Celebrities have found a unique way to celebrate Valentine’s Day by posting explicit and partially censored photos on Instagram to officially announce their relationships. Comedian Eric André and model Emily Ratajkowski are the latest to do so, having been spotted together around New York City recently. The couple took to André’s Instagram to post a revealing photo, taken by Ratajkowski, which confirms their relationship status.
In the image, André is depicted lying on a small sofa, completely nude except for a 💘 emoji covering his private parts, 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 recognized for his daring and unconventional style of comedy, which makes it entirely fitting for him to announce his new romantic relationship in a provocative and outrageous way. By posing fully nude with a glass of wine in his hand, and scattering his clothes all over the floor, André stays true to his brand.
The Instagram post sparked a slew of amusing comments from other celebrities. Rapper Killer Mike exclaimed, “That Boy Ball’N!!!! 😂😂😂😂,” while comedian Nikki Glaser cheered, “Hell yes.” Music producer Benny Blanco playfully teased André, suggesting that he remove the arrow in the picture, before questioning whether the woman in the background was Emily Ratajkowski.
The couple has been spotted together by paparazzi in recent months, and were seen courtside at Madison Square Garden for the NBA game between the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets on February 13th.

Both André and Ratajkowski have been in relationships with other celebrities in the past. André was in a relationship with actress Rosario Dawson from 2016 to 2017, while Ratajkowski was previously married to actor and producer Sebastian Bear-McClard. She filed for divorce from him last fall and has since dated and ended things with comedian Pete Davidson.
