Emily Ratajkowski has revealed she’s been secretly dating Harry Styles for two months — and confessed that he might just be “the one.”
In a candid and extended chat about her love life, Emily, 31, says she’s been seeing Harry since early February and hopes their romance will be long-lasting.
Speaking on a podcast recorded on March 9, two weeks before kissing Harry in Japan on March 25, she gushed sweetly about how “awesome” he is.
Emily said, “I just started dating someone I think I like, so that’s different. I was like, ‘He’s pretty awesome’.
“But if you had talked to me four weeks ago, absolutely. I’d see someone and then suddenly the way he’d walk would be like, ugh.

Smooch: Emily was filmed kissing Harry passionately last week after performing on the final leg of his aptly named Love On Tour concerts
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 hope that dating someone who has more of their own life will prevent the problems I had before.”
Emily was filmed passionately kissing Harry last week after performing on the final leg of his aptly named Love On Tour concerts.
In an exclusive video obtained by MailOnline, a passerby caught them in a clinch as they took cover from the rain next to a silver passenger car.
The pop star looked smart in a dress shirt and dark suit, while New York-based Emily looked totally smitten as she held his hand and caressed his face.
Hours later, at around 6am, Harry was seen strolling around Tokyo, reportedly with his ‘former flame’ Kiko Mizuhara, who is believed to be in a relationship with John Carroll Kirby.
In comments from before she was filmed kissing Harry, Emily admitted that getting caught on camera is a constant worry for both her and the people she is dating.
Since being single, she has been associated with comedian Pete Davidson and actor Brad Pitt. She was also spotted on a Valentine’s date with comedian Eric André, but later hinted on social media that the “situationship” had ended.
Speaking on the Going Mental podcast with Eileen Kelly, she said, “It’s hard to avoid what people say online. I read stuff on Twitter or when I start people will say, “I saw that thing.” It’s hard to date casually.
Romance: In a candid and extended chat about her love life, Emily, 31, lets slip that she’s been seeing Harry since early February and hopes their romance will be long-lasting
Gushing: Speaking on a podcast two weeks before she was spotted kissing Harry, Emily said, “I just started dating someone I think I like, so that’s different. I was like ‘He’s pretty awesome’
“Every time I take a picture with someone, it happens even if I’ve only seen them a few times.
“When you’re dating several people at once, it’s pretty brutal when they wake up and say, ‘I’ve only been seeing you for two days.’
“Not that I need to worry about that, but it made it very complicated and gave me a lot of anxiety.
“That part of it was hard, but otherwise it was fun. I’ll say, “Sure, I’m going out to dinner, why not?”
Harry and his girlfriend of two years, Olivia Wilde, 39, split in November last year. The couple met on the set of Don’t Worry Darling.
In February, it was reported that Harry had moved on from his ex-girlfriend Olivia Wilde with someone else, although the mystery lady was not identified.
A source told it Mirror at the time, “Harry is dating someone. He does everything he can to keep her identity quiet after the circus surrounding his relationship with Olivia.
“But his closest circles all know about the romance. Although it’s still early, things seem to be going well.’
Emily filed for divorce from her producer husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, the father of her two-year-old son Sylvester, in September.
Her ex has since been accused of sexual misconduct by several women. He was accused of “grooming” two teenage girls via Instagram before sleeping with them.
Speaking of what she’s looking for in a partner, Emily said: ‘I’m attracted to masculinity, it drives me crazy. If you want to psychoanalyze me, my father was a hyper-masculine guy who was also a painter.
“I don’t have daddy issues, I have a good relationship with my dad. But my idea of masculinity, from when I was very young, was very traditional, playing sports and fixing everything around the house, but also making art and being very vulnerable.
And that’s super hard to find. It’s led me in some strange directions, but yes, I’m attracted to masculinity. I need an edge.
“You have to be funny, there have to be layers for you. I’m looking for good hearted people who are thoughtful and have good politics and are funny with similar interests.

‘People think I’m super feminine and I’m not. There’s a traditional straight game you play where you’re the dainty little girl.
“I’m not like that, but I don’t know if I’m wearing the pants. Some days I’m dominant and other days I want to be treated like a little baby and it depends where I am.
“I really want someone who is able to take care of me the way I’ve taken care of people.”
Elsewhere on the podcast, Emily revealed that she had therapy to help her stop dating the wrong type of men before she met Harry.
She explained, “I was attracted to a specific type of partner before going into therapy. Now I feel like I’m not as attracted to that same type of person.
‘I don’t like many men. I don’t go on dates if I’m not sure. I can get the ick. I’ve found that men—at least the guys who are attracted to me—always say they like superwoman, a woman who’s successful and all that stuff.
“They say they want that. But when they are actually in the relationship, they start to get resentful.
“I’ll say, ‘I thought that’s what you liked about me, that I had such a big life?’ They are emasculated and outraged. That’s my experience across the board.
“I hope that won’t always be the case.”
Speaking of divorcing her ex-husband last June, Emily said the stress of it caused her weight to plummet to 100 lbs — just over seven stone.
She explained, “I got really thin because I wasn’t fine. I tried taking antidepressants because I was sure something was wrong with me.’
“From the moment we were born, women are taught to find a partner who completes you and we had just had a child so it was very hard for me to walk away,” she added.
“Having a child is a wild thing for your body. Everyone thought I recovered quickly, but I didn’t feel that way. I did lose a ton, but that was probably due to stress.
“It didn’t feel like my body. I think I just come back to myself and it’s a new body. There are things that are different after the baby.
‘I embrace that. It just won’t be the same. I weighed about 100 pounds after my breakup and now I’m 15 pounds heavier which is a lot on my body and it feels so nice to have a butt again and a great relationship with food.”

Emily and her ex-husband first split in the summer of 2022 amid allegations that Sebastian, 42, was a “serial cheater.”
Meanwhile, Harry and actress Olivia, 39, went their separate ways in November after discovering they had “different priorities that kept them apart.”
Olivia was last seen supporting Harry when she attended his Nov. 15 concert at LA’s Kia Forum, where she was accompanied by her two children.
In November, it was claimed that Olivia was “disappointed” that her relationship with Harry was not working out after nearly two years of dating.
