American singer/songwriter John Legend has come out to speak about his family, especially his wife, Chrissy Teigen’s miscarriage, and how the tragedy brought them closer and made them stronger.
John Legend made this known in a recent New Yorker profile, where he spoke about that experience and how it changed their lives.
He said, “It made us stronger, going through this together, even though we were broken in some way by it because we had to hold each other together and support each other through it, it’s a way of forging you.”
The singer continued, “Not only was it the honest thing to do, what it did was open up more of a conversation among people who were afraid to share that kind of detail, who felt ashamed if they lost a pregnancy.”
And with Chrissy Teigen pregnant again, John Legend said, “I’m not anticipating filling the hole that we felt when we lost Jack, I just feel it’ll be a new person in our lives to love and to make our lives more joyful.
We’ll still always carry some of that grief from Jack, but we’ll just keep living and loving and finding joy in life.”
If you would recall, in September 2020, Chrissy Teigen shared on her social media pages that she had suffered a miscarriage after she was diagnosed with a partial placenta abruption and had to deliver their son, Jack, at twenty weeks, but the baby didn’t make it alive.
