All lovers Emily Ratajkowski has been with since divorce as she steps out with famous boyfriend
Emily Ratajkowski and her famous fella look ridiculously loved up while enjoying a romantic getaway in Rome.
The model and mother-of-one has candidly discussed her bitter divorce with Sebastian Bear-McClard since they split in 2022, and her fears of delving back into dating.
But she's proved that putting yourself back out there is worth the risk, as she looks smitten with her new man Romain Gavras.
Ratajkowski, 35, was seen wandering the streets of Rome with the French filmmaker in recent days, along with her five-year-old son Sylvester who she shares with her ex-husband.

The pair packed on the PDA as they explored the Italian capital on Wednesday (2 September), which comes months after she made their romance public knowledge with a social media post.
Back in February, Ratajkowski debuted her new relationship by sharing a series of sweet pictures to Instagram of her and Gavras.
He's a big name in the film industry, but he's also recognisable to many as he's been on the arm of a few famous women before him and Ratajkowski became an item.
The 45-year-old, from Paris, previously dated pop stars Dua Lipa and Rita Ora.
His latest romance with Ratajkowski marks her most significant relationship since she divorced actor and producer Bear-McClard, which led her to dive back in the dating pool at full force.
She previously spoke about how she was initially nervous to do so as a single mother, before deciding she wanted to 'f**k her way into a new kind of woman'.
Ratajkowski and ex-husband 'stopped having sex' before split
In a candid essay for The Cut that was published in June, she detailed some of the turmoil she faced while married to Bear-McClard from 2018.
"My marriage collapsed," she wrote. "Six months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex. Less than a year later, we separated."
The pair finalised their divorce in July 2025.
Ratajkowski went onto explain that she had never had a one-night stand prior to her separation and had 'only slept with eight people', four of whom had been 'live-in boyfriends'.
She admitted that this stemmed from her desire to be 'precious' and a so-called 'good girl', adding: "Keeping my body count low was insurance. I thought it meant no one would ever cheat on me, that I’d always be loved, happy, and safe. None of that had turned out to be true."
In the very honest essay, the model then listed some of the men she had slept with in wake of her divorce.
Reeling off some characteristics about her romantic partners, Ratajkowski wrote: "There was Vegan Graffiti Artist with impeccable posture, Chef who thought he might have chlamydia, Spanish Gen-Zer who couldn’t stop sending me nudes, heavily self-medicated Son of a Billionaire with questionable politics, several Italians, and, of course, another DJ. The list goes on but, for legal reasons, will not.
"And then there was the Elder Millennial: obsessed with dental hygiene, psychedelics, and dirty talk."
She said she learned a lot during this period of sexual exploration, including that 'many men are turned on by motherhood' and that 'the more she seemed not to need a man, the more desperately he needed her'.
Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard were only together for a matter of weeks before he popped the question. They then got hitched shortly afterwards in February 2018, before their son was born in March 2021.
