Emily Ratajkowski Reveals When She & Ex-Husband Stopped Having Sex

Emily Ratajkowski is getting real.

She openly discussed her experiences with sex and dating as a single mother to her five-year-old son, Sylvester Apollo Bear, whom she shares with her ex-husband, film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard. She also revealed details about the breakdown of their relationship, including when their intimacy ended.

Okay, so Emily Ratajkowski described becoming a mom as…intense. She said it was like this sudden, almost painful shift – a screaming baby on her chest, and then looking down to see her wedding ring on a finger that had swollen from everything. And then, honestly, it felt like no time at all before everything with her marriage just…fell apart. It was so fast, but also felt like it dragged on forever, you know?

As a lifestyle expert, I often see couples struggle after having a baby, and it breaks my heart. I can really relate to what one woman shared with me – she told me that six months after her son arrived, the intimacy with her husband just stopped. Sadly, less than a year after that, they decided to separate. It’s a tough reminder that prioritizing connection is so important, even – and especially – when life gets chaotic.

Emily Ratajkowski, 35, and Sebastian Bear-McClard, 45, separated in July 2022 following four years of marriage and just over a year after having a child. Their divorce was finalized last summer.

After the split, Ratajkowski remembered feeling pitied and looked down on by others, who seemed to view her as undesirable.

The Gone Girl actress ended up in a situation she’d been warned against as a child – becoming a single mother.

She explained that the label itself felt like an accusation. In her view, becoming a mother with someone you shouldn’t have was considered a devastating mistake for women – it meant losing control of your life, having limited options, and feeling completely trapped with no way out. It left you vulnerable and without any real support.

To avoid being pitied after her breakup, Ratajkowski quickly reinvented herself by enthusiastically embracing a period of frequent dating.

She explained that she consciously chose to embrace a more liberated and sexually empowered identity. She wanted to shed the image of being the ‘perfect’ woman – the one she felt she had been before childbirth drastically changed her body and experience – and instead fully own her sexuality.

Amy Schumer, known for her role in I Feel Pretty, has dated several people – including Pete Davidson, Eric Andre, and Harry Styles – since her split from her husband. She highlighted how different her current approach to relationships is compared to how she approached them while married.

I hadn’t ever had a casual one-night stand before my breakup, and I’d never slept with anyone on the first date. Actually, throughout my life, I’d only been with eight people total – four were long-term boyfriends I lived with, and another was a close male friend from high school, she shared.

The Gone Girl actress ended up in a situation she’d been warned against as a child: becoming a single mother.

She explained that the very label itself could be used to shame someone. Back then, becoming a mother with the wrong partner was seen as devastating for a woman – it felt like losing all control over her life, leaving her trapped with responsibilities but without any support or options.

After realizing people pitied her following the breakup, Emily Ratajkowski quickly shifted gears. Within a week, she embraced a very active dating life, almost like a deliberate transformation of her public image.

She explained that she deliberately sought out experiences to redefine herself after becoming a mother. She wanted to shed the image of being a perfect or idealized woman – one she felt had been damaged by childbirth – and embrace a more liberated, uninhibited persona.

Amy Schumer, known for her role in I Feel Pretty, has dated several people – including Pete Davidson, Eric Andre, and Harry Styles – since her split from her husband. She explained that she’s now approaching relationships very differently than she did when she was married.

I hadn’t ever had a casual encounter or even slept with anyone on the first date before I separated,” she said. “Actually, throughout my life, I’d only been intimate with eight people – four long-term partners and one friend from high school.

She explained that she only ever slept with people she believed would develop feelings for her, because she wanted to be seen as special and valued.

I quickly realized my approach to dating just wasn’t hitting the mark – and not just romantically! It became clear pretty fast that things weren’t really working out as I’d hoped.

After starting to date again following her separation, she realized two things. First, she noticed many men were attracted to women who are mothers. Second, and more importantly, she discovered that appearing independent actually made men want her even more – a lesson her grandmother could have easily taught her.

She explained that the pleasure she derived wasn’t primarily from the sexual act itself, but from the new experience of being emotionally unavailable and mysterious to someone.

But ultimately, Ratajkowski decided the hookup lifestyle and “villain” persona wasn’t for her.

Looking back, she realized that even though she played a powerful supervillain – a role she thought would protect her – she felt just as lost and insecure as she did in her twenties when she was trying to be the ‘good girl.’

Cardi B revealed she got her butt crack pierced, and it was quite expensive!

