Emily Ratajkowski Rejects the Label 'Divorced Single Mom' and Speaks Out on Embracing Her New Role
Emily Ratajkowski has expressed her resentment towards being labelled a "divorced single mom" after her split from ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. In a recent essay, the 31-year-old model and actress shared her experiences as a single mother and her reentry into the dating scene.
Ratajkowski's marriage to Bear-McClard ended six months after the birth of their son, Sly, now 5. She described this period as a "violent transition" into motherhood. The couple, who married in 2018, separated in 2022 and finalized their divorce in 2025.
After her split, Ratajkowski confronted her fear of being a single mother and discovered that some men were attracted to her because of her parental status. She intentionally took on a "villain" role while dating, drawing inspiration from comic book characters like Poison Ivy and Catwoman.
Ratajkowski reflected on a past relationship with an "elder millennial" who confessed his love for her just three weeks into their relationship. She asked to remain nonexclusive, which led to him realizing her true nature. Despite her tough exterior, Ratajkowski admitted to being "misguided and vulnerable."
As an advocate for women's rights, Ratajkowski has written extensively on themes of female empowerment and owning one's sexuality. Her 2021 essay collection, "My Body," explored the exploitative nature of the entertainment and fashion industries.
