The couple have been married for four years and have a son together

Emily Ratajkowski has filed for divorce from her estranged husband Sebastian Bear-McClard following cheating allegations.

The model filed for divorce from the film producer in Manhattan Supreme Court on Thursday after four years of marriage, according to court records obtained by Page Six. The filing was contested, meaning there are issues to be litigated.

The 31-year-old separated from her film producer husband – who she shared a one-year-old son with – in July. At the time, a source, told Page Six, that Bear-McClard had reportedly cheated.

“Yeah, he cheated,” a source close to the model claimed to the newspaper at the time, adding: “He’s a serial cheater. It’s gross. He’s a dog.”

While Ratajkowski has remained silent about the allegations, she dueted TikTok video earlier this week where she talked about being recently single and about how “patriarchy does not give space for the existence of love”.

Ratajkowski explained that she “loved the video” because “under a patriarchy, there’s this premise of like men ‘getting women’, like ‘getting them’, ‘pulling them’ like they’re something to possess.”

She went on: “Which I feel – as a recently single person who is thinking about dating and stuff – I’ve really seen that with my friends and with the conversations kind of around it.

“It’s like, ‘Well who’s going to get her?’ Rather than this is a reciprocal mutual relationship where two people could potentially foster love.”

The model then pointed out how “that’s why we don’t have a lot of love in cis-hetero relationships”, before encouraging her followers to watch the rest of the original video.

Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard, 41, started dating in 2018, but had known each other for several years.

Just weeks into their relationship, Bear-McClard proposed to the model while out for dinner at New York City restaurant Minetta Tavern and a week later they married in an untraditional civil ceremony.

Ratajkowski broke the news on Instagram, telling her followers: “Sooo, I have a surprise, I got married today.”

After over two years of marriage, the pair revealed they were expecting their first child.
