On August 3, Chrissy Teigen went onto Instagram to announce she was pregnant with baby number three. She posted a picture in her closet mirror showing off her baby bump.

She captioned the photo, “The last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again 1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as u can see!) we have another on the way. Every appointment I’ve said to myself, ‘ok if its 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 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!”

This is her fourth pregnancy with her husband, John Legend. She has a daughter Luna who is six, and a son Miles who is four. Her third pregnancy was in September 2020 where she had sadly experienced a pregnancy loss. The loss was due to bleeding and placenta abruption, which caused her to have to go into labor at 20 weeks. 

Teigan has been known to be public about her fertility struggles. Back in February she told her supporters she started going through IVF to get pregnant again. IVF is a medical procedure where an egg is fertilized by sperm in a test tube or elsewhere outside the body. She wanted this to be known as her fans were noticing her bloated stomach and speculating she was pregnant.

It is unsure how far along Teigan is or what the sex of the baby is, but from the picture posted, she looks to be somewhere in her second trimester.
