Chrissy Teigen Opens Up About Losing Her Son
In a heartfelt letter on Medium, Chrissy Teigen opened up about her miscarriage last month.
In her letter, Teigen candidly shares her experience in the hospital and the events that led up to her losing her son, Jack. She thanked her husband, John Legend, her mother and her friends, family and fans for supporting her through their loss. She also responded to critics who took issue with her sharing photos of her hospitalization.
“I cannot express how little I care that you hate the photos. How little I care that it’s something you wouldn’t have done. I lived it, I chose to do it, and more than anything, these photos aren’t for anyone but the people who have lived this or are curious enough to wonder what something like this is like. These photos are only for the people who need them. The thoughts of others do not matter to me.”
Teigen also shared how she’s moving on and relearning to be happy every day and how she hopes her journey will help others heal.
“I wrote this because I knew for me I needed to say something before I could move on from this and return back to life, so I truly thank you for allowing me to do so,” she said. “Jack will always be loved, explained to our kids as existing in the wind and trees and the butterflies they see.”
