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

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

“It’s something a woman does by herself, inside her body, no matter what her circumstances may be,” she wrote for Vogue in October 2020. “Despite having a loving partner and many female friends ready to share the gritty details of their pregnancies, I am ultimately alone with my body in this experience. There is no one to feel it with me — the sharp muscular aches in my lower abdomen that come out of nowhere while I’m watching a movie or the painful heaviness of my breasts that now greets me first thing every morning. My husband has no physical symptoms in ‘our’ pregnancy, another reminder of how different a woman and man’s experience of life can be.”

The Gone Girl actress also noted that she and her husband already made plans about how they would discuss gender with their child. “When my husband and I tell friends that I’m pregnant, their first question after ‘Congratulations’ is almost always ‘Do you know what you want?'” she shared. “We like to respond that we won’t know the gender until our child is 18 and that they’ll let us know then.”

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

Ratajkowski, for her part, later addressed the challenges that she faced during her pregnancy.
