The 29-year-old model and her husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, have become first-time parents after Emily gave birth to a son named Sylvester Apollo Bear on March 3.

Posting a picture of herself breastfeeding her baby, Emily wrote on Instagram: “Sylvester Apollo Bear has joined us earth side. Sly arrived 3/8/21 on the most surreal, beautiful, and love-filled morning of my life. (sic)”

Many of Emily’s celebrity friends commented on the snap to congratulate the new mother, including singer Halsey who is currently expecting her own baby.

She wrote: “CONGRATULATIONS MAMA!!!!! (sic)”

Whilst Karrueche Tran added: “CONGRATSSSSSSS (sic)”, and Martha Hunt penned: “yesss congrats Em!! (sic)”

Meanwhile, the beauty recently said she "never really understood" what it was like to make a family before she fell pregnant, and insisted she felt “really lucky” to be expecting a baby.

She said: "I've never really understood what it would be like to make a family and growing a family is an amazing eye opening experience and I feel really lucky. I don't know what motherhood is going to be like of course because this is my first time and everyone as such different experiences and perspectives. So, the best thing to do is just trust in the process and take each day at a time and then see where this ride takes me."

However, Emily also previously admitted she was finding pregnancy "lonely".

She explained: "My husband likes to say that ‘we’re pregnant’. I tell him that while the sentiment is sweet, it’s not entirely true. I resent that his entire family’s DNA is inside of me but that my DNA is not inside him. ‘It just seems unfair,’ I say, and we both laugh. It’s kind of a joke, but there is truth behind it. Pregnancy is innately lonely; it’s something a woman does by herself, inside her body, no matter what her circumstances may be. Despite having a loving partner and many female friends ready to share the gritty details of their pregnancies, I am ultimately alone with my body in this experience."
