Check out the post below:
Teigen, 35, opened up about her sobriety in 2017, telling Cosmopolitan magazine that she was scaling back on her drinking. At the time, she said she was “drinking too much,” and added that she felt better when she abstained from alcohol.
“Nobody really brought it up to me,” Teigen said, adding that there is a history of alcohol abuse in her family. “They just assumed that it was OK because I always felt OK the next morning. I knew in my heart it wasn’t right.”
Teigen has been through difficult times that would warrant a drink or five. The mother of two tragically lost her third child, whom she had named Jack; in her second trimester.
Teigen and Legend described the loss as devastating and heartbreaking, as they really wanted a third child and did everything possible to save the pregnancy. She also lamented that she would never be pregnant again.
Still, she added, “I am lucky to have two amazing little ones who are transforming into big little people more and more every single day.”
