Emily Ratajkowski is 35 years old in 2026, born June 7, 1991. From Blurred Lines to My Body and Inamorata, here is how old she is and what she has built.
Last updated: November 10, 2026 · By Nathan Cole
Emily Ratajkowski is 35 years old in 2026. She was born Emily O’Hara Ratajkowski on June 7, 1991, in Westminster, London, which means she turned 35 on June 7, 2026, and turns 36 on June 7, 2027. If a page you read this year still says 34, it is out of date: she turned 34 in June 2025 and left that number behind five months ago.
Thirty-five is a useful number for understanding where she stands. She has spent 21 of those years in public — a signed model at 14, a household name at 21 after one music video, a film actress at 23, a swimwear founder at 26, a bestselling author at 30, and a mother the same year. Her net worth is estimated at $8 million to $10 million, anchored at $8 million by Celebrity Net Worth, and she stands 5 feet 7 inches tall. This is the full picture, kept current to November 10, 2026: the birth date and the math, the London childhood and the San Diego move, the Blurred Lines years, the books, the brand, the marriage and the divorce, the money, and what she is doing now — including a seven-figure book deal signed in July 2026 and a screenwriting debut in development at Apple TV+.

How Her Age Was Verified
The birth date — June 7, 1991 — is consistent across every major biography source checked on November 10, 2026: TV Insider, MovieNCo, NextBiography (updated July 6, 2026), FamousIntel (updated August 19, 2026), and the November 2026 reporting in Hello Magazine and Parade, which both describe her as 35. The math is simple: 2026 minus 1991 is 35, and her birthday in June 2026 has already passed, so she is 35 for the rest of the year. The net-worth range in this article is handled the same way, with dated snapshots: Celebrity Net Worth puts her at $8 million as of its November 6, 2026 update, while several 2026 profiles land at $10 million. One tracker, PowerNetWorth, claims $25 million; no other major source supports that number, so this article treats it as an outlier and does not use it.

How Old Is Emily Ratajkowski in 2026?
Emily Ratajkowski is 35 years old. She was born on June 7, 1991, in Westminster, London, and she turned 35 on June 7, 2026. She will turn 36 on June 7, 2027.
The date matters because it pins down every other number in her story. She was 14 when she signed with Ford Models. She was 21 when “Blurred Lines” made her famous in March 2013. She was 23 when she made her film debut in Gone Girl in 2014. She was 26 when she founded her swimwear brand Inamorata in November 2017. She was 29 when she became a mother, and 30 when her essay collection My Body became a New York Times bestseller in 2021. At 35, she is working on four fronts at once: modelling, acting, writing, and running her own brand.
Her birthday falls on June 7, which makes her a Gemini. She celebrates it every year on the same date, and the 2026 birthday passed without the kind of public party that used to fill her social feeds — a quieter marker of a career that has shifted from being photographed to doing the photographing, the writing, and the producing.
Born in London, Raised in San Diego
Emily O’Hara Ratajkowski was born in Westminster, London, on June 7, 1991, to American parents who were teaching in England at the time. Her mother, Kathleen Anne Balgley, is a professor; her father, John David Ratajkowski, is a painter. Both were school teachers, and the household was academic and artistic in equal measure — books on the shelves, paint in the studio, and a child who grew up watching two adults make a living from ideas and images.
The family moved to San Diego when Emily was five. She grew up in Encinitas, a coastal town north of the city, and the move shaped her twice over: she kept the London birthplace on her biography, and she picked up the California ease that later became her modelling signature. She took her first acting role in a theatre school production as a child, and the stage gave her an early taste of performing in front of strangers.
San Diego also gave her the beach. She spent her teens on the California coast, and the swimwear she would later design for Inamorata came straight out of that upbringing — the fits, the fabrics, the insistence that swimwear should work for real bodies. The brand’s origin story starts here, in a childhood spent between a London birth certificate and a San Diego shoreline.
Signed at 14: The Teenage Model Years
Ratajkowski signed with Ford Models at 14. That is young even by modelling standards, and it meant her teens were split between school in California and castings in Los Angeles and New York. Her early work included campaigns for Guess, the denim and lingerie label that has launched dozens of modelling careers, and the kind of catalogue and editorial jobs that teach a teenager how a set works before the fame arrives.
She kept modelling through her late teens while trying acting on the side. The combination was deliberate: modelling paid, acting was the longer bet. By 20 she had the look, the book, and the patience for long days on set — all of which mattered when a three-minute music video changed everything a year later.
21: “Blurred Lines” and Overnight Fame
In March 2013, at 21, Ratajkowski appeared in the music video for Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines”, featuring Pharrell Williams and T.I. The video became one of the most talked-about clips of the decade, and she became its most recognisable face overnight. She was 21 years old, dancing in a black-and-white striped top, and within weeks her name was in every newspaper in Britain and America.
The fame arrived fast and it arrived with a cost. The video made her famous, and it also fixed her in the public mind as a single image. She spent the next decade pushing against that frame — writing about it, building businesses around it, and choosing roles that refused it. The same year she also appeared in Maroon 5’s “Love Somebody” video, and the two clips together gave her a calling card no casting director could ignore.
