Emily Ratajkowski is a proud mom to 1-year-old Sylvester Apollo Bear, whom she shares with ex Sebastian Bear-McClard. Ever since the 31-year-old model gave birth, Ratajkowski has been open and honest about her approach to parenting.
In a November 2021 conversation with Interview, she explained how she’s protecting her child from the culture of toxic masculinity. ” . . . this culture that I’m writing about in the book, is very bad for men,” she said, referencing her 2021 book of essays titled “My Body.” “I see it in my life, the ways that it limits men, and how depressing their existence and their lives can be when they have to adopt this toxic masculinity. So I also feel incredibly protective of him in the same way I would with a daughter, from this culture.”

Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard welcomed their first baby into the world on March 8, 2021. The model announced the arrival on Instagram, writing, “Sylvester Apollo Bear has joined us earth side. Sly arrived 3/8/21 on the most surreal, beautiful, and love-filled morning of my life.”
Ratajkowski previously explained to Vogue that the former couple chose not to reveal the gender of their baby, saying, “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?’ We like to respond that we won’t know the gender until our child is 18 and that they’ll let us know then.”
