Emily Ratajkowski is embracing single life with a complete feeling of freedom, weeks after divorcing her spouse of four years, Sebastian Bear-McClard.

The model and My Body author responded to writer Ciarra Jones’s TikTok video against sexism in relationships by posting a Stitch with Jones. Ratajkowski had a strong response to Jones’ statement that “Patriarchy does not give space for the existence of love” in her video.

“Okay, I love this video, even if I’m a little sick of the word patriarchy,” she says. “I love this video, because she’s making a point that (feminist author) bell hooks made, which is that under a patriarchy, there’s this premise of, like, men getting women, like getting them, pulling them, like they’re something to possess—which I feel, as a recently single person who’s thinking about dating and stuff, I’ve really seen that with my friends, and with the conversations kind of around it.”

Ratajkowski has never publicly acknowledged her split from Bear-McClard, who she shares a one-year-old son named Sylvester Apollo Bear with. There have been rumors that the actor and producer was constantly unfaithful to Ratajkowski.

Only a small group of their closest friends witnessed Ratajkowski and Bear-low-key McClard’s wedding ceremony at a courtroom in 2018. The couple welcomed their baby three years later, in March 2021, and separated this past July.
