>
Chrissy Teigen has been seen for the first time since announcing she’s pregnant with her rainbow baby, two years after the death of her son Jack.
The model, 36, was seen heading out for dinner at Hotel Bel-Air with her mother Vilailuck ‘Pepper’ Teigen, and her daughter Luna, six, son Miles, four, after taking to Instagram to reveal she’s expecting her third child with husband John Legend.
Chrissy took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce her pregnancy by posting a pair of snaps of her growing bump, writing in the caption she’s feeling ‘hopeful and amazing’ to be expecting again.
In her post announcing her baby news, Chrissy admitted she was ‘too nervous’ to share her pregnancy after her baby boy Jack passed away two years ago, and that it had been a long road to be expecting after gruelling IVF treatment.
In September 2020 Chrissy and John tragically lost their third child, a baby boy they named Jack, 20 weeks into her pregnancy, with the star revealing not long afterwards she would never be able to carry a child again.

‘Every appointment I’ve said to myself, ‘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 just too nervous still.
‘I don’t think I’ll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I’m feeling hopeful and amazing. OK phew it’s been very hard keeping this in for so long!’

In February, Teigen, who announced she hit one year of sobriety last month, confirmed to her 37 million followers that she was going through the IVF process.
‘I humbly beg you to stop asking if I’m pregnant because I am the opposite of pregnant!’ she wrote on Instagram while in the process of trying to conceive again.
She continued: ‘I posted about it in my stories, but I wanted to let you guys know I’m balls deep in another IVF cycle to save as many eggos as I possibly can and hopefully make some strong, healthy embryos.’
The multihyphenate went on to express her frustration with the procedure as she noted, ‘I honestly don’t mind the shots…they make me feel like a doctor/chemist…but the bloating is a b**ch.’
She then made a plea to her fans, writing, ‘I humbly beg you to stop asking if I’m pregnant because while I know it’s said with excited, good intentions, it just kind of sucks to hear because I am the opposite of pregnant!’

In September 2020 Chrissy and her husband John Legend tragically lost their third child, a baby boy, 20 weeks into her pregnancy.
Chrissy shared the heartbreaking news with her Instagram followers shortly after the horrific experience, and posted photos of herself in the hospital mourning the loss of her child.
Not long afterwards, she revealed she would be unable to carry a child again, and posted on Instagram: ‘I love being pregnant, so so much, and I’m sad I never will be again.’
In an interview with People she then added: ‘Coming to terms with not being able to carry again is still really difficult for me because I feel so healthy. I’m like, why? But then I think about it as my uterus is just not cooperating with me – and it’s not a failure.’
Despite the loss, Chrissy expressed gratitude for her other two children, daughter Luna, five, and son Miles, three, whom were both conceived via IVF, and hinted that she and John may still expand their family through surrogacy or adoption.
Confirmed! Earlier this year, the cookbook author confirmed that she was indeed in the egg-retrieval process to expand her family, after hinting in an interview that she and John would be open to adoption or surrogacy

‘I’m so lucky for that,’ she told People last year. ‘I just think of it in terms of how blessed I am already, and also there are so many ways to have a child nowadays … whether it’s surrogacy or adoption.’
Elsewhere in the interview with the publication she aid, ‘Coming to terms with not being able to carry again is still really difficult for me because I feel so healthy. I’m like, why?
‘But then I think about it as my uterus is just not cooperating with me — and it’s not a failure.’
In keeping with Thai tradition, the hands-on parents planted a tree in their house to honour their son Jack.
‘It’s important for us in Thai tradition that we always embrace the ones we’ve lost, and they’re never, ever gone. This tree being planted inside the home, the whole reason why I wanted it was so Jack’s ashes could be in that soil and he could be with us all the time and grow through the beautiful leaves in this tree,’ she said.
‘The way Miles and Luna talk about him is so beautiful and reminds me of when I was little talking to my grandpa who was just sitting bedside next to my mom in a little urn,’ she said.
‘It’s all beautiful, and I love that tradition carries down.’
John said in an interview with The Guardian after the couple’s tragic loss: ‘It was a tragedy. But I think it strengthened our resolve and our resilience because we were there for each other. We came out even more sure of who we were as a couple and as a family.
‘It was raw, sharing our experience. I was worried but our instinct was to do it because people knew we were pregnant and Chrissy felt like she needed to tell the story completely about what happened.
‘Also, we found out how many other families have gone through this. It was a powerful and brave thing that Chrissy did to share that because it made so many people feel like they were seen and that they weren’t alone.’
