John Legend insists it “made sense” for his wife Chrissy Teigen to detail the heartbreaking loss of their son on social media.
The couple were left devastated when they lost their son Jack 20 weeks into her pregnancy and Teigen opened up about their pain in a series of online posts, as well as a poignant essay which described her experience in hospital, and now Legend has defended her decision to share such intimate details of the tragedy.
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the singer explained the loss of Jack was tough on both of them. He said: “It’s hard because you feel - especially being the man in the relationship, not carrying the baby yourself - you feel this strong sense of grief but also this powerlessness, because you want to be there to protect, you want to be there to help, but you literally can’t do anything to really solve the core problem here.
“So it was just heartbreaking. We felt powerless, and it was a deep, deep grief. Deep challenge, deep pain ... We were able to get through it, but it was tough.”
