Chrissy Teigen Reveals Her Family Travels with Late Son’s Ashes — Kids Tell Her ‘Don’t Forget Baby Jack’
In a new interview with parenting site Scary Mommy, Chrissy Teigen opens up about how she’s been able to cope with her son’s passing and how the family keeps her late son’s memory alive.
The 35-year-old model and cookbook author shared that her family travels with their late son Jack’s ashes, PEOPLE magazine quotes:
“Whether we go on a vacation or something, they always say, ‘Don’t forget baby Jack.’ And then I have to pack him up,” Teigen says of her two kids. “And then we get to where we’re going, they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, he must be thirsty.’ This might sound crazy to people, but they’ll put a little glass of water next to his little box of ashes. And they really love being a part of it,” Teigen said of her John Legend’s daughter Luna, 5, and son Miles, 3, like to be involved in.
Speaking more about the devastating loss which she announce back in September of 2020, Teigen said that she and her husband their kids “we lost him, but it wasn’t really until we got his ashes back, I think, that they started to be able to say, ‘Okay, this happened. Here he is now. He didn’t make it.’ ”
“It was something for them to be able to put a story to, where we could say, ‘Okay, Jack is in here and he is going to stay with us. And maybe one day we might release him. And he loves that we still think about him, and he loves that we’re still emotional about him, but more than anything, he loves that we talk about him. That makes him really excited and really happy,’ ” she continues. “So they know that he’s still very much a part of our lives.”
