While Sebastian Bear-McClard and Emily Ratajkowski were friends before dating, and their relationship progressed naturally, it seemed like nothing could tear them apart. The stylish and cool-looking couple was married in 2018 and Ratajkowski gave birth to their son Sylvester Apollo Bear in 2021. But in September 2022, she filed for divorce, and Bear-McClard was said to be unfaithful.
Of course, both parties have moved on, and fans are consumed with Emily Ratajkowski's relationship with Harry Styles and the other men in her life. But what went down between her and Bear-McClard is still mindboggling.
Although no one knows what really happened between the pair, one thing did happen that fans couldn't ignore: Sebastian Bear-McClard was pictured with his arm around actress Suki Waterhouse, who has been in the spotlight in 2023 for playing drummer Karen in Daisy Jones and the Six. Prior to getting divorced from Sebastian Bear-McClard, how did Emily Ratajkowski feel about Suki Waterhouse?
What Happened Between Sebastian Bear-McClard And Suki Waterhouse?
Fans have some thoughts on Sebastian Bear-McClard and he definitely didn't help matters when he was snapped with a woman who wasn't his wife. In April 2018, photos of Sebastian Bear-McClard and Suki Waterhouse came out, and The Daily Mail reported that he wasn't wearing his wedding ring. They were pictured in New York City, and the publication said that they were standing close together, laughing, and he also touched her face.
While this would of course been terrible for Ratajkowski to see at any point in her relationship, she and Bear-McClard had gotten married just two months before this sighting, so this was particularly tough timing.
While Bear-McClard and Ratajkowski remained married for several years after this moment, it's hard not to wonder how she felt about it, and if she was envious of her husband spending time with Waterhouse.
In April 2018, a source explained to Hollywood Life that the women were pals: "Emily and Suki are friends but that doesn’t mean she’s cool with this, Suki was getting way too close to her man. Emily read her the riot act as soon as she saw the pictures, she was furious with Suki."
While Ratajkowski hasn't commented publicly on these April 2018 photos, the fact that she decided that her marriage was over and was the one who filed for divorce suggests that she wasn't pleased.
Since the two have worked as models, they have traveled in the same social circles and have been photographed at the same events, both before and after this public moment. According to a Just Jared Jr. article from 2019, the two were seated in the front row of a fashion show by Proenza Schouler. Years before that, in February 2015, they attended a Vanity Fair event called Young Hollywood.
Suki Waterhouse hasn't said anything about the photos taken of her and Bear-McClard, and the two didn't date after his divorce. Waterhouse has been in a serious relationship with Robert Pattinson since 2018.
How Does Emily Ratajkowski Feel About The Divorce?
Emily Ratajkowski talked about her divorce a little bit in an interview with Harper's Bazaar in October 2022 and said that she had put herself back out into the dating world: "I have gone on dates."
However, the model and author of the book My Body definitely wants to keep the details of her divorce out of the public eye. But while she didn't want to say too much, she did share how emotional this time in her life has been.
She told Harper's Bazaar, “I can tell you that I have never been single before. I feel all the emotions. I feel anger, sadness. I feel excitement. I feel joy. I feel levity. Every day is different. The only good thing I know is that I’m feeling all those things, which is nice because it makes me believe that I’ll be okay.”
In a 2022 interview with Variety, the model was asked if she was in a relationship with Brad Pitt, who she had been linked to at that point in time. She replied, “One of the things I write about in the last essay of the book is about control and kind of understanding that one of the best ways to actually be happy and have some semblance of control is letting go. I’m newly single for basically the first time in my life ever, and I just feel like I’m kind of enjoying the freedom of not being super worried about how I’m being perceived.”
According to People, the model shared more about the hard time she went through on the podcast "Going Mental" in 2022. She said that after giving birth to her son, she struggled with depression. She mentioned "gaslighting" and said, "I think so much of what I learned coming out of that relationship is to trust your instincts."
She also shared that she had lost weight and it sounds like she knew that her marriage was over but it took her a while to file for divorce.
Ratajkowski said on that podcast, "I didn't have the courage to leave for a long time. I was really, really unhappy."
Who Is Emily Ratajkowski Dating Now?
Emily Ratajkowski dated Pete Davidson for two months in the fall of 2022, and according to The Daily Mail, she was thought to be dating Eric André at the beginning of 2023. The publication reported that they were photographed seeing the New York Knicks in February 2023.
However, it seems that was short-lived. According to Page Six, she posted on TikTok in mid-February 2023 and wrote, “What should you do when a situationship ends?" According to Page Six, André attended a volleyball event in Miami a few weeks later and brought his mother.
Now the world is consumed with who she moved on with. According to The Daily Mail, Emily Ratajkowski is dating Harry Styles.
