John Legend has revealed he and Chrissy Teigen’s marriage was ‘tested’ after the loss of their baby during pregnancy.
The singer, 43, and his model wife, 36, lost their baby son, who they had called Jack, in September 2020.
John admitted for their marriage, but ultimately their relationship ended up coming out stronger because of it.
He told The Guardian: ‘We were tested. It was a tragedy. But I think it strengthened our resolve and our resilience because we were there for each other.
‘We came out even more sure of who we were as a couple and as a family.’
The pair had opened up about their miscarriage on social media, with Chrissy sharing a series of raw and emotional photographs from the hospital.
As well as receiving support from fans, some questioned their decision to share the personal experience so publicly.
John added ‘It was raw, sharing our experience. I was worried but our instinct was to do it because people knew we were pregnant and Chrissy felt like she needed to tell the story completely about what happened.
‘I was amazed by the outpouring of love and support we felt. Also, we found out how many other families have gone through this.
‘It was a powerful and brave thing that Chrissy did to share that because it made so many people feel like they were seen and that they weren’t alone.’
Chrissy wrote on Instagram at the time, along with photos of her and John with their stillborn son: ‘We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before.
‘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.’
