"I don't want to hear somebody breathing" - the 90s supermodel has no desire to date anytime soon!
Model Linda Evangelista is taking a break from the dating world.
The 58-year-old has revealed that she currently has no interest in being in a relationship.
"I don't want to sleep with anybody anymore. I don't want to hear somebody breathing," she told the Sunday Times, according to E! News.
Linda added that she hasn't been on a date since before she underwent a fat-freezing procedure known as CoolSculpting.
The fat-reduction procedure, which she had done eight years ago, left her "permanently deformed". She filed a lawsuit in 2021 against the company that peformed the procedure.

Linda revealed in a 2021 post that she became a recluse after being "brutally disfigured" by the procedure.
The 90s supermodel, who modelled alongside Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Cindy Crawford, disappeared from the public eye for five years.
"To my followers who have wondered why I have not been working while my peers’ careers have been thriving, the reason is that I was brutally disfigured by Zeltiq’s CoolSculpting procedure which did the opposite of what it promised," she wrote in the post.

Linda added that the procedure increased her fat instead of decreasing it.
"I have developed Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia or PAH... PAH has not only destroyed my livelihood, it has sent me into a cycle of deep depression, profound sadness, and the lowest depths of self-loathing. In the process, I have become a recluse," she wrote.

Linda has since settled her lawsuit with Zeltiq Aesthetics. She has also returned to work and has attended several fashion events over the past two years.
"Making new friends while reuniting with old ones is the beauty of this journey. Many thanks to @theststyle for this moment," she captioned pictures taken during her photoshoot with The Sunday Times Style.
