The post showcased a carousel of images: a couple showed lengthy messages explaining how their fourth baby came to fruition, while others revealed the adorable-looking baby who already has a head full of hair. After searching for the perfect candidate both parents were comfortable with, the couple met Alexandra, whom Teigen is particularly fond of.

When the second embryo transfer took, the couple was over the moon to learn that Alexandra was carrying a baby boy. What made the news even more special was that it came at the same time Teigen had already been carrying baby Esti for a couple of months.

“All our wishes and dreams aligned. I wanted to be her friend; I wanted our children to play; I wanted dinner together. I wanted to lay my head on her belly and be able to feel the hiccups and kicks. I wanted them to be in our lives for as long as time would allow.”

Chrissy Teigen Had an Abortion That Saved Her Life

In September 2020, Teigen and Legend devastatingly revealed that they lost what would have been their third baby at 20 weeks. The late baby Jack could not make it due to Teigen experiencing complications during her pregnancy. Initially, the couple had announced the loss as a miscarriage.

However, while speaking at Propper Daley’s “A Day of Unreasonable Conversation” social impact agency summit, Teigen disclosed that when she and Legend lost Jack, what they experienced was actually an abortion instead of a miscarriage. The revelation came as a shock to the mom of four, who hadn’t realized what the medical procedure really was until later on.

“Two years ago, when I was pregnant with Jack… I had to make a lot of difficult and heartbreaking decisions. It became very clear around halfway through that he would not survive and that I wouldn’t either without any medical intervention.”

In addition to the fantastic medical care she had, the couple was lucky enough to have a strong and loving support system of friends and family who helped them through the pain of their significant loss. Fans and people who knew of the tragic news showered the model with an outpouring of love and well wishes, which Teigen greatly appreciated as well. While continuing to speak freely of her story, Teigen divulged:

“Let’s just call it what it was: It was an abortion. An abortion to save my life for a baby [with] absolutely no chance.”

Though it took a while for Teigen to wrap her head around the fact that what she experienced was an abortion instead of a miscarriage, the doting mom was blessed to have gotten the family she always wanted in the long run. She makes no secret of the fact that she is humbly blessed to have welcomed her fourth child and still acknowledges baby Jack and keeps him in her memory forever:

“And to our Jack, we know both their angel kisses are from you.”

Teigen and Legend are extremely happy about the fourth edition of their beautiful family. After going through such challenging times, devastation, and grief, they have been blessed to get the family they always wanted.
