honesty is what hooked her now — she says the difference between the Paulina of the past and the Paulina today is that she finds authenticity and plain truth incredibly attractive.

Where they are now

Porizkova and Greenstein hard-launched their relationship on Instagram in 2023, got engaged in July 2025, and the wedding is in two months. She sounds relaxed about the whole thing. She also says this is the relationship she wishes she’d had all along — the one she finally found at 58. He wasn’t what she used to consider her type, and she admits he’s someone she might have overlooked before. Now, he feels like the perfect partner, unexpectedly.

Quick backstory

Porizkova was married to The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek from 1989 until his death in 2019 at age 75.
