Speaking about the same, John Legend continued, “She felt like, really, that one of the ways we would carry on Jack’s memory was to take pictures of that moment. I was, like, worried. I was like, ‘I don’t want to, like, commemorate this pain.’ But the crazy thing about having a miscarriage is you don’t walk away with anything. You have this emptiness and we wanted to take the photos so that we had something to remember it by.”
Despite receiving this negativity, Chrissy Teigen fells the ‘world is inherently good’ as she experienced the kindness firsthand. Speaking about it she said, “And it’s shown itself. As hard as it was, it is beautiful to see this side of it.”
