Emily Ratajkowski’s viral essay on sleeping her way around New York post-divorce to become a book —will she name names?
Emily Ratajkowski is shopping a book based on her viral essay for The Cut that reveals candid details about the end of her marriage and active love life afterwards, Page Six Hollywood has exclusively learned.

Publishing insiders told us on Tuesday about the planned book that will be based on the model’s candid essay titled, “Motherf–ker: After becoming a single mom, I spent several years compulsively dating. I was trying to figure out what kind of woman I wanted to be.”
The piece certainly hints at what could be a blockbuster book as a more modern “Sex and the City” in the “Call Her Daddy” and Tinx era from the author of the 2021 tome, “My Body.”
Ratajkowski doesn’t name names in The Cut essay. But a tome would likely spark an epic guessing game.
During her time being single, the model was allegedly linked to famous dudes including Brad Pitt, Pete Davidson, Eric Andre, Harry Styles and Shaboozey. She’d also been spotted out with Austin Butler, though sources said they were just friendly.
The book would also seemingly be a hot film project, and could shed further light on the star’s dramatic breakup from “Uncut Gems” producer Sebastian Bear-McClard as well as her subsequent romantic escapades and life lessons.
“Read what I discovered about power, men, sex and most importantly: myself,” the model posted on Instagram to her nearly 28 million followers to announce the essay last week before it blew up.
In the piece, filled with juicy anecdotes, Ratajkowski revealed that after her 2022 split from Sebastian Bear-McClard — and what had become a sexless marriage — she went into a period of “compulsive dating,” and, “decided to f–k my way into a new kind of woman,” while, “doing it for the plot” became her mantra.

She detailed her dalliances with a string of suitors, including an ineptly dirty-talking “Elder Millennial,” a “Vegan Graffiti Artist with impeccable posture,” the “Chef who thought he might have chlamydia,” a “Spanish Gen-Zer who couldn’t stop sending me nudes” and a “heavily self-medicated Son of a Billionaire with questionable politics,” as well as, “several Italians” and, of course, multiple DJs.
Post-separation, the newly single mom and model, 35, cast herself as a real-life villain character she called “sexual but scary,” and a drinker of many gin martinis on the dating scene. But after a spree of encounters, she later finds her edgy archetypal creation to be as much of a “silly game of performances with no substance” as when she’d been misguidedly “playing the good girl” in her 20s.
“Six months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex,” Ratajkowski wrote. “Less than a year later, we separated.” And, “Before my separation, I’d never had a one-night stand. I’d never slept with someone the same day I met them. In fact, I’d only slept with eight people: four of whom had been live-in boyfriends, and one of whom was my male best friend in high school.”
The essay explicitly details her subsequent sexual conquests: “I thought I’d get some great orgasms and a few funny stories on the way too,” the author recalls of the experience. EmRata also learns along the way that, “many men are turned on by motherhood,” while her female friends are turned on hearing about the anecdotes of sleeping with anyone besides their husbands.
The fact that she’s already penned a book, plus the booming viral numbers on The Cut essay and its racy content could be an enticing package for publishers who are increasingly looking at social media numbers as barometers for what to buy.
Said one top publishing source, “It sure seems like the story is still unfolding.” Stay tuned….
