Chrissy Teigen Reveals She & John Legend Are Trying For A 2nd Child Through IVF

Chrissy Teigen is on the cover of the November 2017 issue of InStyle Magazine looking pretty and spilling it all like we’ve come to expect of her.

The model and wife to singer John Legend shares with the magazine their attempt to have a second baby through IVF, her struggle with postpartum depression, getting blocked by Donald Trump among other things.

On being the luckier one in their marriage: “I’m much luckier to have John’s personality in my life than he is to have mine,” she says, letting out one of her frequent high-pitched giggles. “He is insanely patient and such a dork, and he loves seeing me happy, even if that means watching The Real Housewives of Dallas with me for two and a half hours.” On her end, “I mean, I don’t care about half the s— he’s doing either. But there’s a balance. If he’s watching MSNBC and is excited about something, then I’ve got to be in that realm.”

On having another baby through IVF: The pair have been open about their struggles to conceive and their plans to use IVF to have more children. Teigen tells me she now wishes she had extracted more eggs during her round of fertility treatments a few years ago. She and Legend started with about 20 embryos, and after checking for imperfections and narrowing them down to the ones that “you know are going to be good for your body,” they were left with three. “The first little girl didn’t work, and then the second is Luna,” she says. The third is the one they will transfer to her womb in the coming months.

On her outspoken Twitter personality and having to go private because of mean comments: Late last year Teigen temporarily made her Twitter account private “for my mental health,” she says. The platform’s unavoidable mean streak just became “too much to handle. I really do understand why some people never post anything, ever.” Though many people interpret Teigen’s irreverence as a sure sign of fearlessness, she recognizes that it’s also a classic defense mechanism. Often, she says, “it stops people from coming at me. If you share everything and make fun of yourself, then other people won’t make the joke, because you’ve already made it.”

On getting blocked on Twitter by Donald Trump: She began taunting Donald Trump about nine years ago, when Twitter was still in its infancy and Trump was mainly occupied with things like The Apprentice and the Miss USA Pageant. “I’ve truly disliked him as a human for that long,” she says. “So imagine how it felt when he got elected president.” In December 2015 Trump hit back at Teigen by retweeting someone else’s opinion that she was “trashy” and not as beautiful as his wife, Melania. This past July, after Teigen tweeted at him “lol no one likes you,” Trump had finally had it and blocked Teigen outright. Nowadays, if she wants to read one of his tweets on her phone, “I have to have John screenshot it to me,” she says. “Like, that’s our president!”
