Early life and education

Sklenaříková was born in Brezno to parents Miroslav Sklenařík and Zlatica Gazdiková.[2] Her mother was a Slovak doctor, while her father was a Czech engineer originally from Vsetín, where her Czech surname originates.[3] She also has a younger sister named Natalia, who works as a lawyer in Paris. At the time of Sklenaříková's birth, her parents were both students, and she was thus raised by her grandparents until she was six years old.[4] Sklenaříková has gone on to comment that her father was cold and distant with her throughout her upbringing, and that he preferred her sister.[5]

After completing her secondary education, Sklenaříková enrolled in Charles University in Prague to study medicine. In 1994, her third year of studies, Sklenaříková was discovered by a French modeling agency after competing in a beauty pageant.[1]

In June 2014, she married Armenian businessman Aram Ohanian, her boyfriend of three years.
