Emily Ratajkowski has just revealed that she's pregnant, and says that she will not reveal her baby's gender. In an essay for Vogue, Ratajkowski stated that she won't know the gender of her child until they reach the age of 18.
In the new piece written for Vogue, the 29-year-old former Sports Illustrated model opened up about the child she is currently expecting with her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.
The actress recently took to Instagram to debut her new blonde locks:In the essay in question, the Gone Girl actress wrote:
"We like to respond that we won't know the gender until our child is 18 and that they'll let us know then. Everyone laughs at this.
"There is a truth to our line, though, one that hints at possibilities that are much more complex than whatever genitalia our child might be born with: the truth that we ultimately have no idea who - rather than what - is growing inside my belly.
"Who will this person be? What kind of person will we become parents to? How will they change our lives and who we are? This is a wondrous and terrifying concept, one that renders us both helpless and humbled."
She also spoke up about her fears of raising a boy, stating:
"I've known far too many white men who move through the world unaware of their privilege, and I've been traumatized by many of my experiences with them."
"And boys too; it's shocking to realize how early young boys gain a sense of entitlement - to girls' bodies and to the world in general. I'm not scared of raising a 'bad guy', as many of the men I've known who abuse their power do so unintentionally.
She added: "But I'm terrified of inadvertently cultivating the carelessness and the lack of awareness that are so convenient for men. It feels much more daunting to create an understanding of privilege in a child than to teach simple black-and-white morality."
Per a report by Elle, the actress first announced that she had married Bear-McClard, in a surprise New York City courthouse wedding on February 23, 2018, making the announcement on Instagram.
In an Instagram story addressed to her 26.9 million followers, Ratajkowski uploaded a picture of her and her new spouse holding hands together, showing off their new wedding rings, which was captioned simply: "Soooo I have a surprise ... I got married today. [sic]"
