'He's kind of great': Emily Ratajkowski professes her love for Harry Styles after two months of secretly dating him

Emily Ratajkowski said, 'I'm hoping that dating someone that has more of their own life will prevent the issues I had before'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Emily Ratajkowski reportedly admitted she has been secretly dating Harry Styles for two months, even going so far as to confess that he could be "the one." The 31-year-old supermodel revealed during a candid and wide-ranging chat about her love life that she has been seeing the 29-year-old crooner since early February.

Ratajkowski, who said she hopes their romance is long-term, made the comments on a podcast recorded on March 9, just two weeks before she made headlines for publicly making out with Styles in Japan on March 25. "I just started dating someone that I think I like, so that is different. I was like, 'He's kind of great,'" Ratajkowski said during an appearance on the 'Going Mental with Eileen Kelly' podcast.

'I like someone that is very independent'

Ratajkowski further said, "But if you had been talking to me four weeks ago, absolutely, I would be seeing someone and then suddenly the way he would walk would be like, ugh." She added, "What do I look for in a partner? I like someone that is very independent. I think, for me, that's very important because I do have a full life. I'm hoping that dating someone that has more of their own life will prevent the issues I had before."

Viral kiss

MEAWW previously reported how the brunette bombshell was filmed passionately kissing the 'As It Was' hitmaker last week after a gig on the latest leg of his 'Love On Tour' concerts. A passerby caught the pair getting cozy as they leaned against a silver people carrier, taking cover from the rain. Styles donned a shirt and dark suit while his girlfriend wore a hot pink bomber jacket as she held his hand and caressed his face. Just hours later, at around 6 am that morning, Styles was spotted taking a walk through the alleys of Tokyo with his pal Kiko Mizuhara, who is said to be dating John Carroll Kirby.

Emily admitted just weeks before the incident that getting caught on camera was an unending concern for both her and the person she is dating. Following her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard, she has been romantically linked to comedian Pete Davidson and actor Brad Pitt. She was also spotted in public with comedian Eric Andre during an apparent Valentine's date. She later hinted on social media that the "situationship" had ended.

'It's hard to avoid what people say online'

Ratajkowski explained how difficult it was to constantly be under the spotlight. "It's hard to avoid what people say online," she admitted to podcaster Eileen Kelly. "I'll read stuff on Twitter or, when I am on set, people will say, 'I saw that thing," Ratajkowski added. She continued, "It's hard to casually date. Every time I am photographed with someone – that's happened even when I've only seen them a couple of times."

Ratajkowski further added, If you are dating multiple people at the same time, it's pretty brutal when they wake up and are like, 'I've only been seeing you for two days.' Not that I need to worry about them, but it made it very complicated and gave me a lot of anxiety." She continued, "That part of it has been hard but otherwise, it's been fun. I will be like, 'Sure, I'll go to dinner, why not?'"

It's worth noting that Styles and his girlfriend of two years, Olivia Wilde, parted ways in November. In February, it was reported that the singer had moved on with someone else, albeit the mystery woman wasn't identified. Meanwhile, Ratajkowski filed for divorce from her producer husband Bear-McClard in September. They have a two-year-old son together, named Sylvester, the Daily Mail reported.
