Emily Ratajkowski (31) solves a big mystery! In the fashion industry, the name of the top model has long been inevitable. Most recently, however, she made headlines with her love life: After the recent divorce from her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard (35), the beauty tied up with comedian Pete Davidson (29). Now she caught the next comedian: with nude photos, she confirmed her flirtation with actor Eric André (39) on Valentine’s Day. But what is often wrong with all the talk about her? Few know how to pronounce Emily’s last name correctly! Now she’s doing it…
A video has gone viral on TikTok in which the 31-year-old is interviewed. Among other things, Emily is asked to say her last name and clarifies: The “J” in Ratajkowski is silent – in addition, her name is actually pronounced with an “A” at the end instead of an “I”. Because the beauty was born in London and grew up in the USA – but she has Polish roots through her father’s ancestors. And in Poland, spoken women’s surnames get the feminine suffix “A”.
Many fans are embarrassed in the comments because They always mispronounced Emily’s last name! “I used to call her Emily RataJkowski and now I feel like an idiot,” noted one user. Another pointed out, “Okay, I just always called them completely different!”
