Emily Ratajkowski teaches fans the correct way to say her name - and we all had it wrong

Emily Ratajkowski has shared the real way to pronounce her surname, after fans have been getting it wrong for years.

The 31-year-old model taught people how to say her last name "the Polish way" in a now-viral TikTok video shared by Tory Burch.

Emily's name is often pronounced with the "j", which is an Americanised pronunciation.

In the new clip, Emily sat in a makeup chair wearing a casual navy tracksuit. She wore colourful clips to keep her hair tied back as her makeup artist made some final touches.

The interviewer then asked: "How do you pronounce your last name?"

Emily replied: "Rah-tah-kove-ska. That's the Polish."

Over the top of the video, fashion brand Tory Burch wrote: "Case closed!"

Many Slavic surnames change based on the person's gender. This means a man in her family would be 'Ratajkowski' while a woman might be 'Ratajkowska'.

This latest video comes after Emily went Instagram official with comedian Eric Andre as the pair posed for two completely nude pictures together.

In an Instagram post shared by Eric, Emily bared all as she posed in nothing but a sheer pink bra while snapping a picture of her 39-year-old beau lying on a couch completely naked.

Eric had a glass of red wine in his hand and his clothes had been flung across the floor. Emily, 31, could be seen in the mirror behind him.

To protect his modesty, the comedian added a strategically placed pink heart emoji.

In the first snap, Eric jokingly makes a shushing sign with his finger over his mouth, while he ran his hands through his hair in the second photo.

Captioning the Instagram post, Eric wrote: "Happy Valentine's Day," adding a string of heart emojis.

He also shared the photo on his Instagram Story, writing over it: "Happy Black History Month."

The pair were later spotted heading out for dinner together in New York City.

Eric was spotted arriving at Emily's apartment with a huge bouquet of flowers in tow. The pair then left together as they went out for a romantic meal.

Emily wore a black minidress and knee-high boots, which she paired with a light green jacket. Eric opted for floral-covered white pants and a red button-down shirt.
