Private life

There is no ranking of sexiest women that doesn't include Emily Ratajkowski. However, the lack of inhibitions in showing herself naked caused quite a few headaches for the model and actress, who, like other showbiz stars, was the victim of a theft of private photos in 2014.

As for the supermodel's love life, Emily Ratajkowski has previously been linked to music producer Jeff Magid. The relationship, which began in 2014, ended four years later. In 2018 Emily Ratajkowski married actor Sebastian Bear-McClard after a brief engagement: the announcement was made by Ratajkowski herself on her Instagram profile. In 2021 the couple announces the birth of their first child, Sylvester Apollo.

Emily Ratajkowski has attracted acclaim and criticism not only because - or thanks to - her nude photographs. Self-proclaimed feminist, the model and performer underlined that women have the right to show their bodies and their sexuality as they see fit, raising a wave of controversy but also consensus.

Her protest positions against the law banning abortion in Alabama and the photos published on “Harper's Bazaar UK” in which Ratajkowski shows herself with unshaved armpits as an invitation to women to show their ideal of uncensored femininity have caused an equal stir.
