Emily Ratajkowski is enjoying her freedom. The My Body author – who filed for divorce from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard – confirmed her relationship status while dismissing a question about her alleged romance with Brad Pitt. "One of the things I write about in the last essay of the book 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 told Variety in an interview. "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." While Emily has opted not to give more details about her dating life, a source told E! News last month that she and Brad, 58, have been casually hanging out. "Emily is putting herself out there and enjoys the company," the insider shared. "She's trying to keep busy and not focus on the divorce. Her and Brad met through mutual friends in the industry. It was causal and friendly."
