Chrissy Teigen has opened up about the tragic loss of her unborn son back in September and how the experience inspired her to put her health first and reach sobriety.
On the “Ellen DeGeneres Show,” the model and cookbook author, 35, didn’t shy away from describing the impact the loss had on her and her husband, John Legend, saying she is still “coming to terms with it in a way,” Good Morning America reported.
"I go through my closet and I see ... I have maternity clothes, things that I bought for my eighth month and my ninth month," she explained. "So it's just hard because he would've been born this week, and so you look at those things and you have these constant reminders of him."
"But being Thai and being raised in a house that was very open about loss," Teigen added, "I think it was really helpful because I see it as it can be a beautiful thing."
The model revealed that while she is in therapy to cope with the loss, “"In a way, he really saved me, because I don't think that I would've discovered therapy and then sobriety and then this path of kind of just really feeling good about myself and feeling like a new person."
"What you learn through it about yourself is such a wild, incredible thing," she added.
Teigen announced that she was 4 weeks sober in December.
Teigen added during the interview that her two children, Luna, 4, and Miles, 2, have helped with the grieving process by continuing to honor their little brother.
"It's been so beautiful to see my kids, the way they talk about him, too. They're so open and sweet. When we go to the beach or something they'll say, 'Is baby Jack with us right now? Do you think he's up in the clouds,'" she revealed. "It's just so beautiful and so sweet."
"You really don't know the meaning of the word 'unimaginable' until something like that happens to you," she said.
