Emily Ratajkowski Has ‘Zero Straight Men' In Her Life That Don't Serve a Specific Role
In a new interview with Elle UK, Ratajkowski declared she has 'zero straight men' in her life that fit that description. 'I still like men,' the 24-year-old model and actor told the publication. 'I just have zero straight men in my life, unless they're a romantic interest."
She continued, 'In the hierarchy of needs, that's at the top of the pyramid, which is nice. [Men are] pleasure and fun, but not a part of my core. The rest of my life is community with other women and queer people, and being a mom.'
Ratajkowski shares her four-year-old son, Sylvester Apollo Bear, with her former husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard. Following her divorce in 2022, she spent some time 'enjoying the freedom' of single life before jumping back into the dating scene. She was quickly linked with multiple A-list bachelors, eventually declaring that she attracts the 'worst' men during an episode of her podcast, High Low With EmRata.
Now she says 'not centering men is wonderful,' adding, 'In general, in our world, men have somehow filed this space, but what I found instead of it is community.'

'Congratulations…congratulations.'
That community includes longtime friend Lena Dunham, who wrote a part for the Gone Girl star in her upcoming Netflix series, Too Much—Ratajkowski's first significant acting role since 2019. 'I don't agree to a lot of offers,' she said. 'I really value control. In my 20s, I didn't have a lot of it in my career. Now, I like making things and I like not being an addition to them. With Lena, I got to shape the character so much, which was really fun. It gave me a bigger role than just an actor for hire.'
According to Elle UK, Ratajkowski's character, Molly, is 'the model/influencer rebound girlfriend of the lead's ex-boyfriend.' Though the part was written for Ratajkowski—and with her input—it doesn't sound as if it's about her, especially not the woman she is at 34 years old.
'I'm fascinated with this decade of my life,' Ratajkowski says of her 30s. 'My mom had me at 39, and I remember she always romanticized her 30s as a time of self-exploration and power as a woman. I'm in the midst of it and really feel that way too.'

‘Coyote vs. Acme' Finally Reveals a Release Date at Comic-Con
If the long, twist-filled 'Coyote vs. Acme' fight for a release was 'It's a Wonderful Life,' then Ketchup Entertainment would be all the townspeople at the end (79-year-old spoiler) chipping in to make sure George Bailey doesn't go under. That's as far as the analogy goes, though film fans can easily guess who is Mr. Potter in this scenario. Regardless, the townspeople have won the day, and 'Coyote vs. Acme' is indeed on its way — finally — with a theatrical release set for August 28, 2026. To sum things up as quickly as possible: the $70 million live-action/animated movie was one of a few (paging 'Batgirl') that were shelved in 2023 as tax write-offs for Warner Bros. (to the tune of $30 million), even though the movie had tested well. After a fan outcry, the film was put up for sale to other studios… but then it quickly was dead in the water again, when nobody met the price WB wanted. A cast and crew funeral screening was even held for the movie. It was dead. George Bailey was going to jump off the bridge. More from IndieWire How 'Oh, Hi!' Makes Doomscrolling Funny What If 'The Virgin Suicides' Felt More Like a Cursed Object? Try the Feverish 'Honeycomb' for Summer Enter Clarence- eh… 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Toons Movie,' which Ketchup distributed, though it was only set for a streaming HBO Max (or Max at the time) release. They then made a deal earlier this year for 'Coyote vs. Acme,' which the film's star Will Forte expressed relief over earlier this year, telling THR, 'I never thought it would happen so it just came out of nowhere and I'm so thrilled,' he said. 'Thank you Ketchup Entertainment, I'm so excited for people to see this movie. I'm gonna promote the crap out of it, just tell me what you want me to do and I'll go, I'll do whatever — go to the top of Mount Everest, I'm there.' So the film's San Diego Comic-Con panel, to say the least, was hotly anticipated. And Ketchup did not disappoint. 'This movie wasn't suppose to come out,' panel moderator Paul Scheer said (via Deadline). 'I heard Warner Bros wouldn't release the film — I've never heard of Warner Bros! This is really an Acme decision and I'm saying that for legal purposes.' The even had 'an Acme lawyer' appear, attempting to halt the film's release. 'These are cease and desist papers from the Acme Corporation. You do not have permission to share information and footage from this anti-Acme film. Please leave the stage,' the performer said, then addressed a cosplaying audience member, 'As a copyrighted costume, sir, please disrobe.' May the other shelved Warner Bros. properties — which also includes another animated film 'Scoob! Holiday Haunt' — one day find such a rebirth. Until then, they await discovery at the Island of Misfit Toys. But that is another analogy for another day. Until then, check out 'Coyote vs. Acme' in theaters August 28, 2026.

We will fight it together… as a family.' – Invisible Woman Welcome to the family. Marvel Studios is set to introduce its First Family in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, a stylish, 1960s-inspired reboot that blends retro-futurism with thrilling superhero adventure. Set in an alternate Earth, the film introduces the Fantastic Four as they come together to face cosmic threats like Galactus and the Silver Surfer, while balancing their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond. Sue Storm, aka Invisible Woman, is the emotional and intellectual backbone of the team. Sue is not only a brilliant scientist and expectant mother, but also the strategic team leader who holds her family and mission together amidst chaos. As the 'most emotionally intelligent person on the planet', Sue's ability to blend compassion with strength and lead with her force-field and invisibility powers makes her the anchor of the Fantastic Four. Hot Toys is proud to present the 1/6th scale Invisible Woman Collectible Figure. The figure features a newly developed head with rolling eyeballs and meticulously sculpted icy-blonde hair to reflect Vanessa Kirby's likeness. She is dressed in her retro-futuristic Fantastic Four uniform with a coordinating belt and boots. The figure offers nine pieces of both gloved and ungloved interchangeable hands, allowing collectors to showcase her in relaxed stances or ability-using poses. Accessories include a translucent holographic force-field effect to recreate her energy shields, a baby Franklin Richards with slightly articulated limbs and nestled in a cradle covered by a removable lid, and a specially designed figure stand. A Special Edition only available in selected markets will include a specially designed The Fantastic Four: First Steps metal collectible card with display case. Complete the Fantastic Four: First Steps lineup by adding Invisible Woman to your collection, because every team needs leadership and a mother's love.
