Linda Evangelista won’t be jumping on the dating bandwagon anytime soon.
The Canadian supermodel, 58, said she’s “not interested” in dating as she revealed her thoughts on finding romance again in a new interview The Sunday Times.
“I don’t want to sleep with anyone anymore,” Evangelista told the newspaper. “I don’t want to hear anyone breathing.”
The modeling icon revealed the last time she was on a date was “definitely before Cool-Sculpting”, referring to the fat reduction procedure which she said left her “permanently deformed” and brutally disfigured” after undergoing the sessions from August 2015 to February 2016 .

Evangelista was previously married to Gérald Marie, the former head of the Paris office of Elite Model Management. The couple married in 1987 when she was only 22 and he was 37, and they divorced in 1993.
“I was clueless. He has absolutely no idea… there had to be something cute for them to fall for,” Evangelista said of the relationship.
In documentary series Apple TV+ Super models which premiered in September, Evangelista claimed that her ex-husband physically abused her during their marriage. The runway star told the show that she felt encouraged to speak out following allegations of sexual misconduct and rape against Marie by more than a dozen women in 2020.

Marie’s attorney, Céline Bekerman, denied all allegations to PEOPLE at the time.
Evangelista said The Sunday Times that at that time she did not tell anyone about the alleged abuse because she was “afraid” and “doesn’t know” if anyone else knows. She said that she spent the money she earned from modeling to “get out” of the marriage because “it was everything to her.”
In the interview, Evangelista also referred to motherhood and spoke about her 17-year-old son, Augustin James Evangelista, whom she shares with her ex-partner, French businessman François-Henri Pinault.
