- Emily Ratajkowski revealed that she had anxiety during the split with Sebastian Bear.
- She learned to trust her instincts.
- A person is incomplete without a partner, says Ratajkowski.
In her frank account of how she split from her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, Emily Ratajkowski revealed that she had had anxiety and believed she had a mental illness.
Nevertheless, when Bear-McClard “crossed” a boundary with her as a result of which she found the “courage” to leave him, things became “clearer and clearer” for the model.
Speaking on the Going Mental podcast, Ratajkowski said, “I didn’t have the courage to leave for a long time. I was really, really unhappy.”
“I was, like, 100 pounds and I had just had a baby. I got really skinny ’cause I was not OK,” she said before adding that she tried “everything” to make herself happy and even took “antidepressants.”
“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,” she continued.

Ratajkowski continued by discussing how the idea that a person is incomplete without a partner is portrayed in the media, which makes it tougher to end a relationship.
“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,” the model, who has two-year-old Child Apollo with the film producer, added.
“Plus, I had just had a child,” she added, “so I really wanted to have that family, so it was especially hard for me to totally walk away.”
Yet the model mustered the strength to break up with Bear-McClard after they “passed” a line with Ratajkowski, about which she did not provide many information.
“For me, it was so clear and then it just became clearer and clearer and clearer, which was good, which was clarifying,” she shared.
