Chrissy Teigen has revealed that it has taken more than a year to understand that her miscarriage was in fact a life-saving abortion. Chrissy, 36, and her husband, John Legend, 43, shared the devastating news that they have lost their son Jack at 20 weeks in 2020 following complications. Speaking at A Day of Unreasonable Conversation summit on Thursday she said the realisation she’d had an abortion and not a miscarriage was a “shock”.
An emotional picture shared on her Instagram two years ago said: "despite blood transfusions, it just wasn’t enough" to save Jack's life. "It became very clear around halfway through that he would not survive, and that I wouldn’t either without any medical intervention,” she said at the summit. She continued: “Let’s just call it what it was: It was an abortion.
An abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance. And to be honest, I never, ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago.” Chrissy and John are already parents to Luna, six, and Miles, four.The model and food writer added that she came to the realisation she’d had an abortion after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade in June. It was Legend who said that they’d had an abortion.The TV personality said: “I fell silent, feeling weird that I hadn’t made sense of it that way.
“I told the world we had a miscarriage, the world agreed we had a miscarriage, all the headlines said it was a miscarriage. And I became really frustrated that I didn’t, in the first place, say what it was. "I felt silly that it had taken me over a year to actually understand that we had had an abortion," she continued, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
