Emily Ratajkowski has been ‘dating’ Harry Styles for two months if a podcast recorded before a video of them kissing went viral is anything to go by.

Last month, the model, 31, and singer, 29, were seen passionately kissing near a car while dancing together on a street in Tokyo.

Now it has been revealed that prior to the video emerging, the Gone Girl star appeared on the Going Mental with Eileen Kelly podcast and hinted that they had been dating for a few months.

In the episode released on March 9, Kelly revealed that she had been dating a lot but was getting put off so she wanted to focus on being single for a while.

Responding to Kelly’s take, Ratajkowski then tellingly shared: “I just started dating someone that I kind of ‘like like’ so that feels different.

“But yes, if you’d have talked to me like four weeks ago I would have been like, ‘Absolutely’.”

Divulging more about her new romance without giving away who the mystery man was, Ratajkowski continued: “I just am like, ‘Oh well, he’s kind of great’.”

She also shared that she wants to date someone who “has more of their own confidence and life”, having in the past had to deal with partners who have been “resentful” and “emasculated” by her “big life”.

Adding what she looks for in a partner, Ratajkowski said: “I look for good-hearted people, people who are thoughtful, people who have good politics, people who are funny.”

During the interview, the star said she was single for the “first time ever basically” as she described having boyfriends “since [she] was 14”.

The Standard has contacted Ratajkowski’s rep for comment.

Ratajkowski split from her filmmaker husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, 34, last year. The pair share two-year-old son Sylvester Apollo Bear.

She was recently dating comedian Eric Andre and posted a photograph of them together while semi-nude on Valentine’s Day. However, she hinted at the end of the “situationship” three days later.

Ratajkowski attended Styles’ concert in Paris last July and was seated alongside his ex Olivia Wilde. She recently hung out with the Booksmart director at the Vanity Fair Oscars party.
