Everything You Need to Know About Erika Linder’s Love Life and Career
Much of the public curiosity surrounding Linder’s romantic history stems from two very different chapters: a real-world, high-profile relationship with model Heather Kemesky, and a whirlwind of fan fiction triggered by her debut feature film.
For several years, Linder and Kemesky formed one of the fashion world’s most celebrated creative couples. Both were thriving models who shared an effortless, rock-and-roll sensibility. In May 2020, the duo appeared together on the cover of Australian culture magazine Russh, opening up about their shared life, their connection, and creating art in close quarters during global lockdowns. Their editorial work together resonated because it felt authentic, free of the manufactured polish that often drains commercial shoots. Eventually, the two drifted out of public view as a couple, quietly concluding their shared chapter without dramatic tabloid announcements.
In contrast, rumors surrounding Linder and actress Natalie Krill grew out of pure cinematic chemistry. When director April Mullen's erotic drama Below Her Mouth debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2016, the film sparked passionate debate. Linder starred as Dallas, a confident roofer who begins a passionate affair with Jasmine, an engaged fashion editor played by Krill.
The film used an all-female production crew, yielding raw, uninhibited intimate sequences that led many viewers to believe the romantic spark carried over into reality. As both actresses clarified in promotional interviews with outlets like Brief Take, their rapport on set was grounded in mutual trust, intense preparation, and professional camaraderie. Krill and Linder became close friends through the demanding shoot, but their characters’ romance stayed strictly on screen.
