Emily Ratajkowski Just Welcomed First Child—& We Already Have a Name and a Pic

Major congratulations are in order for Emily Ratajkowski. The Welcome Home actress and her husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, have officially welcomed their first child together—a baby boy. And we even have the first photo.

On Thursday afternoon, the 29-year-old model revealed the exciting news in a sweet Instagram post featuring herself cradling (and possibly breastfeeding) her newborn. Lucky for us, she also casually revealed her son’s full name as well as his nickname. “Sylvester Apollo Bear has joined us earth side,” she wrote alongside the snap. “Sly arrived 3/8/21 on the most surreal, beautiful, and love-filled morning of my life.”

And it didn’t take long for the comments section to fill with love and congratulatory messages from friends, fans and followers. One individual wrote, “Ah ! Beautiful boy. So happy for you em. Enjoy the beautiful newborn bubble,” while another added, “Omg babe!!!! Congrats amor to the both of you!! What a blessing!”

We first learned that the Gone Girl star was expecting back in October 2020, when Ratajkowski shared another IG post featuring her digital cover of Vogue magazine. The cover included a Boomerang video of the expecting mother wearing an orange slip dress as she cradles her growing baby bump.

This is the couple's, who tied the knot in a surprise courthouse wedding in New York City back in 2017, first child together.

Welcome to the world, baby Sly.
