LOS ANGELES: Supermodel Chrissy Teigen has revealed that she has suffered a miscarriage following a recent hospitalization.

The host-cookbook author and her husband, singer John Legend announced they were expecting a third child in the Grammy winner's music video for the song "Wild", which released in August.

Teigen, 34, took to social media on Wednesday to share the "painful" news along with a black-and-white photo of herself crying in a hospital bed.

"We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we've never felt before.

We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions.

It just wasn't enough," she wrote in the Instagram post.

The model said the couple never finalizes a baby name until after they are born, but for some reason, they decided to name the little boy Jack.

We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before. We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough. . . We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital. But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack. 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. . . 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.
