1 August, 2024

Chrissy Teigen is proud of her son Miles’ medical journey.

The Cravings author took to Instagram to share that her six-year-old son, whom she shares with husband John Legend, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

Teigen explained that fans noticed a monitor on Miles’ arm in a photo from the Paris Olympics she shared earlier this week. “A lot of you noticed something a little special about a photo I posted a few days ago,” she captioned a picture of herself smiling Miles and her oldest daughter Luna at the games. “Luna, Miles and I celebrating Simone and team USA. Miles had his arm up, soooo many of you reached out to say the most beautiful and incredible words I have ever witnessed on this platform.”

She continued, “You noticed his type -1 diabetes monitor and extended so much love and encouragement in every way possible. I was and am, so blown away by the kindness of this community already. I know. Things could be so much worse!! So many parents around the world are going through unfathomable things that I could never imagine. I tell myself this every time we get a red alert blasted to our phones. And we are so blessed to have so much help and wonderful, kind, huge-hearted specialist.”

The Sports Illustrated model also shared a photo of the book Year One With Type-1, revealing that she and Legend read it to Miles, which led to an emotional moment.

“John and I read it to Miles last night and I burst into tears at this page and had to leave the room so he couldn’t see me sobbing,” she wrote. “He loves the book so much already. Anyhow, you are not alone either! And we promise to be there for you guys like you have been there for us already!”
