Emily Ratajkowski's Divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard Finalized: What Happened Next?
EXCLUSIVE: Emily Ratajkowski and Sebastian Bear-McClard's Toxic Marriage Finally Comes to an End!
After nearly three years of drama, deceit, and public embarrassment, Emily Ratajkowski, 34, has finally severed ties with her cheating ex-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, 44. The model filed for divorce in September 2022, but it took almost a year for the courts to finalize the proceedings.
According to thescholarlynote.com, a judgment was entered on July 22 in Manhattan Supreme Court, making Emily and Sebastian legally single. But what's even juicier is that a qualified medical child support order was also filed, hinting at ongoing financial arrangements for their four-year-old son, Sylvester Apollo Bear.
The divorce was all but done back in December when Emily's attorney submitted a bunch of documents, including a proposed judgment of divorce and a proposed qualified medical child support order. However, the proposed judgment was returned for correction, delaying the inevitable.
It seems that a settlement had been reached, as evidenced by a settlement document filed at the time. But thescholarlynote.com has learned that no details will be forthcoming due to New York's private divorce records laws.
Emily appeared to be basking in her newfound freedom when she was spotted celebrating Gucci's new obsession campaign in the Hamptons on July 26 – a far cry from the stress and unhappiness she spoke about during an interview with Dear Media's Going Mental podcast back in September 2022.
"I didn't have the courage to leave" my ex, Emily revealed, adding that she was "really unhappy" for a long time. She confessed that her depression was manifesting physically, causing her to lose weight and feel miserable.
The former couple's split was marked by allegations of Sebastian's infidelity, with multiple sources claiming he was a "serial cheater." Emily has since moved on, albeit not without controversy. Her whirlwind romance with Harry Styles, 31, in March 2023 sent shockwaves through the celebrity world.
"I've been secretly dating him for two months," Emily revealed in a podcast recorded just days before she was spotted kissing the One Direction star in Tokyo. "He might be the one."
Emily's journey to self-discovery and empowerment has been nothing short of inspiring, especially given her high-profile status as a model and author. Her upcoming book about divorce aims to dispel some of the stigma surrounding it.
"I can't believe there aren't more books about first marriages failing," Emily said in an interview with Vogue Australia. "I do think so many women are divorcing at younger ages, and it's such a taboo."
As Emily continues to navigate her new life as a "chic" divorcee, fans are left wondering what the future holds for this stunning supermodel. Will she continue to date A-listers or find love with someone more down-to-earth?
For now, Emily seems to be embracing her newfound freedom and living life on her own terms. And who knows? Maybe we'll see a tell-all book about her tumultuous marriage to Sebastian Bear-McClard in the near future!