What the video actually paid is less clear than the fame it bought. Music-video fees for a featured model run into the low thousands, not the millions — the money came later, from the campaigns, the covers, and the acting roles that the video unlocked. The honest way to read 2013 is as an investment: three minutes of screen time that bought a career.
Gone Girl and the Film Career
Her film debut came in 2014, at 23, in David Fincher’s Gone Girl, where she played Andie Fitzgerald, the mistress of Ben Affleck’s character. It was a small role in a large film, and it did the job a debut is supposed to do: it put her on a serious set, with a serious director, and proved she could hold a scene with A-list actors. The same year she appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and the two bookings together — a Fincher film and a swimsuit cover — set the pattern of her twenties: high fashion and Hollywood, side by side.
The roles that followed kept her working without ever making her a full-time film star. She led the dance drama We Are Your Friends in 2015, at 24. She appeared in the Amy Schumer comedy I Feel Pretty in 2018, at 26, and in the thrillers Welcome Home and In Darkness the same year. In 2019, at 28, she took a small role in the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems, a film that has since become one of the most admired crime dramas of its decade.
The acting career never became the main income stream — modelling and business pay more, and more reliably — and she has been open about stepping back from acting around 2020, a period she has described as a turning point. She wrote a book instead, ran her brand instead, and came back to the screen only when the project was worth it. That return arrived in 2025.
The Return to Television: Too Much and the Apple TV+ Writing Debut
In 2025, at 34, Ratajkowski returned to scripted television in the Netflix romantic comedy Too Much, created by her longtime friend Lena Dunham. She played Wendy Jones in the ten-episode series, which starred Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe. The role mattered for two reasons: it was her first major scripted part in years, and it reunited her with Dunham, a collaborator who would shape her next move.
That next move is the most interesting project of her thirties. In August 2025 it was reported that she is developing an untitled television series for Apple TV+ with author Stephanie Danler, best known for the novel Sweetbitter. Ratajkowski is writing and executive producing the series, with Dunham executive producing and A24 serving as the studio. The show explores female identity and modern motherhood, and she is attached to star. It marks her screenwriting debut — the first time she has built a show from the page up rather than stepping into someone else’s.
The project is still in early development, with no confirmed cast beyond Ratajkowski, no official title, and no release date. That is normal for television at this stage, and the honest statement is that it may take years to reach a screen. What it already proves is a shift in how she works: at 35, she is moving from being cast to doing the casting, from being photographed to writing the story.
My Body: The Book That Changed the Conversation
In 2021, at 30, Ratajkowski published My Body, a collection of essays about beauty, power, and the business of being looked at. The book landed on the New York Times bestseller list, and it did something her modelling never could: it let her set the terms of the conversation about her own image. The essays drew on her experiences as a model and actress, including the Blurred Lines years, and they were praised for their candour about an industry that pays women for their faces and then punishes them for having opinions about it.
The book also became a second income stream — royalties, speaking, and the kind of cultural credibility that opens doors in publishing. In July 2026 she added to it, securing a reported seven-figure publishing deal with Penguin Press for her second book, a memoir reported under the title Motherfucker. A seven-figure deal means a payment of at least $1 million before a single copy sells, and Celebrity Net Worth’s November 6, 2026 update leads with the deal as the freshest money news of her career.
She also hosts the podcast High Low with EmRata, where she talks about culture, relationships, and social issues. The podcast, the book, and the essays form a single strand of her career: the writing strand, and the one that has grown fastest in her thirties.
Inamorata: Building Her Own Swimwear Brand
In November 2017, at 26, Ratajkowski launched Inamorata, her own swimwear line, co-founded with her best friend and fashion veteran Kat Mendenhall. The brand was self-funded, and it started small: three bikini separates and three one-pieces, priced from $75 to $160. It has since expanded into ready-to-wear, lingerie, and accessories, and it won her Fashion Entrepreneur of the Year from Daily Front Row — recognition for someone the industry had tried to limit to modelling alone.
The brand is the most durable business she owns. Modelling fees stop when the bookings stop; a brand she owns keeps selling. Inamorata is now approaching its tenth anniversary in 2027, and she still promotes it herself — in her own swimwear, on her own feed, to an audience that has followed her since the Blurred Lines days. The line has not been frictionless: fulfilment delays after a 2023 Black Friday sale drew customer complaints, and the brand acknowledged the delays and offered refunds. It resumed promoting new products afterwards, and its website continues to sell swimwear and clothing collections.
Her modelling career has stayed active alongside the brand. She appeared in Gucci’s 2026 “Beauty and the Bag” campaign with Kate Moss, walked in Gucci’s Fall 2026 show, modelled for KIKO Milano, and starred in Abercrombie & Fitch’s Fall 2026 denim campaign, photographed by Cass Bird. In March 2026 she returned to Dior’s front row after a nine-year absence. She has been an ambassador for the Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi since November 2024. The runway work at 35 is the point: in an industry that retires women early, she is still being booked by the biggest houses in fashion.
