Teigen kept her 32.8M Insta followers constantly updated with her pregnancy amid the COVID-19 pandemic. One day prior to her heartbreaking miscarriage, Teigen told her fans she had a "really scary" morning in the hospital after a huge blood clot. Her husband remained by her side the entire time, supplying her with homemade bedside sandwiches.
The model shared their loss via Instagram on September 30. "We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before," she wrote alongside a series of black-and-white photos at the hospital, holding their son. "We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough."
The 34-year-old and the songwriter started calling their third child "Jack" as they awaited his arrival. "He will always be Jack to us," Teigen said. "Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever."

"To our Jack – I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn't give you the home you needed to survive," she wrote. "We will always love you."
The power couple — who share four-year-old daughter Luna and two-year-old son Miles — announced the expectance of their third child in Legend's "Wild" music video at the beginning of August. Teigen and Legend have been silent on Instagram since the heartbreaking news.
