In A Valentine’s Day Miracle, Emily Ratajkowski And Eric André Are Dating
Well, it looks like the phenomenon of comedians punching well above their weight is back in full swing this year, as Emily Ratajkowski confirms she’s dating Eric André.
Another instance of the ‘Pete Davidson effect’ has struck after the longstanding rumours of a budding romance between model Emily Ratajkowski and comedian Eric André were confirmed by a risqué Valentine’s Day post.
André, the creator and host of the eponymous Adult Swim talk show The Eric André Show, wished his Instagram followers a happy Valentine’s Day with a NSFW pic of his rig splayed out over a couch while holding a glass of red wine.
But then the penny dropped, with one user quickly commenting “wait is that @emrata in the back?”

Sure enough, a half-nude Ratajkowski can be seen snapping the pic of Andre’s junk in the background, finally giving credence to rumours the pair have been dating since January after being papped at a basketball game together.
Ratajkowski, who briefly dated Pete Davidson after his split with Kim Kardashian, has given the internet plenty to talk about as Twitter struggles to reconcile what this news actually means for modern dating culture.

As a beneficiary of the Eric Andre technique of being funny enough that absurdly hot babes will like you, I respect and enjoy this coupling

But for me, this development confirms a darker truth: maybe we’re all living in an endless episode of Seinfeld? Because we truly haven’t experienced such a dating equilibrium shake-up since Jerry Seinfeld created a sitcom just to normalise picky comedians dating women way out of their league.
