she had two years ago was actually an abortion. She has only recently come to view the life-saving procedure as such.The model, who is currently with her fourth child with husband , opened up to the crowd at social impact agency Propper Daley’s “A Day of Unreasonable Conversation” summit, per  “Two years ago, when I was pregnant with Jack, John and my third child, I had to make a lot of difficult and heartbreaking decisions," she said. “It became very clear around halfway through that he would not survive, and that I wouldn’t either without any medical intervention.” Back in September 2020, the 36-year-old wrote in that she had lost her third child, a boy whom the family had already begun calling Jack, due to pregnancy complications.

Only after the Supreme Court overturned in June 2022 did she realize that she'd technically had an abortion. “Let’s just call it what it was: It was an abortion,” Teigen said. “An abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance.

And to be honest, I never, ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago.”According to THR, Teigen said it was actually Legend who helped her understand that she had had an abortion.

The two had been discussing her feelings of sympathy for pregnant people who were forced to make the decision to end a pregnancy when faced with the realization that the life of pregnant person and/or child was at risk.“I fell silent, feeling weird that I hadn’t made sense of it that way,” Teigen shared. “I told the world we had a miscarriage, the world agreed we had a miscarriage, all the headlines said it was a miscarriage.
