One of the many things we admire about Chrissy Teigen is her willingness to share her story with her fans, even in moments that are incredibly painful. It has been months since Teigen shared the devastating news that she and her husband John Legend had tragically lost their baby Jack, and since then she has courageously shared her grieving process. According to her Instagram story, today would be Jack’s birth date, and she shared the sweet and intimate way she keeps him close to her heart: a bracelet with his name written on it, used alongside matching bracelets for Miles and Luna.
Teigen wrote: “today is the date of delivery. we love you forever💜 ”at the top of the photo of your wrist, showing the name of the bracelets for each of your children stacked together with other pieces of jewelry.

This is hardly the only way for Teigen to make sure to keep Jack’s memory alive – she also got a tattoo of her name next to the ones she has from her family.
She was also open about the difficulties she continues to experience: As Jack’s delivery week approached, she also admitted that she was feeling what looked like baby kicks in her belly.

“My little Jack would have been born this week, so I’m a little disconnected,” she wrote on Twitter. “I really feel kicks in the belly, but it’s not a ghost. I’m having surgery for endometriosis tomorrow … but the menstrual sensation this month is just like baby kicks. sigh.”
Although Teigen can regularly face criticism for his personal postings, his words and continued defense to normalize topics like abortion and stillbirth meant a lot to many other people who suffered in silence.
These other famous parents have been open about spontaneous abortion.
