In October, Chrissy announced she and her husband John Legend had lost their third child, a baby boy they named Jack, after months of increasingly severe pregnancy complications and an eventual hospitalisation.
“We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” Chrissy wrote in an Instagram post at the time.
The model and chef returned to social media three weeks later with an essay posted to Medium explaining why she believed it was important that she share the experience of her pregnancy loss publicly.
“I beg you to please share your stories and to please be kind to those pouring their hearts out,” she said. “Be kind in general, as some won’t pour them out at all.”
Chrissy has been open with fans about her experience ever since. Just last month, she described her last couple of months as “brutal, exhausting, sad, physically challenging, [and] mentally painful,” but acknowledged things were improving.
“I already see the leaves as orange instead of grey, realized the sky is indeed blue and not black, and horn honks on my forced morning walks only bring me to my knees half the time,” she wrote on Instagram.

She went on: “I can make it up my stairs only stopping once or twice instead of every other, and can get out of the bathtub all by myself as long as I have the promise John will dry me off.”
“The point is,” Chrissy concluded, “fuuuuuuuuuuuck, I think it’s happening.”
Meanwhile on Tuesday, she posted a tearful video to her Instagram story, joking that she was using the “post-therapy face filter.”
And on Wednesday, Chrissy shared a photo to Instagram of her body almost three months after the loss of her baby, admitting it’s “frustrating” that she still has her bump.
“Even though I’m no longer pregnant, every glance in the mirror reminds me of what could have been,” Chrissy said. “And I have no idea why I still have this bump, honestly. It’s frustrating.”
She added: “But I’m proud of where this entire journey took my body and mind in other ways.”
She went on to say that while she’s sad she won’t ever be pregnant again, she feels lucky to be able to watch her two children — 4-year-old Luna and 2-year-old Miles — grow up.
