Summary
- Emily Ratajkowski believes men are attracted to single mothers.
- She discovered this during her 'compulsive dating' phase post-divorce.
- Ratajkowski felt fearful of being a single mother but found the opposite.

Emily Ratajkowski has revealed her belief that men are attracted to single mothers, a notion that emerged during her post-divorce dating period. After separating from film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022, Ratajkowski began dating compulsively and found that the concept of motherhood, often associated with self-sacrifice, was appealing to some men.
She admitted to previously fearing the prospect of becoming a single mother, viewing it as a potential ruin to a woman's life. However, her experiences led her to discover the opposite, challenging the idea that single mothers might be 'unlovable.'
Ratajkowski's essay for The Cut also details her 'violent transition' into motherhood with her son Sylvester, born in 2020, and the subsequent collapse of her marriage. She described her divorce as her 'villain origin story,' and her dating persona as 'sexual but scary.'
