Emily Ratajkowski has sold her book — “MOTHER F*CKER,” based on her viral essay for The Cut — to Penguin Press, Page Six Hollywood has exclusively learned.
The tome — which features candid details about the supermodel’s sex life after the end of her marriage — has landed a deal for seven figures following a 12-way bidding war between publishers, insiders tell us.
The model author’s candid essay for New York Magazine’s fashion site was titled, “MOTHER F*CKER: After becoming a single mom, I spent several years compulsively dating. I was trying to figure out what kind of woman I wanted to be.”

Ratajkowski previously authored the 2021 tome, “My Body.”
Ratajkowski doesn’t name names in the Cut essay. But the upcoming book will likely spark an epic guessing game. While single, the model was allegedly linked to stars including Brad Pitt, Pete Davidson, Eric Andre, Harry Styles and Shaboozey. She’d also been spotted out with Austin Butler.
“Read what I discovered about power, men, sex and most importantly: myself,” the model posted on Instagram to her nearly 28 million followers before her essay blew up online, leading to the book deal.

The book sold in a bidding war, we hear.
We exclusively reported that Ratajkowski was turning the piece into a spicy memoir.
In The Cut piece, filled with juicy anecdotes, Ratajkowski, 35, revealed that after her 2022 split from her ex, Sebastian Bear-McClard — and what had become a sexless marriage — she went into a period of “compulsive dating,” and “decided to f–k my way into a new kind of woman.”
The model then detailed dalliances with a string of suitors, including an ineptly dirty-talking “Elder Millennial,” a “Vegan Graffiti Artist with impeccable posture,” a “Chef who thought he might have chlamydia,” a “Spanish Gen-Zer who couldn’t stop sending me nudes” and a “heavily self-medicated Son of a Billionaire with questionable politics,” as well as “several Italians” and, of course… multiple DJs.

“Before my separation, I’d never had a one-night stand,” the single mom wrote in her essay. “I’d never slept with someone the same day I met them. In fact, I’d only slept with eight people: four of whom had been live-in boyfriends, and one of whom was my male best friend in high school.”
The author recalled of her serial dating experience: I thought I’d get some great orgasms and a few funny stories on the way too.”
Certainly seems like the plan worked!
