John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigen 34 deep pain announce the loss of their baby Jack
Chrissy Teigen suffered a miscarriage Wednesday, three days after she was hospitalized for bleeding issues.
Teigen, 34, posted a heartbreaking hospital room photo on Instagram announcing that her unborn child, a boy, had died.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have shared the devastating news of their child being lost.
The couple took to their social media handles to share a heartbreaking post about their son, who could not avoid complications during pregnancy. The sad news came when Teigen revealed that she was hospitalized and her baby boy was in the "Danger Zone".
The model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen said late Wednesday that she and her husband, the musician John Legend, had lost their third child, a son, days after she posted on social media about suffering pregnancy complications.
“Driving home from the hospital with no baby,” Ms. Teigen wrote on Twitter. “How can this be real.”
Ms. Teigen also posted a black-and-white photograph to Twitter and Instagram that showed her sitting on a hospital bed with her hands clasped in a prayer-like position, seemingly in tears.
Ms. Teigen, 34, joined a long list of celebrities who have broken a social taboo in recent years to speak out about pregnancy loss. Others include the former first lady Michelle Obama, the singers Beyoncé and Celine Dion, the actresses Brooke Shields and Kirstie Alley and the actors Hugh Jackman and James Van Der Beek.
“We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before. We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough,” Chrissy said in the caption of an Instagram post that saw her in tears with her hands joined in prayers in her hospital bed.
She went on to reveal that although they usually waited until the baby was born to name them, Chrissy said “We, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack. So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.”
While thanking fans and friends for their support during these trying times, the couple said, “We are so grateful for the life we have, for our wonderful babies Luna and Miles, for all the amazing things we’ve been able to experience.”
They concluded, “But everyday can’t be full of sunshine. On this darkest of days, we will grieve, we will cry our eyes out. But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it.”
Chrissy shared her shock about the miscarriage in a tweet that read, “Driving home from the hospital with no baby. How can this be real?”
John and Chrissy, who are parents to two children – Luna and Miles, announced in August that they were expecting their third child. The couple made the happy announcement in Legend’s ‘Wild’ music video.
