How sexually-empowered Emily Ratajkowski’s love of app hook-ups & flings with boys AND girls won Harry Styles’ heart

SHE shot to fame after stripping for a Robin Thicke pop video, posed topless with pal Kim Kardashian and even appeared in a “post-sex” snap with a former lover.

Now Emily Ratajkowski has been spotted snogging singer Harry Styles on the streets of Japan — just two weeks after she hung out with his most recent beau, actress Olivia Wilde, at the Vanity Fair Oscars party.

A fan snapped the former One Direction star enjoying a steamy clinch with Emily in Tokyo where he was performing.

But to those who know 31-year-old Emily, not one of these things will come as shocking news.

The model, who split from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard in July, is fast becoming Hollywood’s most sexually empowered star — championing female nudity and bisexuality — and being refreshingly open about her love life.

And while lothario Harry, 29, has dated a string of stunning women — including Kendall Jenner, Taylor Swift and Victoria’s Secret model Sara Sampaio — he may have met his match in free-spirited Emily.

The London-born beauty wed Sebastian, 42, after a few dates in 2018, claiming it took just 30 seconds to make up her mind to marry him, and they share two-year-old son, Sylvester Apollo Bear.

But since the split, amid allegations the film producer was a “serial cheat”, Emily has enjoyed being “newly single for the first time in my life ever”, putting herself on celeb dating app Raya and kissing anyone she wants.

‘Grabbed and kissed him’

On one recent date with an unknown man, she revealed she made the first move because she wanted “to be kissed”.

She said: “I kind of grabbed him and kissed him,” before adding her date responded: “This is the kind of feminism I can get down with.”

After reportedly briefly dating Brad Pitt, she was seen kissing DJ Orazio Rispo in October before moving on to infamous ladies’ man Pete Davidson, an ex of her pal Kim Kardashian.

The pair were seen together on ­several dates, including at a New York Knicks basketball game, in November. “Pete and Emily have been talking for a couple of months now and they both really like each other,” a source revealed at the time.

Although she never spoke about the romance, she sang Pete’s praises while he was dating Kim, in 2021, saying: “Obviously women find him very attractive. He seems super-charming. He’s lovely. He looks good!”

But the romance with the 29-year-old comedian seemed to be over in December when Emily was seen ­kissing New York ­artist Jack Greer.

Later Emily appeared to take a swipe at Pete and Sebastian by ­saying she “attracts the worst men”.

She also claimed men feel “emasculated” by her success and start to resent her and “tear you down”.

Earlier this year, she moved on to US comedian Eric Andre, and on Valentine’s Day he shared a series of ­risque photos on his social media.

In one shot, which appears to be taken after a romp, he is seen lying naked on a couch holding a glass of wine while Emily, wearing only a bra, can be seen in the mirror behind taking the shot.

In a recent post on TikTok she hinted she had ended her “situationship” with Andre, and said the best thing to do was “find another one”.

But it’s not just men that the model mum is interested in — Emily’s apparent sexual awakening has also seen her seeking a “lady crush.”

In a frank interview in Harper’s Bazaar she said: “I think sexuality is on a sliding scale. I don’t really believe in straight people.”

In October, she noted a TikTok trend which suggested women who own a green couch are bisexual.

She said: “My girlfriend came over and was like, “Have you seen the green couch thing?” She was laughing because my green couch is so big.”

She then revealed she was hoping to find both men and women on ­elite dating app Raya when she signed up last year after a “glass of wine”.

“I was like, ‘f*** it’. I was feeling defiant because so many people told me not to get it,” she revealed on her podcast, High Low With EmRata.

She added that when people question why she is on the app, she replies: “I’m a woman, I’m a free, ­independent single woman”, adding: “I’ve got a few direct requests from women which is exciting.”

Although the newfound freedom means she is exploring her sexuality and new relationships, Emily has never been shy in putting forward her views on women’s bodies and their right to go naked.

In 2016, she leapt to the defence of her friend Kim Kardashian after the reality star caused a Twitter row by posting a naked selfie.

When Kim was slammed by stars including Chloe Moretz and Bette Midler, Emily tweeted “Her body, her career. Sexist bullshit.”

To drive the point home further she later posed with Kim in a topless selfie taken in a bathroom, with both women flipping their middle fingers.

Accompanying the snap, Emily wrote: “However sexual our bodies may be, we need to have the freedom as women to choose when and how we express our sexuality.”

Last year, Emily bravely called out the sexual abuse she claims to have suffered during her career in her book, My Body.

Publicly attacked

She accused singer Robin Thicke of groping her breasts on the set of his X-rated 2013 Blurred Lines video, which made her a household name, saying after the alleged assault she “felt naked for the first time that day”.

She also claimed to have been sexually assaulted by US photographer Jonathan Leder at a 2012 shoot, which he has denied.

While Emily has been enjoying post-split freedom, Harry too has a string of romances behind him with famous exes reportedly including models Kendall Jenner, Georgia Fowler, Nadine Leopold, and Sara Sampaio, as well as singers Taylor Swift and Nicole Scherzinger.

Emily and Harry’s public clinch comes after weeks of the pair growing closer, friends say.

And the PDA in a Tokyo car park follows soon after his romance with Emily’s actress pal Olivia.

Olivia, 39, met Harry on the set of 2022 movie Don’t Worry Darling, which she directed.

She split with partner Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis in 2020 but was later forced to clarify that her relationship with Harry had started afterwards.

In a recent interview, Emily defended Olivia, saying she felt “protective” of women who are publicly attacked.

“I’m in a place where, from my life experiences, what feels affirming and makes sense is really believing and forgiving women,” she told Elle magazine.

But while Olivia and Harry decided to take a break from their two-year romance in November, pals close to the actress said she found the split “difficult”.

Pictures of her friend Emily ­kissing ex Harry might be painful for Olivia — coming just two weeks after the two women spent time together at the Oscars.

But the romance between the two sexually liberated stars was perhaps inevitable — after Harry named Emily as his biggest celebrity crush eight years ago, in an interview that has resurfaced since the Tokyo pictures emerged.

However, with Emily firmly in the driving seat in recent relationships, it might be a case of be careful what you wish for.
