Shortly after posting a heart-rendering essay in which she opens up about grief and pregnancy loss, Chrissy Teigen revealed a beautiful tattoo tribute to her son Jack, whom she lost last September.
Chrissy Teigen and her husband, John Legend, lost their baby on September 30th due to pregnancy complications. On social media, they then opened up about their grief, sharing; “We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before”.
After taking a break from all social platforms to grieve the loss, Teigen took to social media and posted an incredibly emotional essay on pregnancy loss. She shared that she was diagnosed with partial placenta abruption and that she was told her life would be at risk if the pregnancy had continued, adding that “even as I write this now, I can feel the pain all over again”.
The couple also opened up about their son’s name, explaining that normally, they don’t decide on the babies’ name until the last possible moment – but out of anticipation, they both started calling the baby Jack. Teigen wrote, “Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever”.
One month later, Teigen then shared her tattoo tribute to her son, which reads Jack’s name, etched onto her wrist in cursive, right above another family tribute tattoo which features ‘John – Luna – Miles’ – a nod to her husband, daughter, and son.
Despite all the grief and pain, she also thanks everyone who sent their best wishes, both in real life or through social media, sharing; “The moments of kindness have been nothing short of beautiful”.
