Teigen and Legend, 41, had revealed they were expecting their third child together in the music video for John’s new single, Wild, in August. It is unclear how far along she was in her pregnancy.
The mother-of-two had been hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Sunday night after enduring a month of bleeding due to having a weak placenta and had remained at the hospital since.
On Monday, Teigen updated fans on her condition in an Instagram post revealing she had received two blood transfusions and said, ‘baby and I are completely fine.’
‘Hello from hospital. about to have my second blood transfusion which truly, truly, truly sounds more dramatic than it is,’ she said.
‘It’s an IV, but instead of fluids, the blood of some kind human being out there. Baby and I are completely fine, just missing the little things like walking…cooking…playing with the other buttbutts.’
Teigen and Legend, who wed in 2013, are parents to daughter Luna, four, and son Miles, two.
Shortly after breaking the tragic news to her followers, Teigen took to her Twitter page to further express her shock from the loss.
‘Driving home from the hospital with no baby. How can this be real,’ she wrote.
The four photos uploaded to Chrissy’s Instagram paint a heartbreaking scene, with one of the pictures showing Chrissy crying and cradling Jack in her arms as John leaned next to them.
Another featured Chrissy sobbing as she held her hands to her face and sat at the edge of her hospital bed in nothing but a blanket and a bonnet.
