Emily Ratajkowski has firmly confirmed her current relationship status amid rife romance rumours centred around Hollywood actor Brad Pitt.
The 31-year-old supermodel announced she was "newly single" in a magazine interview after claims she was 'seeing' Brad but 'not officially dating him'.
She also recently appeared to come out as bisexual in a new TikTok video but admits she is "enjoying the freedom" of being relationship free.
Emily filed for divorce from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard last month and since then has been embroiled in romance rumours.
Now, she's set the record straight in a tell-all interview and admits she is "single... for the first time ever".
Speaking to Variety about her book The My Body, she said: "One of the things I write about in the last essay of the book is about control and kind of understanding that one of the best ways to actually be happy and have some semblance of control is letting go."
She added: "I'm newly single for basically the first time in my life ever, and I just feel like I'm kind of enjoying the freedom of not being super worried about how I'm being perceived."
Emily, who shares her one-year-old son Sylvester with her estranged husband, did not go into any more detail and didn't directly name Brad in the interview.
Despite this, a source recently claimed that she and Brad, 58, have been casually hanging out.
"Emily is putting herself out there and enjoys the company," the insider told E! news.
They added: "She's trying to keep busy and not focus on the divorce. Her and Brad met through mutual friends in the industry. It was causal and friendly."
She was married to Sebastian for four years and another insider told the outlet that Emily was "really bummed" about the whole ordeal.
They said: "[Emily is] really bummed about it for the sake of their son, but is trying to move forward and stay positive. She's taking it day by day."
Regarding Brad, one source told PageSix: "People have been speculating about this for a while.
"Brad is not dating anybody. They [Pitt and Ratajkowski] have been seen a couple times together."
The Hollywood insider said Pitt has "been seen with other people" in recent months and that he is not dating anyone in particular.
