Chrissy Teigen announces that she and John Legend are expecting another baby

“We have another one on the way,” she wrote in an Instagram post showing off her baby bump, later adding, “so far everything is perfect and beautiful and I feel hopeful and amazing.”

Teigen and Legend have been married for almost 9 years and have two children, Luna and Miles.

“The past few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has once again filled our home and hearts,” Teigen, 36, wrote, appearing to refer to her miscarriage in 2020. Following the miscarriage, Teigen spoke openly about her experience, sharing the immense shock and pain she and her husband have endured. Her decision to share the news was seen as a blow against a long-standing culture of silence about pregnancy loss, even though 10% to 25% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to the American Pregnancy Association.

The couple previously said their first 2 children were conceived through IVF, and in her announcement Wednesday, Teigen said the new baby was on the way “1 billion photos later.”

Teigen was hesitant to announce her pregnancy, she said.

“At every appointment I’ve had, I’ve been like, ‘ok, if it’s healthy today, I’ll announce,’ but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I’m still too nervous,” she wrote.

“Okay, ugh,” she wrote, “it was very hard to keep this up for so long!”
