Personal life
Sklenarikova was labeled as the Tall version or the hidden twin sister of actress Pamela Anderson, who is half-foot shorter, for her resemblance to the actress.
Sklenarikova had previously dated English singer Mick Hucknall from 1994 to 1997.
She met French football player Christian Karembeu on a flight from Paris to Milan in 1998, and they were married in December that year.[1] On 9 March 2011, in an interview to French magazine Paris Match, Adriana revealed that she was separating from her husband.[4] She stated that the causes for the separation were the couple's constant exposure in the media and their "hectic lifestyle" as well as him being "upset to see photographs of [her] with other men appearing in the press and speculation that [she] had a lover".[5] Christian refused questions from the media about the divorce, stating that he would not comment in public about his private life.[6]
In June 2014, she married Armenian businessman Aram Ohanian, her boyfriend of three years. Their wedding was held in Marrakesh, Morocco, and was attended by numerous film and show business stars.[7]
