Emily Ratajkowski is on the apps!

The model and author of My Body shared on her podcast, High Low, on Dec. 22 that she's started using dating apps amid her budding romance with Pete Davidson and following her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard.

In fact, she dove into an app while recording the show, with a wine glass in hand and everything. "I was like, 'f— it,'" she said to listeners while perusing the app. "I was feeling defiant because so many people told me not to get it."

While browsing, Ratajkowski, 31, mentioned how "white" the app is and also gave a nod to the number of women who had sent her messages. She wasn't sure the app would truly find her what she's looking for, though.

"I feel like this app is a little bit white," she said. "It's very white and feels like a very particular man and very particular type of woman, so I don't think I'm gonna meet my lady crush on here."

Ratajkowski admitted on her podcast that this is the first time she's used a dating app, though since her divorce she's been linked to Davidson, Brad Pitt and Orazio Rispo.

Her marriage to Bear-McClard came to an end earlier this year after four years, and since then, she's been dating around and enjoying the single life. A source tells PEOPLE that Ratajkowski is "trying to keep her options open after everything she went through with her ex-husband," which is why she's been casually seeing a few people.

In September, Ratajkowski was spending "a lot" of time with Pitt, a source told PEOPLE, though they weren't dating "formally." In recent weeks, she's been spotted out with Davidson. In November, a source told PEOPLE they were "seeing each other," including an outing at a New York Knicks game at the end of the month.

"Emily continues to spend time with Pete," a source told PEOPLE about the couple's romance. The pair were also photographed embracing on his Nov.16 birthday.

"She finds him charming and funny," added the source. "He is a passionate guy and plans great dates.

"Emily is still taking it slowly. She is intrigued and flattered."

Despite a source telling PEOPLE in early December that the couple was "going strong," Davidson was seen at a New York Rangers game with his Bodies Bodies Bodies costar Chase Sui Wonders last week and again with her just days ago.
