In July, a source close to Ratajkowski confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple had split.
"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 told PEOPLE at the time.
As Page Six first reported, speculation about a possible separation began in July after the model was seen running errands without her wedding ring. She also was not wearing it in her Instagram photos this summer.

The duo was first romantically linked in 2018 after they were spotted showing PDA on Valentine's Day. After dating for only a few weeks, Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard tied the knot in a surprise ceremony at N.Y.C.'s City Hall that same month.
In an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after their wedding, the I Feel Pretty star opened up to host Jimmy Fallon about how Bear-McClard popped the question.
"He proposed to me at Minetta Tavern and he didn't have a ring, so I was like mmm, nah," she shared. "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."

As for her wedding, Ratajkowski told Fallon that they both wanted something low-key, adding that the yellow Zara suit that she got married in was supposed to help her go incognito.
"I guess I didn't really know what I always wanted to do, which is why I wore a mustard yellow suit and a black hat, which was all part of my plan to not be noticed," she told Fallon. "Everyone wore suits or sweatsuits and my husband is good friends with The Fat Jew — The Fat Jewish on Instagram — they went to high school together, they grew up together. And he wore a white jumpsuit, like sweatsuit, so I was thinking that he would be the decoy."
But of course, she was noticed. "It truly didn't work out quite as I imagined," she joked.
In March 2021, the couple welcomed their first baby together, son Sylvester Apollo.
Ratajkowski first shared the news of pregnancy in an essay for Vogue and revealed why she didn't reveal her baby's gender before birth and how she wants her child to find their own identity.
"I want to be a parent who allows my child to show themself to me," she wrote in part. "And yet I realize that while I may hope my child can determine their own place in the world, they will, no matter what, be faced with the undeniable constraints and constructions of gender before they can speak or, hell, even be born."
