Bear Blu Jarecki: All We Know about Alicia Silverstone's Son with Ex-husband Christopher Jarecki

Alicia Silverstone's son, Bear Blu Jarecki, makes his own decisions regarding physical appearance and housing with either of his parents. However, many have critiqued his mother's parenting methods.

Alicia Silverstone started her career at a young age when she landed commercial roles. Her first on-screen appearance was on "The Wonder Years" in 1988.

She later moved to big-screen roles, appearing in "The Crush" and "Fatal Attraction," but it was her most famous "Clueless" character, Cher, that cemented her name in the entertainment industry.

"Clueless" premiered in 1995 and became a box office success, especially amongst teenagers. More opportunities knocked on Alicia's door since, gaining her success in show business.

Amidst her fame, Alicia married musician and radio host Christopher Jarecki. The couple tied the knot in 2005 and remained married for 13 years until their divorce in 2018.

Although their relationship was unsuccessful, their love brought something good into their lives, their son Bear Blu Jarecki.

ALL WE KNOW ABOUT ALICIA SILVERSTONE'S SON BEAR BLU JARECKI

Bear Blu Jarecki was born on May 5, 2011, at 7:50 a.m. Then 34, Bear's mom welcomed him, weighing 7 pounds and 15 ounces. She said at that time:

"We are all three in love! I'm so grateful to this community for all the love, support, good wishes, and happy vibes you've sent me during my pregnancy […]. It has been wonderful."

Alicia was undoubtedly happy to welcome her firstborn, but bringing Bear into the world was no easy feat. The actress withstood 27 hours of labor and endured the painful process without painkillers, her personal choice, after an emergency Caesarian section.

"The first 14 hours [were] almost sexy," she said about enjoying the first part of labor. "The [hormone] oxytocin was doing all this magic, and it felt amazing, and then it got less than amazing. It just got really intense as labor is."

Although Bear Blu is still young and has years to choose his career path, following in his mother's footsteps as an actor is likely to happen. In 2020, the young boy made two on-screen appearances in "The Babysitters Club" and "Meet Cherry the Turkey PSA."

Whatever he chooses, Bear Blu's mom will undoubtedly support him. She has given her son independence in deciding some things in his life, including his appearance, such as growing his hair long. Keeping his locks was a decision Bear made, sadly getting him bullied.

"One time, my son was made fun of by other kids because of his hair on a bus ride to surf camp," the "Clueless" star once shared. "After he had returned and told me, I thought he would want to cut it." However, Bear Blu only wanted a trim and still aimed to grow it until his waist.

In 2020, Bear Blu finally decided to cut his long hair and have a significant physical transformation. The proud mom documented the cut and posted it on Instagram, noting that her son wanted to try something new. "No matter what, though, I will always support my sweet, caring, and precious little boy in every decision he makes," she wrote.

Bear Blu often appears on Alicia's Instagram, and in 2021, he made his TikTok debut on her first ever post on the platform. Curious fans who want a glimpse of their life can always check in on social media.

The "Senior Year" star raises Bear alongside her ex-husband, Christopher. They always prioritize their son and make sure he feels loved and well cared for. When it comes to staying with a parent, Alicia revealed that Bear Blu's opinion always matters, and his decision is followed. She said:

"Bear and his daddy and I flow really well together."

She raised him with a zen parenting style and explained how his behavior affects her if need be. "I'll use a serious voice, but I never yell," she shared. While it takes a lot of patience on her end, Alicia's parenting style raised an excellent young man.

ALICIA SILVERSTONE FACED HARSH CRITICISM BECAUSE OF HER PARENTING STYLE

However, no matter how much their dynamics work, Alicia still deals with critics for her parenting style. After giving birth, she started consuming placenta to avoid having mood swings and feeling depressed. Back then, there were already people questioning her methods.

As time passed, more unsolicited opinions were given by strangers. When she revealed that Bear Blu stays healthy through veganism and thus does not need medicines, people also began talking.

During an interview with ET, the doting mom revealed that she and her 11-year-old son still sleep on the same bed and did not care about the criticism that came with it. "I don't really care," she said. "If you were in any kind of wild setting where there are animals if you put your baby over there, your baby is going to get eaten."

According to the celebrity, she is simply following nature and the world's natural order. "I believe in nature, and our society is scared of nature and love," she added. Alicia is both a vegan and an animal lover, a lifestyle that has done wonders for her.
