Chrissy Teigen said late Wednesday that she and her husband, the singer John Legend, had lost their third child, a son, days after she posted on social media about suffering pregnancy complications.
“Driving home from the hospital with no baby,” Chrissy Teigen, wrote on Twitter. “How can this be real.”
Teigen also posted a black-and-white photograph on Twitter and Instagram that showed her sitting on a hospital bed with her hands clasped in a prayer-like position, seemingly in tears. Another Instagram photo shows her holding her baby as Mr. Legend kisses her shoulder.
Ms. Teigen was hospitalized on Sunday, and it was not clear how far along she was in the pregnancy. Last month, she let it slip that she was expecting a baby boy.
In an emotional post accompanying the picture, Ms. Teigen wrote on Wednesday that she and Mr. Legend, 41, had not decided on their other two children’s names until just before they left the hospital. The couple have one daughter, Luna, 4, and a son, Miles, 2.
“But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack,” she told her combined 44 million followers on the platforms. “So he will always be Jack to us.”
