Emily Ratajkowski makes candid confession about sex life with ex-husband after birth of son
Unknown
Emily Ratajkowski has shared new details about the end of her marriage to Sebastian Bear-McClard, revealing that the couple stopped being intimate just six months after welcoming their son, Sylvester.
In an essay for 'The Cut', accompanied by a photoshoot that featured her breastfeeding a doll, the 35-year-old model reflected on the challenges of early motherhood and how it impacted her relationship.
After giving birth in 2021, the model described entering what she called "a violent transition into a new reality of screaming baby on my aching tit and ring on my swollen finger."

She said her marriage gradually unraveled during a period that "felt both instant and excruciatingly slow."
The model revealed that intimacy disappeared from the relationship shortly after becoming parents.
"Six months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex," she wrote. "Less than a year later, we separated."
Claims ex-husband was unfaithful
Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard officially split four years ago, after four-and-a-half years of marriage. She filed for divorce two months later.
Around the time of the breakup, reports surfaced alleging that the filmmaker had been unfaithful.
One source claimed: "He's a serial cheater. It's gross. He's a dog."
The following year, Bear-McClard was accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior involving teenage girls in a Variety investigation. He has not publicly responded to those allegations.
Looking back on the aftermath of her divorce, Ratajkowski said she struggled with how others perceived and viewed her.
"Their furrowed brows, the pity in their faces as they delivered an 'I'm so sorry, Emily,'" she recalled.
She added: "I couldn't stand my pathetic reflection in their eyes. They saw me as someone who was unwanted, who had been left."
The model also reflected on how she once feared becoming a single mother.
As a child, she believed it was "crucial" to avoid that outcome because she saw the label as "an insult."
"I’d learned the hard way that being alone was better than most partnerships. I’d seen too much, discovered what many women do only when they get divorced in their mid-40s. I’d lived through the failure of a unit, yet I was barely into my 30s. This was my villain origin story," she shared.
