Emily Ratajkowski knows what people are saying about her current dating life, but she also knows she doesn't have to explain herself.
The model, who last year split from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard amid reports he was unfaithful, has since been spotted out enjoying life with multiple famous—and semi-famous—men. She went to an NBA game with Pete Davidson, posed for a nude Valentine's Day photo with comedian Eric André (whom she ended things with in March), and was recently seen passionately kissing Harry Styles in Tokyo.
In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, she addressed it all.
"There's a million insane, inaccurate things about my relationships [that are said]," Ratajkowski said in a voice note she sent from Japan.
EmRata explained that while she has been having fun, she is certainly not trying to get into a serious relationship just yet.
"I'm definitely still not thinking about guys," she said. Then, alluding to her kiss with Styles, she added, "Although, yeah. You know, sometimes things just happen."
The My Body author said dating helps her get a different perspective on herself; seeing how men react to her, and then reflecting on how she feels about those reactions helps her embrace her "super-womanness."
"It's almost like they hold up a mirror," she said, "and that helps me feel like the confident person I really need to be to be able to do the work I do."
In the interview, Ratajkowski did not address the recent sexual misconduct allegations surrounding her ex-husband or speak about the reason they separated, but she did describe what she has been living through as one of the "most traumatic experiences of [her] entire life."
Despite the "horrifying" year she's had, however, she said son Sylvester makes it all worth it.
