Emily Ratajkowski and Sebastian Bear-McClard are going their separate ways after four years.

According to People, a source close to the 31-year-old model, actress, and author revealed that she ended the marriage with Bear-McClard, 41, and just wants to focus on her son.

"They split recently. It was Em's decision. She is doing okay. She is strong and focused on her son. She loves being a mom," the insider confirmed.

As reported by Page Six, speculation on Ratajkowski's possible divorce began after she was seen without her wedding ring in Instagram posts and while running errands.

Another close source also revealed to the outlet that the filmmaker allegedly cheated on Ratajkowski, however, she didn't file for divorce yet.

“Yeah, he cheated,” the source alleged. “He’s a serial cheater. It’s gross. He’s a dog.”

The couple was first linked romantically in 2018 after they were spotted together on Valentine's Day. After only dating for a few weeks, they wed in a secret ceremony in New York.

In an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after their wedding, the Gone Girl actress told the host about Bear-McClard's nontraditional proposal, which she initially rejected.

"He proposed to me at Minetta Tavern and he didn't have a ring, so I was like mmm, nah," she said. "And then he took the paper clip that the bill was paid with and made me a ring, which I actually thought was really romantic."

The model shared a picture about her marriage on Instagram, writing "NYC" with two ring emojis in the caption. In the photo, Bear-McClard is hugging Ratajkowski.

After comments about her early marriage, in an appearance on Busy Tonight later that year, Ratajkowski disclosed that she had been friends with Bear-McClard for a while before getting together.

"We knew each other for a long time before and he likes to joke 'yeah everyone thinks we got married quickly, but you vetted me for two years,'" she said.

In March 2021, the couple welcomed their first baby together, Sylvester Apollo, after announcing in a Vogue video directed by Lena Dunham that Ratajkowski was pregnant.

The actress said she and her husband did not want to know the gender of their baby because it would be up to the child to decide how they identify.

"We like to respond that we won’t know the gender until our child is 18 and that they’ll let us know then," she wrote in an essay for Vogue magazine.
