Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are officially ready to expand their family, Teigen tells InStyle in its November issue. The couple used IVF to conceive their daughter Luna after Teigen struggled for years to get pregnant. Now they plan to have their remaining fertilized egg implanted into Teigen's womb in the "coming months."
Teigen says the couple started with 20 embryos, and after scanning for imperfections and narrowing the selection 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." Their remaining embryo is a boy—meaning if the embryo is successfully implanted, Luna will have a little brother.
Teigen has been open about her struggles, both with getting pregnant and with postpartum depression after Luna's birth. But she's prepared to face both those challenges again, she tells InStyle. And to be open about them, again. "I have really good days and really bad days, and I don't tend to talk about the really bad days," she says of the depression. "But I would hate for people to think those days didn't exist."
