A number of celebrities have reached out to Chrissy Teigen and John Legend after the pair announced their unborn baby had died.

The couple shared the devastating news, which comes after Teigen, 34, was admitted to hospital earlier this week complaining of continuous bleeding, on Instagram.

The emotional post said of the “deep pain” they were feeling, and how they had already called the baby “Jack”.

Kim Kardashian, who is good friends with the pair, sent her love to the couple, commenting on the post: “We’re always here for you and love you guys so much.”

Model Hailey Bieber commented: “I’m so so sorry. Thinking of you and John, praying for you guys and sending you so much love during this time.”

Actor Channing Tatum said: “Sending so much love to you right now,” while Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul wrote: “I love you.”

The most-liked comment on the heartbreaking post was from a fan called Joe Fahed, who said: “In Lebanese culture, we believe babies like Jack are angels that God selectively chooses to watch over you. Sending you light.”

His comment was seen by Amanda Holden, who gave birth via caesarean to a stillborn son, Theo, in 2011.

Replying to the post, she said: “This is how I deal with my loss.”

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.

“Wishing you all the strength in the world for you and your beautiful family to get through this together.”

Teigen was admitted to hospital earlier this week, and had seemed in good spirits, reassuring her followers on social media that the baby was in good health.

“We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” she has since written. “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.”

The pair, who share Luna, 4, and two-year-old Miles, added they had decided to call the baby Jack while Teigen was expecting.

“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,” Teigen added. “We will always love you.”
