“I love a divorce story,” Ratajkowski, 31, confessed during the Monday, January 30, episode of her “High Low” podcast. “I don’t think divorce is a sad thing.”
The model’s guest, Tommy Dorfman, then asked what she did with her ring following her 2022 breakup. “I still have it,” she replied, revealing that “every time I hear a divorce story or when I see the news, I have to remind myself, ‘Oh that’s sad.’ I literally say to people, ‘Good for you.’”

The former 13 Reasons Why star, 30, acknowledged that her own divorce from Peter Zurkuhlen in 2021 left her with a similar outlook on relationships.
“I think my ex-husband, who I’m really, really good friends with still, would tell you this is the best thing that could have happened to us,” Dorfman explained.
Ratajkowski noted that it’s OK to end a marriage for one’s own happiness. “I know a lot of people are unhappily married for a long time because they’re so afraid of divorce and I don’t think that’s a good way to live,” the My Body author added. “Well, cheers to divorce!”
