Eric André, 39, appeared to confirm his relationship with Emily Ratajkowski, 31, on February 14 when he posted two NSFW pictures of himself taken by the model.
The actress actually “broke up with Eric days before he posted that photo,” according to an insider close to Emily, who also claims that she had nothing to do with the posting.
In actuality, Emily didn’t publish or repost the picture on or around Valentine’s Day.
Eric claimed that Emily took the photo while he was “in the moment” in an interview with Rolling Stone that was published on March 14.
He recalled to the newspaper, “I was drinking wine, she started dying laughing, and she was like, ‘I have to take a picture of this.’”Fans were left in the dark about Emily and Eric’s relationship status in the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day. The two were frequently spotted together, including at a basketball game between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets on February 13.
But just when fans thought Cupid had struck, Emily posted a cryptic TikTok about a “situationship” coming to an end.
“What should you do when a situationship ends?” the model captioned her video on Feb. 18, which was scored by a quote about partying from 2019’s The Peanut Butter Falcon. “Start another one.”
And in a recent episode of her podcast, Emily—who was photographed spending time with Pete Davidson last fall—made it clear that she wasn’t looking for anything serious.
