Chrissy Teigen took to social media to share the heartbreaking news that she went through a miscarriage after being hospitalized for excessive bleeding.

"We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before," Teigen wrote. "We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough."

Teigen went on to say that she and her husband John Legend have never previously named their children prior to their birth but said that "for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack." She continued, "So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever."

Teigen and Legend welcomed Luna Simone Stephens, their first child, back in 2016. In 2018, they welcomed their son Miles Theodore Stephens. The couple announced that they were expecting their third child in Legend's music video for his song "Wild" featuring Gary Clark Jr.

People took to social media to offer their condolences to Teigen and Legend after the tragic news of the miscarriage was announced.
