Em Ratajkowski responds to Brad Pitt dating rumour

The celeb dating rumour mill has been in overdrive lately, with whispers Brad Pitt and Em Ratajkowski are secretly linked.

Emily Ratajkowski has clarified that she is still single amid rumours that she’s dating actor Brad Pitt.

The model, 31, discussed her split from Sebastian Bear-McClard in a Variety interview published on Wednesday, saying she is learning to “let go”.

“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,” the My Body author told the outlet.

“One of the things I write about in the last essay of (My Body) 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 continued.

While Ratajkowski has yet to address the rumours that she’s been spending time with the 58-year-old actor, sources tell Page Six the pair are keeping things under wraps amid his nasty custody battle with Angelina Jolie.

“Brad has quietly dated the last couple of years. He worries that (Angelina) Jolie will badmouth him to their kids, more than she already has, if he has a serious girlfriend,” an insider told the publication last month.

Although the two A-list actors have finalised their divorce since their 2016 split, they’re still fighting over custody of their kids, are embroiled in a $250 million lawsuit over their French winery, and are facing allegations of domestic abuse.

Pitt and Jolie share six children: Maddox, 21, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 16, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 14.

Ratajkowski, who recently came out as bisexual, filed for divorce from the producer earlier this year amid rumours of his infidelity – which sources confirmed to Page Six, claiming Bear-McClard is a “serial cheater”.

The two tied the knot after two months of dating in 2018 and share a one-year-old son, Sylvester Apollo Bear.

Despite the fact that Ratajkowski and Pitt have been seen out together a few times, sources say they are not officially dating – yet.

A source told OK! magazine in late August that Pitt, “asked her out, and she said yes. She’s always thought Brad was cute, and the way she saw it, what did she have to lose?”

While reps for Pitt denied that the pair were an item shortly after, Page Six sources say “stay tuned”.
