"But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack,” she continued.
“So he will always be Jack to us.
"Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.”
Teigen then addressed her late son directly:
To our Jack - I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive.
We will always love you
Thank you to everyone who has been sending us positive energy, thoughts and prayers.
We feel all of your love and truly appreciate you.

We are so grateful for the life we have, for our wonderful babies Luna and Miles, for all the amazing things we’ve been able to experience.
But everyday can’t be full of sunshine.
On this darkest of days, we will grieve, we will cry our eyes out. But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it.