The rapper shared on the September 2025 episode of Call Her Daddy that a diamond necklace cost around $13,000. Unfortunately, it fell down the toilet just a month later. She recounted frantically searching for it, checking her clothes, before realizing it was gone down the drain.

Cardi B shared that getting the piercing wasn’t painful, explaining that previous plastic surgery had left the area numb.

She explained she’d had surgery to reduce the size of her buttocks, similar to a tummy tuck, but on her rear end. She described it as reshaping the upper part of her buttocks.

Ellen Pompeo shared that she was questioned by airport security (TSA) after attempting to bring a snack on a plane.

The actress, known for her role on Grey’s Anatomy, recounted a surprising travel experience to Travel + Leisure in 2025. She explained that she was carrying a bag of high-end, organic sunflower seeds – the kind you’d find at a store like Erewhon – when airport security detained her for nearly an hour and even called in the bomb squad. She was completely confused and wondered if it was all a mistake.

She explained that the issue was probably a chemical from the packaging of the pricey organic sunflower seeds she’d been eating on the plane. She jokingly referred to them as ‘my protein on the plane!’

The musician, who is now deceased, once confessed to drinking excessively during the Christmas season, explaining that he strongly disliked the holiday.

The host of America’s Next Top Model has a strange habit: she admits to eating crumbs or small pieces of food she finds in her bed the following day.

Tyra Banks recently revealed she enjoys relaxing in bed with her mom, watching TV and sharing treats like ice cream and popcorn. She shared this on the Today with Jenna & Friends show in July 2025.

She explained that after a couple of days, she’ll pick dropped food directly from the bed. Instead of throwing crumbs away, she prefers to eat them, reasoning that throwing food away could attract bugs like cockroaches. She simply cleans up the crumbs by eating them.

Brad Pitt admitted that one of his on-set farts caused a huge ruckus early in his career. 

He described filming in a very small café during a July 2025 appearance on the New Heights podcast. It was crowded with around 60 crew members, making it hot and stuffy. His character hadn’t eaten in days, and the scene involved receiving a large plate of beans and bacon.

After he had “powered down this plate of beans,” Brad explained, “something hit me.”

He explained he was helpless, unable to move from his chair as events unfolded. Then, something terrible happened – a sudden, overwhelming panic swept through everyone in the café, and they all ran away.

In June 2024, NFL player Jason Kelce jokingly tweeted about someone suggesting he doesn’t wash his legs or feet. He responded with, “What kind of weirdo washes their feet…” after a fan made the observation.

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

On his podcast, New Heights with his brother Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes joked, ‘What kind of person washes your feet?’ He then added, ‘If I see dirt, I’ll scrub it off.’

Robert Pattinson remembered telling The New York Times Style Magazine in December 2024 that he reacted with complete surprise. “I was just thinking, ‘What is going on? Are you okay?'” he said.

As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?

He said that one of the clowns had tragically died in an accident with his prop car. Apparently, the small vehicle unexpectedly exploded while he was using it, causing everyone to panic and flee the scene. He described it as a truly frightening experience.

Grandma knows best.

Oh my gosh, you guys, I was living for the latest episode of The Kardashians! Kim was talking about her grandma, MJ, and it was SO sweet. Apparently, MJ actually inspired this really intimate moment between Kim and Pete! I mean, can you even imagine? It was just the cutest thing ever, hearing how much her grandma influenced even that part of her life. I’m obsessed with MJ now, seriously!

Kim Kardashian told MJ, Kris Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian that she and Pete Davidson were at the Beverly Hills Hotel when she remembered something her grandmother had told her. She explained that her grandmother believed having sex in front of a fireplace was a way to truly enjoy life, so they decided to do it as a tribute to Kris.

Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.

Kim found it unsettling to think about her grandmother before being intimate, and MJ responded by saying she understood, acknowledging she hadn’t always been as mature.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have a very close family—including their children, 8-year-old Wyatt and 6-year-old Dimitri—and their love for each other is endless.

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

She explained to TopMob News in September 2022 that this acceptance extends to everything, even using the bathroom. She described it as simply part of how her family and children naturally approach everyday bodily functions.

Mila explained she finally gave in after her family repeatedly asked to come inside. She said she just decided to leave the door open rather than keep refusing them.

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.

She said she never imagined she’d be comfortable enough to use the restroom with the door open.

Jennifer Garner admitted to having a funny—and slightly painful—experience on set. While filming the movie The Kingdom in 2007, she accidentally bit her own tongue during a fight scene!

