The touching post comes just one day after Porizkova expressed her reluctance to return to social media.
“I have the hardest time posting. Photos of myself, or what I like, seem so narcissistic at the moment,”she wroteon Instagram this Wednesday.
Ocasek, 75, and Porizkova first met whilefilming the music videofor The Cars’ song “Drive” in 1984.
In May 2018, the couple announced they weresplitting after 28 years of marriage. Though the pair had been separated for over two years when Ocasek died on Sept. 15 in his New York City home, they were not legally divorced andwere still living together.
Last October, Porizkova shared everything she adored about Ocasek in aheartbreaking tribute.

“His smile and his gaze warmed you and made you feel like the most special person in the world. I had that gaze and smile on me for most of my life,” shewrote on Instagramalongside a throwback photo of the pair. “For a long long time, no one could make me feels as loved as Ric. He was my sun.”
“Our separation didn’t alter this one bit,” she added. “He was rising and setting and I planned my life around it as one does a day… His death is the end of my world as I knew it.”
Porizkova found Ocasek after he had died in his sleep following a surgical procedure two weeks earlier.

“I have made no provision for my wife Paulina Porizkova (‘Paulina’) as we are in the process of divorcing,” Ocasek wrote in the will.
“Even if I should die before our divorce is final … Paulina is not entitled to any elective share … because she has abandoned me,” he added.
Porizkova later said that she’s “known about the will since the day after Ric passed.”
“All you have heard from me since is inspite [sic] of that,” shewrote on Instagramin November, sharing a throwback photo Ocasek and his family. She also included the hashtag “love never dies.”
