Chrissy Teigen’s son Jack has died after pregnancy complications.

Teigen was recently hospitalized due to bleeding during her pregnancy, and the situation took a tragic turn Wednesday. She wrote an incredibly sad and heartfelt message on Instagram announcing that her son Jack had died after complications with the pregnancy.

“To our Jack – I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive.  We will always love you,” Teigen wrote in part on Instagram when sharing photos with her husband John Legend.

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. . . We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital.  But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack.  So he will always be Jack to us.  Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever. . . To our Jack – I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive.  We will always love you. . . Thank you to everyone who has been sending us positive energy, thoughts and prayers.  We feel all of your love and truly appreciate you. . . We are so grateful for the life we have, for our wonderful babies Luna and Miles, for all the amazing things we’ve been able to experience.  But everyday can’t be full of sunshine.  On this darkest of days, we will grieve, we will cry our eyes out. But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it.

This is an absolute tragedy, and there’s really no other way to put it. I can’t imagine the pain her and John Legend must be going through right now.

Death is never easy. In fact, it’s one of the worst parts about the human existence. However, the death of a child takes things to an entirely different level.

Her family’s world has been turned upside down, and it’s heartbreaking, sad and something that will take a ton of time to recover from.
