If you had to pick two people to go to the spa with, Nick Jonas [1] and Emily Ratajkowski aren't bad options. The unfairly good-looking pair linked up for a fun interview and sexy spa day for Glamour magazine [2]'s June issue, which resulted in some jealousy-inducing photos and quite a few interesting insights into their lives. Emily reveals how her naked selfie with Kim Kardashian [3] came to be, while the "Close" singer [4] opened up about how his split from Olivia Culpo [5] affected his new album. Keep reading to see what they had to say!
- Emily, on her relationship with feminism: "I shave my armpits and wear makeup. They might be things I like because they're part of a patriarchal society, but I'm reclaiming them. Women should be the ones who are in control, even if they're topless or being sexual."
- On how she became BFFs with Lena Dunham and Kim Kardashian: "I sent Lena Dunham a DM with a dorky selfie on Instagram and waved 'Hi!' It sparked a great friendship, and it's how I came to write for Lenny. And I spent time with Kim Kardashian West after defending her nude selfie on Twitter. It was bullsh*t that Piers Morgan [tweeted a joke about putting clothing on her], in my opinion."
- Nick, on baring his soul on his new album: "I started writing the record, then life interrupted. I had a breakup, and that informed a lot of the writing. A big thing for me is getting real about my insecurities; trying to share more than the surface level with people. There's so much pressure as an artist and a performer — especially in the pop world — to maintain a level of confidence. But then you look at people who are killing it right now: They're open about insecurities. It's amazing to see how connected that makes us all."
- On his own personal beauty regimen: "I was in the gym pretty heavily before we shot ['Close']. And I don't know if I got a spray tan or not, but, uh . . . maybe I did. I can't remember. [Laughs.] Everyone looks better with a tan, let's be honest."
- Emily, on how she handles negativity on social media: "The important thing to remember is social media is not real life. People would never say those things in person."
- Nick, on the Jonas Brothers' questionable hairstyles: "There was a time when [Kevin] used to flatiron his hair. I think he's happy he no longer does that."
