Your growing boy. After welcoming son Sylvester in March 2021, Emily Ratajkowski continues to offer a glimpse into her life as a mother.

The model announced that she is expecting her first child Sebastian Bear-McClard after two years of marriage. At the time, Ratajkowski spoke about how being pregnant was an “inherently lonely” experience.

“It’s something a woman does on her own, in her body, no matter what her circumstances may be,” she wrote for Fashion in October 2020. “Though I have a loving partner and many female friends who are willing to share the rough details of their pregnancies, I am ultimately alone with my body in this experience. No one feels it in me – the sharp muscle pains in my lower abdomen that come out of nowhere while I’m watching a movie, or the aching heaviness in my breasts that is the first thing that greets me every morning now. My husband has no physical symptoms during “our” pregnancy, another reminder of how different life experiences can be between women and men.”

That Ex girlfriend The actress also noted that she and her husband had already made plans about how they would talk about gender with their child. “When my husband and I tell friends I’m pregnant, their first question after ‘Congratulations’ is almost always ‘You know what you want?'” she shared. “We’re happy to reply that we don’t know the gender until our child is 18 and then they tell us.”

A month after their son’s arrival, a source exclusively revealed Us weekly that Ratajkowski loved the next chapter of her life. “She is fully embracing motherhood and enjoying every precious moment with her baby boy,” the insider noted in April 2021.

For her part, Ratajkowski later addressed the challenges she faced during her pregnancy. “[I] As I began weighing the pros and cons of home birth versus hospital birth, I made a list of the things I feared most in each scenario. I wrote “pain” and “bleeding” under home birth, and under hospital I added “doctors and nurses,” she explained in her My body Memoir released in November 2021. “It was only then that I realized how distrustful I had been of those in positions of power who, often without my best interest and without my express consent, made my body feel like it wasn’t my own.”

According to the actress, welcoming her son into the world was “unremarkable” in many ways. “It’s both so extraordinary and so everyday how our bodies guide us through our lives,” she continued. “I felt him, his body against my chest, but even more clearly his presence in the room. Stunned, I held him close to me. Of my flesh, I thought. The mirror was pushed aside, but I could still see where it appeared. My body.”

More than a year after Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard expanded their family, Us confirmed the couple ended it. A source revealed the producer was still trying to win his estranged wife back after a “cheating incident,” saying, “Sebastian is trying to have a second chance with Emily but she doesn’t want to get back together.”

Amid the split, Ratajkowski continued to take to social media to show off her special moments with her son.
