Emily Ratajkowski had a sizzling swimsuit moment while soaking up quality time with her 5-year-old son on Wednesday. During a recent vacation to Mallorca, Spain, the 35-year-old model enjoyed a relaxing day at the beach alongside her son Sylvester Apollo Bear, whom she shares with her ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. For the summer getaway, Ratajkowski turned up the heat in a tiny animal print bikini with a mesmerizing criss-cross design.
In a cheeky photo posted to her Instagram Stories, the mom of one sat with her back to the camera, showcasing the high-waisted string bikini. The two-piece swimsuit featured extra long ties that wrapped around her back in a zigzag pattern and hung down well past her waist. Keeping her accessories simple, Ratajkowski opted for a pair of diamond stud earrings and a black baseball cap to block out the sun. The leopard print bikini looked strikingly similar to one she wore during a dreamy boat ride a few days earlier.
Sitting beside her with a playful smile on his face, Sly rocked a sky blue bucket hat that blocked out the sun and a pair of pinstriped swim trunks. A closer peek at the photo revealed Ratajkowski and Sly were both sporting temporary tattoos, including a cartoon-style panda bear for her son and a matching rabbit across her shoulder blade.
Ratajkowski, who rose to fame after appearing in the music video for Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" in 2013, has since become a prominent model, actress, and author. She has graced the covers of numerous magazines, including Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and has walked the runway for high-fashion brands like Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu. In addition to her modeling career, she has written a book of essays titled "My Body," which was published in 2021 and became a New York Times bestseller. The book explores themes of feminism, objectification, and empowerment, drawing from her personal experiences in the fashion industry.
Earlier this year, Ratajkowski inked a lucrative seven-figure book deal for a memoir focused on sex and single motherhood, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. The upcoming memoir is expected to delve into her journey as a single mother after her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard, who she married in 2018 and separated from in 2022. The couple's divorce was finalized in 2023, with Ratajkowski retaining primary custody of Sylvester.
Since her split from Bear-McClard, Ratajkowski has been linked to several high-profile figures, including musician Harry Styles and comedian Eric André. More recently, she has been dating French film director Romain Gavras, who was also present on the beach during the Mallorca vacation. Gavras, known for directing films like "Athena" and "The World Is Yours," has been romantically linked to Ratajkowski since late 2025. The couple became Instagram official in a carousel posted on February 19, which featured photos of the pair on several romantic dates.
The mother-son duo frequently shares glimpses of their life together on social media, with Ratajkowski often posting candid moments from their travels and daily routines. In April 2024, she and Sly made their joint runway debut at the Chanel Mother's Day Campaign, per People. The same month, Ratajkowski took to Instagram to share a video of her son and his long blonde hair. "Never ever too much. Happy Mother's Day from Sly, @chanelofficial and me," she captioned the video of Sly running around and jumping up to hug her.
Ratajkowski has also brought Sly to several fashion events, including Paris Fashion Week in 2024, where he made his debut at the Loewe show. The pair attended the Loewe Paris Womenswear Spring/Summer 2025 show on September 27, 2024, where Sly was photographed sitting on his mother's lap. Ratajkowski's influence extends beyond modeling and writing; she has also ventured into entrepreneurship, launching a swimwear line called Inamorata in 2018. The brand has since expanded to include clothing and accessories, and has been worn by celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber.
In addition to her fashion endeavors, Ratajkowski has appeared in films such as "Gone Girl," "We Are Your Friends," and "I Feel Pretty." She has also acted in television series like "The Spoils Before Dying" and "Easy." Her acting career, while not as prominent as her modeling, has allowed her to showcase her versatility as a performer. Ratajkowski has also been a vocal advocate for women's rights and body positivity, often speaking out against the objectification of women in the media.
The beach outing in Mallorca is just one of many vacations Ratajkowski has taken with her son this year. The pair have also traveled to Italy, France, and the United Kingdom, often documenting their adventures on Instagram. Ratajkowski has expressed the importance of spending quality time with Sly, especially after her divorce. In a previous interview with Vogue, she said, "Being a mama means doing a lot of quiet, hard work that often no one witnesses. I'm proud of all you mamas—your love and dedication might just be the most beautiful thing in this world."
As Ratajkowski continues to balance her career and motherhood, she remains a influential figure in pop culture. Her ability to navigate the complexities of fame, parenting, and personal relationships has endeared her to fans around the world. With a new memoir on the horizon and her ongoing relationship with Gavras, Ratajkowski shows no signs of slowing down. Her recent beach day in Spain serves as a reminder of her effortless style and the joy she finds in spending time with her son.
