The 29-year-old actress and model announced the news that she and husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, whom she secretly married at City Hall in New York City in 2018, were expecting a baby in a recently published essay—but she’s in no rush to find out her baby’s sex.
“When my husband and I tell friends that I’m pregnant, their first question after ‘Congratulations’ is almost always ‘Do you know what you want?’ We like to respond that we won’t know the gender until our child is 18 and that they’ll let us know then,” she writes in her essay forShe continues, “Everyone laughs at this.
She continues to say that, while she understands that much of societal and life experiences become gendered, she doesn’t believe we should push any preconceptions based around gender onto babies. “I want to be a parent who allows my child to show themself to me. 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,” Ratajkowski writes, continuing to explain that she doesn’t have “any false notions of control” over whether she will have a boy or a girl.
