Chrissy Teigen recently shared an update on how her family is adjusting to her son Miles’ type 1 diabetes diagnosis. In a heartfelt Instagram post on November 23, the model and TV personality opened up about their ongoing journey, responding to a fan’s inquiry about their experience.
The post featured a carousel of family photos, including her children: Miles, 8-year-old Luna, 22-month-old Esti, and 17-month-old Wren. Teigen’s caption celebrated the lively energy in their home: “House is alive! Alphabets and counting, big kids being big, and becoming funny little humans. It’s a lot, but it’s perfect.”
A follower’s comment prompted Chrissy to address Miles’ diagnosis more directly, asking if she planned to share more about it. Teigen responded candidly, “I definitely plan to! We are still learning over here ourselves.”
Teigen first revealed Miles’ diagnosis on July 31, after eagle-eyed fans noticed him wearing a diabetes monitor in a previous post. Feeling a sense of responsibility, she and her husband, singer John Legend, decided to share the news publicly.
“A lot of you noticed something a little special about a photo I posted a few days ago,” she wrote at the time. “Miles had his arm up, and soooo many of you reached out to say the most beautiful and incredible words I have ever witnessed on this platform.”
The couple’s openness about Miles’ condition has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and others who have experienced type 1 diabetes in their own lives. The autoimmune condition requires ongoing management, including regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and insulin administration.
Teigen and Legend, known for their transparency on social media, have shown resilience as they navigate this new chapter with their family. While still adapting, Teigen’s willingness to share glimpses of their journey highlights the challenges and triumphs of managing a chronic condition like diabetes.
With the family continuing to learn and grow together, Teigen’s candid updates serve as a reminder of the importance of community and support during challenging times. Fans eagerly anticipate more of her reflections and insights as she shares their journey with Miles.
