Model and actress Emily Ratajkowski is expecting her first child with her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.
The star (29) made the announcement in a video with Vogue magazine, showing her growing belly in images directed by television writer Lena Dunham.
“I will appreciate this video as long as I live,” Ratajkowski wrote on Instagram.
She said she wrote and filmed the video herself and that it was filmed at her home.
In a companion interview with Vogue, Ratajkowski explained why she doesn’t want to reveal the baby’s gender.
“We like to respond that we won’t know gender until our son is 18 and that they will let us know then,” he said.
“Everyone laughs at this. Yet there is a truth to our line, one that hints at possibilities that are far more complex than any genital our child is born with: the truth that ultimately we have no idea who, rather than what, is. growing inside my belly.
Who will this person be? What kind of person will we become parents to? How will our lives change and who are we? This is a wonderful and terrifying concept, one that leaves us defenseless and humiliated. “
Ratajkowski, whose film roles include Gone Girl and In Darkness, described her fears about having a son or daughter.
She said Bear-McClard, whom she married in 2018, told her: “I am concerned that a girl has a lot to accomplish as her daughter.”
On having a child, Ratajkowski said: “I have met too many white men who move around the world without realizing their privilege, and many of my experiences with them have traumatized me.
“And guys too; It is shocking to realize how young boys acquire a sense of entitlement to girls’ bodies and to the world at large. I am not afraid of raising a ‘bad boy’ as many of the men I have met who abuse their power do so unintentionally.
“But I am terrified of inadvertently cultivating the carelessness and lack of awareness that are so convenient for men. It feels much more overwhelming to create an understanding of privilege in a child than to teach simple black and white morality.
“How do I raise a child who learns to like himself while teaching him his position of power in the world?”
