Ratajkowski also went on to say she’s the reason her parents stayed married – her parents got married once her mom found out she was pregnant with her.

She also explains how her mother puts too big of an emphasis on beauty.

Her mother held Ratajkowski’s beauty to her own standard – people would compare her daughter’s beauty to her own.
