Chrissy Teigen has announced she is expecting her third child with husband John Legend, almost two years later they share heartbreaking loss of her unborn son.
On Wednesday, Teigen shared the good news on her Instagram along with a mirror selfie that showed off her growing bump. She wrote that she was nervous to share the news, but that she feels “hopeful and amazing.”
“The past few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again,” Teigen wrote. “1 billion shots later (in the leg lately as you can see!) we have another one on the way. At every appointment I would say to myself, ‘ok if it’s healthy today I’ll announce’ but then breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I’m still too nervous.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever walk away from a date with more excitement than nerves, but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I feel upbeat and amazing. Okay, it’s been really hard to hold it in for so long!” she added.
Tiegen’s pregnancy comes after the loss of her unborn son, whom they named Jack, in September 2020. Teigen shared that she had suffered a miscarriage after being hospitalized for excessive bleeding.
“We’re shocked and at the deep pain that you’re only hearing, pain that we’ve never felt before,” Teigen she wrote in an Instagram post at the time.
“We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, right before we leave the hospital. But, for some reason, we’ve started calling this little boy in my belly Jack. So he’s going to always Be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family and he will be forever. We couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you.”
