Teigen’s post included pictures of their baby son and a description of how he was delivered. She also made mention of her family’s happiness at Esti’s arrival while they recover from losing a pregnancy in 2020.
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted four children, after losing Jack, I didn’t think I’d be able to carry any more babies on my own,” going on to say that “during that time, … one clear memory is being surrounded by people who wanted to make sure I wouldn’t go through that pain and loss again.”
She continued; “At some point, early in our surrogacy journey, I came out of a therapy session, walked downstairs and said to John – I want to try to carry just one more time. If it doesn’t work, we will be okay. We’ve already seen the worst,” she said, adding that “I promised I would be okay no matter what happened. I remember saying I just couldn’t go on wondering my whole life if I should have tried again”.
