Public figure Emily Ratajkowski has shared moments from her son Sylvester Apollo’s birthday celebrations, offering a glimpse into their family life on her personal blog.
The first image captures the moment the model, now 31, cradles her child in her arms and gently invites the toddler to help blow out the candles on a PAW Patrol themed cake. The following photograph reveals how the little one decorated his own room as part of the birthday festivities, a cozy display that speaks to the personalization of a small child’s special day. In the third frame, two-year-old Sly is photographed with his two canine companions, both wearing red bandanas, adding a playful, heartwarming touch to the celebration.
Ratajkowski is navigating single parenthood while raising Sylvester Apollo after a separation from her ex-husband, actor and producer Sebastian Bear-McClard. News of the split surfaced earlier in the year, with the model candidly describing how daunting the decision to end the marriage felt and how much time it took to summon the resolve to move forward.
She explained a moment from the past when she faced significant emotional strain, sharing that she was very unhappy and physically depleted during that period. The account describes a brief period of intense vulnerability, including a time when she weighed only a fraction of her usual mass and faced challenges from the emotional toll of grief. In her own words, she attempted antidepressant therapy to help manage the heavy burden of heartbreak, a detail she conveyed to emphasize the depth of her experience and the commitment required to heal and rebuild a sense of balance for herself and her son.
