On Thursday, in a new interview with theLos Angeles Times, the model-actress-host opens up about her current dating life after her recent split from her husband of four years,Sebastian Bear-McClard.
She tells the outlet that while she’s more comfortable saying “no” to men, it’s not as simple as that. “I think a part of me is still scared of men,” she shared.
She’s recently been living through what she describes as one of the “most traumatic experiences of [her] entire life,” likely referring to her recent breakup with Bear-McClard as well as the recentmisconduct allegationsbrought against him.

The outlet reported that the producer recruited a 17-year-old woman via Instagram to act in aGood Timescene that required her to be naked.
Varietydid not identify the source of that information, though it noted that it had obtained a statement that the woman, now 24, had made in connection with a legal dispute involving Bear-McClard. The outlet also said it spoke with “more than a dozen sources familiar with Bear-McClard’s behavior.”
PEOPLE has not independently verifiedVariety’s report, and representatives for Bear-McClard and Ratajkowski did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
The model didn’t directly answer any of theLA Times' questions about her rumored relationship with Styles, instead explaining that she was keeping quiet for the sake of her custody agreement with Bear-McClard with whom she shares 2-year-old sonSylvester Apollo Bear.
“I’m scared,” she said. “I’m learning that outspoken women don’t often get their children.”

The supermodel also shared some vulnerability in the interview, admitting that she recently had to ask the man she was dating if he thought she was pretty. The unidentified guy, who theLATimessuggested is Eric André, talked about how gorgeous other women were but never mentioned her looks.
“So I said, ‘What do you think of me?'” she told the outlet. “And he was like, ‘Are you serious? You’re a famous model.’ I was like, ‘Wow, you don’t get it.’ I need to know that you are specifically attracted to me.”
