Sebastian Bear-McClard and Alessandra Brawn reportedly expanded their family months ago without making a public announcement.
The film producer and his girlfriend welcomed their first child together, a baby boy believed to have arrived around May, according to Page Six. Multiple sources confirmed the birth to the outlet, with one saying the couple named their son Donte.
News of the baby surfaced after Bear-McClard was recently photographed walking with the child in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood. Both declined Page Six’s request for comment.
The new arrival joins a family that already included children from both parents’ previous relationships. Bear-McClard shares 5-year-old Sylvester Apollo Bear with ex-wife Emily Ratajkowski, while Brawn was already a mother of two before her relationship with Bear-McClard became public.

The couple managed to keep both the pregnancy and reported spring birth largely outside public view. Page Six’s report says Bear-McClard was only recently seen walking with the baby in SoHo, bringing the family update into public view several months after the child’s reported arrival.
The Baby Joins Three Older Children

Bear-McClard became a father for the first time in 2021. His then-wife Emily Ratajkowski announced the birth of their son, Sylvester Apollo Bear, after welcoming him on March 8 of that year, according to E! News.
Brawn entered her relationship with Bear-McClard as a mother of two. PEOPLE reports that she and Will Arnett welcomed son Alexander “Denny” Denison on May 27, 2020. The outlet also identifies Brawn’s older son, Nash, from a previous relationship.
PEOPLE describes Brawn and Arnett as having kept their relationship particularly private during their years together. The two split at the end of 2024 and remained committed co-parents to Denny, according to the outlet.
Brawn Had Already Built a Family Before Her Relationship With Bear-McClard
She married Jon Neidich in 2014 at a family friend’s villa in Tuscany. Vogue covered the wedding, which unfolded over three days and included a sunset ceremony in front of roughly 400 guests.
PEOPLE later documented Brawn’s relationship with Arnett, noting that the pair were first linked in 2019 and made their red-carpet debut together at that year’s Creative Arts Emmys. Their son Denny arrived the following May. They have largely kept the practical details of their co-parenting arrangements private.
Bear-McClard and Brawn Reportedly Knew Each Other Since Childhood
Bear-McClard and Brawn’s romantic relationship became public in September 2025, but their connection reportedly went back much further. Page Six reported at the time that the two had known each other since childhood before their friendship eventually became romantic.
PEOPLE confirms that Brawn and Arnett quietly ended their relationship in late 2024, while Bear-McClard and Ratajkowski had separated in 2022.
Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard’s divorce was finalized in 2025 after their four-year marriage had ended several years earlier. The former couple continue to share Sylvester, while Brawn and Arnett co-parent Denny.
