Inside Emily Ratajkowski’s fun-filled year of dating as she embraces life as a ‘chic’ divorcee

When Emily Ratajkowski split from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard of four years amid claims he was a ‘serious cheater’, she didn’t let the sudden end of her marriage bring her down.

Instead, the 32-year-old model has fully embraced single life, claiming she thinks it’s “chic to get divorced at 30.”

Emily was previously married to Sebastian, who shares son Sylvester Apollo Bear, two.

Since then, she has enjoyed a string of high-profile dates with stars including Harry Styles and Eric Andre.

And this week Emily enjoyed a passionate PDA session with actor and comedian Stephane Bak as the pair debuted their new romance in Paris.

Here, MailOnline takes a look at Emily’s fun year of dating.

Eric Andre (January – February 2023)

The mother-of-one was first linked to comedian Eric Andre, 40, in January 2023 after she was spotted side-by-side on a series of public outings.

After weeks of dating rumors, the pair posed for a racy Instagram album posted on Valentine’s Day that seemed to leave no doubt about their relationship status.

The comedian was seen naked on a sofa, while Emily wore nothing but a bra visible in a nearby mirror.

But an insider later claimed the supermodel had split from Eric just days earlier, telling E!News, “She had nothing to do with the post.”

It was in stark contrast to Andre’s claims to Rolling Stone that the pair “both agreed to share the beautiful image,” with Emily clearly spotting the now-viral photos in the post.

DailyMail.com contacted representatives for comment at the time.

It came after Eric told the story behind the photos that announced their affair to the world.

“I was really in the moment, I was drinking wine, she started laughing, and she said, ‘I have to take a picture of this,'” he said. “She took the photo and we both started laughing. She said: “This is iconic.” We both agreed that this was a beautiful image that we had to share with the world.”

Eric admitted that there was “not a lot of thought” behind the photos, joking, “It was one of those things.” And I think that’s what art is about. Art is not intellectual; it’s primal. It has to speak to your hormones as much as it does to your mind.”

In the same vein, he continued: ‘The beauty of it was the spontaneity. Spontaneity and capturing happy accidents, that’s what art is all about.’

During the interview, he also reflected on the experience of being a self-described “ugly” comedian dating a beautiful, famous woman.

‘How could this happen? I think people think that attraction is only based on physical appearance, but that beauty is only skin deep. You would think comedy would work,” he joked.

Harry Styles (February – March 2023)

In March, Emily shocked fans when she kissed Styles, 29, on the streets of Tokyo following his split from Olivia Wilde.

The pair were seen dancing with each other as they stood next to a silver personnel carrier while sheltering from the rain under an umbrella.

They shared some passionate kisses on the street outside, and didn’t seem to care who saw them as they were in full view of onlookers.

In a podcast recorded on March 9, two weeks before she was spotted kissing him, Emily revealed she had been secretly dating Harry for two months – and confessed he might be ‘the one’.

In a candid and detailed chat about her love life, Emily revealed that she has been seeing Harry since early February and hopes their romance will be long-term.

Emily said: ‘I’ve just started dating someone I think I like, so that’s different. I thought, ‘He’s pretty great.’

“But if you had talked to me four weeks ago, absolutely. I would see someone and then suddenly the way he was walking would be like, ugh.

‘What am I looking for in a partner? I like someone who is very independent. I think that’s very important to me, because I have a full life.

“I’m hoping that dating someone who has more of their own life will prevent the problems I had before.”

But that romance faded when Harry dated actress Taylor Russell.

Harry previously dated Olivia Wilde; Harry and Olivia split in November last year after almost two years together.

DJ Orazio Rispo (April-July 2023)

Although she has been seen on many high-profile dates with a plethora of men, Orazio seems to be her most consistent romantic interest.

The pair have been spotted on several outings together since they were spotted kissing on a date in October 2022, just a month after she filed for divorce from film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard.

However, they were last seen having dinner in London in July, meaning their romance may have fizzled out.

Before that, the two were spotted enjoying a romantic dinner together during the getaway in the Big Apple.

Stéphane Bak (October 2023)

Emily Ratajkowski enjoyed a passionate PDA session with actor and comedian Stephane Bak as the pair debuted their new romance in Paris on Tuesday.

The supermodel appeared smitten with the French star, 27, as they locked lips in the street while holding a glass of wine.

Bak was also seen brutally grabbing Emily’s derriere during their kiss in the street.

He rose to fame in 2012 at the age of 16 as ‘France’s youngest comedian’ thanks to his amazing stand-up routines in small clubs in Paris including Le Palace and Théâtre Trévise.

The French-Congolese star was expelled from high school in 2011 and later received permission from the French Ministry of Social Affairs to start working at the age of 14, which led to his comedy career.

His acting roles include Christopher Barratier’s Team Spirit, David Moreau’s Alone and Paul Verhoeven’s Elle.

His most notable role came in Wes Anderson’s 2023 film Asteroid City as a college student alongside A-listers Scarlett Johansson and Tom Hanks.
