Emily Ratajkowski addresses kiss with Harry Styles as she admits she feels for Olivia Wilde

Emily Ratajkowski has finally addressed that viral kiss between herself and Harry Styles in Tokyo last month.

The 31-year-old model and podcast host - who found herself single last year after splitting from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard - has been open about her dating journey and single life.

Previously being linked to Pete Davidson and Eric Andre, just last month Ratajkowski was filmed kissing Styles, 29, in Japan.

The former One Directioner is recently single following his split from actress and director Olivia Wilde (after almost two years together), who herself is in the midst of a custody dispute with ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis over their two children.

Ratajkowski touched upon the kiss in a recent interview with Vogue Spain, where she admitted she was shocked when the kiss went as viral as it did.

"I didn't expect this to happen but I think, in general, there's a reason certain celebrities live in LA, hire security, don't go to public restaurants, etc," she said, per a translation.

The mother-of-one was also asked whether there was any subsequent drama between herself and Wilde following the leaked video - at which point Ratajkowski referenced the public reaction to Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine's cheating scandal last year.

"These approaches occur over and over again. I did a TikTok talking about it when the Adam Levine case came to light. All my algorithm[s] on this social network showed content focused on slut-shaming a 23-year-old girl," the My Body author noted, referring to the intense online trolling experienced by the young woman who had the alleged affair with father-of-three Levine - who didn't appear to receive half as much public vitriol.

"I was frustrated with the way in which an attack narrative was being established on this girl, instead of asking what happens to the person who is in a relationship and as such has contracted obligations. In the case you ask[ed] me about, it's more of the same. I feel bad for Olivia, because she has had to suffer this situation on several occasions," the model continued.

Ratajkowski denied the existence of any sort of confrontation with Wilde. "That's how it is. Just an unfortunate issue," she told Vogue. She did open up about dating in the spotlight, however - something she has been transparent about in the past. "It's very bizarre to have certain experiences and then have the whole world know about them and comment on them."I'm just a person who's gone from a three-year relationship to a four-year relationship, so this is the first time in a long time that I've been in a dating stage. The interest there is in that particular area is very strange. Not that I'm surprised, but it's a tiny slice of my life. Most of my life is focused on my son and my work. But I guess these issues don't inspire the same flashy headlines. The invasion of private aspects is very hard for me," she added.
