Emily Ratajkowski's Ex-Husband Sebastian Bear-McClard Welcomes Baby Boy

Sebastian Bear-McClard, former husband of model Emily Ratajkowski, has reportedly welcomed a baby boy named Dante with his girlfriend Alessandra Brawn. The independent film producer, 45, is also known for his past work with the Safdie brothers.

Brawn, 39, has two other sons: Denny, six, from her relationship with actor Will Arnett, and Nash, from her marriage to nightlife entrepreneur Jon Neidich. She and Bear-McClard, who reportedly became a couple in September 2025, are said to have known each other since childhood. Their son Dante was reportedly born in May, and Bear-McClard was recently seen with the infant in New York City's SoHo neighborhood.

Bear-McClard and Ratajkowski married in 2018 and had a son, Sylvester, before their split in 2022 amid rumors of his infidelity. Ratajkowski has since spoken about the dissolution of her marriage, noting in an essay published this June that their relationship ended six months after their son's birth, with a separation less than a year later.

In March 2023, Bear-McClard faced allegations of 'grooming' and was fired by the Safdie brothers' production company, Elara Pictures. At the time, he was involved in mediation with the Safdies, as well as divorce proceedings and a custody battle with Ratajkowski. Ratajkowski told the Los Angeles Times that she was hesitant to speak more candidly about the divorce, citing concerns that outspoken women do not always retain custody of their children.

Brawn and Arnett were together in 2019 and welcomed their son, Alexander Denison (Denny), in 2020, but they had separated by late 2024. Arnett is reportedly dating model Emma Marciano. Brawn and Neidich were married in Tuscany in 2014 and welcomed their son Nash before their 2018 split.

Ratajkowski is currently in a relationship with French music video director Romain Gavras.
