Chrissy Teigen and husband John Legend are expecting another child nearly 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 “has 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 wrote about her fertility journey and being too nervous to reveal her pregnancy.

“At every appointment I’ve said to myself, ‘OK, if it’s healthy today I’ll announce it,’ but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I’m still too nervous,” she wrote. “I don’t think I’ll ever come 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 into her pregnancy. Teigen was hospitalized with excessive bleeding before the miscarriage.
That same year, Teigen wrote an essay explaining that doctors diagnosed her with a partial placental abruption. She then urged people to share their stories and “please be kind to those who pour their hearts out.”
Teigen’s opening up about stillbirth was praised at the time for demystifying a common and heartbreaking experience.
Legend and Teigen married in 2013.