What Emily Ratajkowski Is Worth at 35
Emily Ratajkowski’s net worth in 2026 is estimated at $8 million to $10 million. Celebrity Net Worth, the most widely cited tracker, puts her at $8 million as of its snapshot updated on November 6, 2026. NextBiography, updated July 6, 2026, and BiographyWallah, from June 2026, agree on $8 million. InfoSeeMedia, updated June 15, 2026, and USA Celeb Hub put the figure at $10 million. The range reflects the honest uncertainty in every celebrity estimate: nobody outside her accountant sees the bank statements, so trackers build their numbers from reported fees, royalties, property records, and brand revenue — and different trackers weigh those inputs differently.
The full breakdown of Emily Ratajkowski’s net worth, including the July 2026 seven-figure book deal and the four income streams behind the estimate, is covered in depth by our sister site CelebAmerica. The money comes from four places: high-fashion modelling campaigns, film and television roles, the Inamorata brand she founded in 2017 and owns, and book royalties from My Body, with the podcast adding a fifth, smaller stream. The July 2026 Penguin Press deal, worth at least $1 million, is the newest of those streams and the one most likely to lift the estimate in the next update.
One number deserves a warning. PowerNetWorth claims $25 million, a figure published in May 2026 that no other major tracker supports. It appears to rest on projected yearly earnings of $3 million to $5 million and on real-estate holdings, but the property on record — the Echo Park house in Los Angeles she bought in 2018 for $2 million, a 1,650-square-foot home first listed at $1.595 million — does not support a $25 million total. This article treats the $25 million figure as an outlier and does not use it.
For scale, the estimate sits well below the supermodel tier above her: Naomi Campbell’s fortune is reported at $80 million, a figure built over four decades at the top of fashion. Ratajkowski’s $8 million to $10 million is the wealth of a working model-author-founder in her mid-thirties, not a legacy fortune — and the trajectory, with a book deal and a television series in development, points up rather than down.
Personal Life at 35: Motherhood, Divorce, and Dating
Ratajkowski married film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in a surprise New York City courthouse ceremony on February 23, 2018. She was 26. The couple bought the Echo Park house the same year, and on March 8, 2021, she gave birth to their son, Sylvester Apollo Bear. She was 29. In 2022, at 31, she filed for divorce, and the marriage ended that year. In a 2026 essay for The Cut, she reflected candidly on the downfall of the marriage following the arrival of her son.
Sylvester, known as Sly, is 5 years old in November 2026. Motherhood reshaped her career in visible ways: the book, the brand, and the move into writing all accelerated after his birth, and the Apple TV+ series she is developing takes modern motherhood as its subject. She has spoken about the change in her own terms, and the work now reflects it.
She is currently dating French filmmaker Romain Gavras. The couple went Instagram official in February 2026, and the relationship has been covered through the year in the celebrity press. She is not married as of 2026. Her parents remain part of the picture too: her mother the professor and her father the painter, the two teachers whose daughter turned a London birth and a San Diego childhood into a career with four income streams.
How Tall Is Emily Ratajkowski?
Emily Ratajkowski is 5 feet 7 inches tall (170 cm). The figure is consistent across biography sources, and it matters because it is slightly below the typical runway height of 5 feet 9 inches or more. She built a high-fashion career at 5 feet 7 inches on the strength of her face, her presence, and her commercial appeal — proof that the industry’s height rules bend for the right model.
Emily Ratajkowski’s Age Compared to Her Model Peers
Age reads differently in modelling than in most careers, because the industry has always prized youth. Ratajkowski at 35 is older than the new faces on the runway, and younger than the legends who still work. The comparison below puts her beside the peers readers ask about most, with their ages as of November 2026.
| Model | Age in 2026 | Born |
|---|---|---|
| Emily Ratajkowski | 35 | 7 June 1991 |
| Gigi Hadid | 31 | 23 April 1995 |
| Kendall Jenner | 31 | 3 November 1995 |
| Bella Hadid | 30 | 9 October 1996 |
| Kaia Gerber | 25 | 3 September 2001 |
The table shows the real story of her age. Gigi Hadid, four years younger, is 31 in 2026; Kendall Jenner, also born in 1995, is 31; Bella Hadid is 30; and Kaia Gerber, the youngest of the group, is 25. Ratajkowski is the oldest of the five, and she is also the one with the most varied career — the only one with a bestselling book, a swimwear brand, and a television series in development. The age gap is real, and so is the career gap: she has spent the years since Blurred Lines building businesses that do not depend on her age at all.
Why Some Sites Still Say She Is 34
Search for Emily Ratajkowski’s age and you will still find pages that say 34. They are not wrong about the birth date — they are wrong about the calendar. A page written before June 7, 2026, that says 34 was correct when it was written, and it became stale the day she turned 35. Biography sites update on different schedules, and some update only when a new project gives them a reason to touch the page.
The fix is simple: check the birth date, not the age on the page. June 7, 1991, plus a birthday that has already passed in 2026, equals 35. Any page that lists 34 in November 2026 has not been updated since June, and any page that lists 33 is two years out of date. This article was researched on November 10, 2026, and the age will stay 35 until June 7, 2027.
