Chrissy Teigen and her husband John Legend are expecting another child almost two years after the couple suffered a pregnancy loss.
Teigen made the announcement Wednesday on Instagram, where she posted two photos of her baby bump. She wrote that joy “filled our home and our hearts again” after a miscarriage in 2020, which she documented in intimate detail afterward.
“We have another one on the way,” wrote the 36-year-old model and cookbook author, who shares two children — Luna and Miles — with Legend. In the post, she writes about her fertility journey and being too nervous to reveal her pregnancy.

“At every appointment I would say to myself, ‘OK, if it’s healthy today, I’ll announce,’ but then I’d sigh with relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I was still too nervous,” she wrote. “I don’t think I’ll ever walk out of a date with more excitement than nerves, but so far everything is perfect and beautiful and I feel hopeful and amazing.”
In 2020, the couple made a heartbreaking announcement after losing their son Jack at 20 weeks pregnant. Teigen was hospitalized with heavy bleeding before the miscarriage.
That same year, Teigen wrote an essay in which she explained that doctors had diagnosed her with a partial placental abruption. At the time, she urged people to share their stories and “please be kind to those who pour their hearts out.”
Teigen’s openness about stillbirth was praised at the time for demystifying a common and heartbreaking experience.
Legend and Teigen married in 2013.
