Teigen had previously been placed on bed rest because of bleeding from her placenta, and was later hospitalized. She added that she had several blood transfusions to try to save the baby, but "it just wasn’t enough.”

"Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever," Teigen wrote. “ "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.”

The mom said that they usually wait to name their babies until right before they leave the hospital but they had started calling the unborn baby Jack while still in the womb. Teigen and Legend have two other children, Luna, 4, and. Miles, 2. She conceived both children through IVF.

Jack was conceived naturally, she said.

“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,” she added.
