Linda Evangelista would rather be single than hear someone else snore during the night. In a recent interview with the UK's Sunday Times, the iconic Canadian model, who is 58 years old, made her stance on dating very clear: she is "not interested" in it.
"I don't want to sleep with anybody anymore," Linda shared. "I don't want to hear somebody breathing." She was previously married to Gérald Marie but they got divorced in 1993. When they got married, she was 22, while he was 37. She later dated François-Henri Pinault and they have a son together, Augustin.
Linda admitted that she doesn't remember the last time she went on a date. However, it was “definitely before the CoolSculpting."
CoolSculpting is a fat reduction procedure that Linda went through in 2015 and 2016. She did not get the results she wanted from the procedure, and later sued cosmetic company Zeltiq Aesthetics because of the side effects she experienced after the procedure.

She alleges that the procedure caused her to be "permanently deformed" and "brutally disfigured." It affected her mental health, made her not want to go out, and stopped her from looking in the mirror.
Something that her son said to her one day made her realize that she was letting the side effects from the procedure impact her too much. "Remember when you used to have fun?” her son asked her.
Though she's still not completely over it (and still doesn't like to look in the mirror), she said her perspective has shifted.
"I don't blame myself any more. I'm not hard on myself any longer," she said in the interview. She admitted that she is still affected by how other people perceive her, but she's getting better.
"How people feel about me still bothers me a little bit, but it used to bother me a lot," she explained.
"I know now that I didn’t do anything wrong. For the longest time I thought I did. I’m not completely rid of it, but I work hard at getting rid of the guilt and the shame. And I’m not letting it ruin my life. I wouldn’t have stayed locked up if I’d known how many people cared," she told the outlet.
She also said that "life is better without mirrors," and she still chooses to not look at herself. "My son will say to me sometimes, 'You might want to know that you have a pimple on your chin.' And I'm like, what?" she explained to the outlet.