Jennifer described a scene with Sala Baker where the director, Pete Berg, instructed her to realistically attempt to survive, even suggesting she try to ‘kill’ her. She explained they hadn’t rehearsed much choreography, and Berg encouraged her to do whatever it took to make the scene believable.

She continued, explaining that they both jumped into action, and she ended up climbing onto his back. She actually bit his ear – there’s even a photo to prove it, showing where a piece was bitten off! They weren’t joking around.

 

Ghouls just want to have fun.

During an October 2022 episode of The View, while discussing a woman who claimed her home was haunted by “sexual ghosts,” Sara Haines posed a surprising question to her co-hosts: “Is it possible to get pregnant from a ghost?”

Luckily, Joy Behar, her co-host, chimed in with a humorous response: “I’ve been intimate with a few ghosts and never gotten pregnant.”

“I’m not going to comment on that,” Whoopi Goldberg responded. “I’m sure some of you heard what Joy said, and I’ll leave it at that.”

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb are very close friends, but Hoda recently learned something surprising about her “Today” co-host. While preparing for an episode of “Today with Hoda and Jenna,” Hoda found out that Jenna always goes without underwear.

Hoda Kotb shared a funny story from November 2022 on Today with Hoda and Jenna about having to run back to the dressing room before going on air. She realized during that moment that her co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, doesn’t wear underwear.

Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

She explained that the style creates a nicer overall shape and is easier to pack, adding there were many other benefits too.

Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.

Britney Spears related to a popular line from Keke Palmer – “He could be walking down the street, I wouldn’t know a thing” – and confessed she wasn’t familiar with Pete Davidson or Scott Disick.

I just had to share this hilarious video from March! It’s of Pete Davidson – when he was with Kim Kardashian – and Kourtney’s ex, Scott Disick, having a night out together. Honestly, they were so funny, I was literally in stitches watching it!

Britney explained she was resharing a funny video, though she didn’t know who was in it. She said she laughed really hard at it and apologized for reposting after initially taking it down.

Before Chris Evans became famous as Captain America and was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2022, Jana Kramer dated him and thought he was a really cute heartthrob.

The singer shared on her podcast, Whine Down with Jana Kramer, that this happened over ten years ago. While she doesn’t remember exactly how many times they went out, she does remember their final meeting.

Jana, who was around 26 at the time, said Chris asked her to come over when he had some friends visiting from Boston.

Jana recalled that the last thing she remembered was her partner going to the bathroom right after she’d eaten asparagus, which sometimes changes the smell of urine. They didn’t end up intimate that night; he stayed up late with friends, and the next morning she left his house feeling embarrassed – what she jokingly called the ‘asparagus walk of shame’.

She added, “I never heard from him again.”

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

In December, television writer Elisabeth Finch confessed that she had fabricated a story about having a rare form of bone cancer. She had originally shared this false diagnosis in an article with ELLE eight years prior, and it even became the basis for a plotline on the TV show Grey’s Anatomy.

Elisabeth recently revealed to The Ankler that a lie she told at age 34 was her biggest regret. She explained the falsehood grew over time and became increasingly difficult to confront, stating definitively, “I’ve never had any form of cancer.”

Following his suspension and eventual resignation from the ABC medical show, Finch admitted he made a serious mistake. He stated simply, “I messed up – it was completely wrong.”

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

The reality star told The New York Times she’d try almost anything to look younger.

Honestly, I swear, she said she’d consider eating… well, let’s just say something really unpleasant, daily, if it meant looking younger! She actually said it, like, she’d seriously think about it! I nearly fainted. It was in June, and I’ve been replaying it in my head ever since. It’s just… that’s how dedicated she is to her craft, you know? It’s amazing!

In a July 2022 interview with Allure magazine, Kim explained she was mostly kidding when she made the comment, but admitted it wasn’t a completely awful idea.

Okay, seriously, now that I’m really thinking about it… if someone, anyone, told me that if I ate a bowl of… well, you know… every single day, I’d actually look younger? I’d do it. No question. I’d eat it! I’m completely obsessed with looking young, so yeah, bring on the… stuff. It’s honestly not even a thought – I’d just do it!

She wasn’t sure how much she could eat. “Perhaps just a small taste,” she said. “I definitely couldn’t manage a full bowl.”

Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.

During an April 2025 interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the singer behind “Save Me” shared a particularly embarrassing story, and he didn’t hesitate to tell all the details.

“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”

To be honest, Jelly Roll – whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord – didn’t intend to cause so much damage.

He firmly believed it was just a misunderstanding. “I sincerely apologize,” he said. “I saw the audience quickly turn from supportive to completely against me.”
