“I was really, really unhappy”: Emily Ratajkowski Was Not Brave Enough to Leave Her Husband Despite Being Miserable in Her Marriage
Emily Ratajkowski or as her fans like to call her EmRata is having the time of her life dating some of the most desirable men in the industry. But as it turns out the model had to endure a lot of struggle in her previous relationships, more specifically with her ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. Her recent interview on an Apple Music podcast made many people on the internet empathize with her. Being in a toxic relationship can be harmful in many ways, the model discussed the topic further and got really candid about her past experiences.
Despite the divorce being liberating, Ratajkowski confessed that, with her child just born, she lacked the courage to take on such an important change in her life. Here is everything she shared with the world from that interview.
Emily Ratajkowski on her divorce
Emily Ratajkowski took many by surprise when she announced her marriage to her now ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. Since the two dated in private and were very successful in keeping it that way for two whole years, the news of them getting suddenly married was a bit surprising. But the truth is, it wasn’t sudden at all. In 2018, the model was revealed to the Brides,
“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”
But everything wasn’t as sweet as it seemed. Since the pair got divorced in 2022, almost immediately after having a baby together. The cheating rumors were surfacing as soon as the news of them splitting up got leaked. Despite the wild tales that were being circulated, she refrained from speaking about the situation. Going Mental podcast is where she decided to dump it all out. She stated,
“I didn’t have the courage to leave for a long time. I was really, really unhappy,—I tried to take antidepressants,”
The model then further added,
“I was, like, 100 pounds and I had just had a baby. I got really skinny ’cause I was not OK.—I was sure there was something wrong with me. I think so much of what I learned coming out of that relationship is to trust your instincts…gaslighting is a real thing.”
The decision was a difficult one, but eventually, she was able to summon the courage to go through with it.
Emily Ratajkowski’s thoughts on “finding the one”
Many would kill to be in the position Emily Ratajkowski is in right now. But she had to fight and work really hard to reach the state of mind she is in at the current moment. She then shared her thoughts on the societal pressure of finding love and claimed that isn’t the only way to achieve fulfillment in life. Ratajkowski said,
“Every piece of media we consume from the second we are born is basically this idea of finding a partner that completes and validates you,”
This societal pressure was also among the reasons that made it more difficult for her to leave her marriage. But after a point, she just failed to carry on as she revealed,
“For me, it was so clear and then it just became clearer and clearer and clearer, which was good, which was clarifying,—Plus, I had just had a child,–so I really wanted to have that family, so it was especially hard for me to totally walk away.”
She then went on to further explain how grateful she is for her current situation in life, and that she does not take this freedom for granted. She said,
“I didn’t understand that it was actually going to be so nice to come back to myself,–return back to how I see the world, how I understand, things, my instincts.
A source also confirmed,
“Em is single and totally happy. She will always prioritize her son, but enjoys dating when she has time. She enjoys her independence,”
In the past few months, the model has had a very interesting dating history, from Brad Pitt to Harry Styles, that has certainly caught the attention of many and will be remembered for years to come. At this moment in time, Emily Ratajkowski is dedicating her time and effort to her child and her career with intense focus.
