The Cravings author, who is expecting her third child with John Legend, took to Instagram on Dec. 19 to upload a single snap of herself sitting in a pool as her growing belly sat atop the water. She sported a beige and pink string bikini with her hair tied in a top-knot bun, appearing makeup-free and fresh-faced in the photo. Tropical scenery served as a beautiful backdrop for the capture, with large rocks, grassy hills, blue skies above, and the ocean down below all making it into the shot. Teigen seemed tranquil in the image, but made sure to address some nagging comments she has apparently been getting concerning her current pregnancy. “‘omg I feel like she’s been pregnant foreverrrrrr’ how do you think I feel thank u,” she captioned the post. Fans, followers, and friends hopped into the comments to both show love for the photo and defend her sentiment. One social media user penned a note sharing her own experience with in vitro fertilization (IVF)—which the model has been transparent about her journey with—letting Teigen know she can relate to her current situation. “When we did ivf and I had to “act pregnant” through fertility treatments and then from transfer, I literally felt like I was incubating an elephant it took so long! Congrats to you!” she shared. A second Instagrammer added, “Pregnancy sucks 🤷🏽♀️ (saying that as I am right now). People are always like grinning and awww and it’s not a cute and fuzzy time for all of us,” while singer Melanie Fiona quipped, “I hope you feel like punching those people 😂😂😂 I know I did 🤷🏾♀️” On the other hand, several were just happy to see the TV personality lively and in good physical condition. “Congratulations! Who cares what other people say! Sending you strength to bringing the next little Legend into the world ❤️” one user wrote, while another expressed, “We are all just thankful for this long, healthy pregnancy! 🙌” Teigen has also recently shared plenty of joyful Christmas content, including a few photos of the family of four posing with Santa and Mrs. Claus, snapshots in festive “ugly sweaters,” and video footage with her kids making sweet treats for their teachers. Sending well wishes to Chrissy and John as they celebrate the holidays and prepare to welcome their newest bundle of joy!
