Linda Evangelista is currently savoring the solo life, and let me tell you, she’s living her best no-strings-attached existence.
In a recent chat with The Sunday Times (because who doesn’t spill the tea on Sundays?), the 58-year-old supermodel spilled the beans on why she’s waving a fond farewell to the dating game.
“I’ve decided I’m officially retiring from the whole sleeping-with-somebody business. I mean, who needs to hear someone else breathing anyway?” Linda declared, giving us a glimpse into her newfound passion for uninterrupted beauty sleep.
And let’s not forget the crucial timeline marker: her last love affair was so far back it was practically prehistoric, dating back to the era she fondly refers to as “Before CoolSculpting.” Yes, we’re talking about that icy adventure she embarked on in 2015 and 2016, attempting to outsmart fat cells with cryolipolysis.
In case you missed the drama, Linda and Zeltiq Aesthetics had a bit of a spat. She accused them of turning her into a modern art masterpiece, claiming the CoolSculpting left her looking like she collided headfirst with a Picasso painting. Lawsuits were exchanged, and she settled the score last year.
Fast forward to the present, and Linda’s working on releasing herself from the icy grip of guilt about those fat-reducing escapades.
“I’ve decided to stop blaming myself. I’ve thawed out, emotionally speaking. Sure, people’s opinions about me still poke at me a bit, but hey, it used to poke me a lot,” Linda spilled. “I now realize I didn’t commit a fashion faux pas. For the longest time, I thought I was guilty of a heinous crime. I’m not entirely free from it, but I’m defrosting the guilt and shame. And let me tell you, I refuse to let it freeze my zest for life. If I’d known how many people cared, I wouldn’t have played the hermit card for so long.”
