Nothing says ‘Valentine’s Day’ like celebrities posting fully naked (and slightly censored) photos on Instagram to officially reveal their relationship. This honor today goes to comedian Eric André and model Emily Ratajkowski, who have been spotted together around New York City recently, but took to André’s Instagram in minimal/no clothing to hard launch their couple status for a photo taken by Ratajkowski that went up on André’s account.
In the post, André is sprawled out on a small sofa—sans any clothing, covered up only with a 💘 emoji—while Ratajkowski takes a photo aimed at the mirror just behind him. “💘 💘💘💘💘Happy Valentine’s Day 💘💘💘💘💘,” he wrote in a caption on the post.
André is known for his fearless and absurdist brand of comedy, so throwing his clothes all across the floor and posing completely naked with a glass of wine in his hand is a perfectly on-brand way to announce to the world that he’s now in a new romantic relationship.
The post had no shortage of entertaining celebrity comments. Rapper Killer Mike wrote “That Boy Ball’N!!!! 😂😂😂😂,” while comedian Nikki Glaser wrote “Hell yes.” Music producer Benny Blanco joked with André, saying “remove the arrow or delete this,” before adding “wait is that @emrata in the back?”
The couple has been seen together in recent months by paparazzi, and were spotted courtside at Madison Square Garden for the February 13th NBA game between the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets.
André and Ratajkowski have both dated other celebrities before; André was in a relationship with actress Rosario Dawson between 2016 and 2017, while Ratajkowski filed for divorce from her husband, actor and producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, last fall and has since dated and broken up with Pete Davidson.
