CHRISSYTEIGEN and John Legend are expecting their first child. Themodel, who has spoken openly over recent weeks about the couple's struggle toconceive and the trials of undergoing IVF treatment, announcedthe news on Instagram lastnight.

"John and I are so happy to announce that we arepregnant," Teigen said, accompanied by a smiley face emoji. "Asmany of you know, we've been trying to have a baby for a while now.It hasn't been easy, but we kept trying because we can't wait tobring our first child into the world and grow our family.

Teigen and Legend, who met in 2007 and married in 2013,took the decision to open up about trying to conceive in order tohighlight the potential problems in the practice of always askingcouples when they planned to have children.

"I will say honestly John and I were having trouble. Wewould have had kids five, six years ago if it happened," she saidin her role as a panellist along with Tyra Banks ontalk show The FABLife. "We've seen fertility doctors andonce you open up about those things to other people you learn thata lot of other people in your life are seeing these people and theyhave this shame about it. It's kind of crazy because I can'timagine being that nosy to be like, 'So, when are the kids coming?'because who knows what somebody's going through? So anytimesomebody asks if I'm going to have kids I'm just like, 'One dayyou're going to ask that to the wrong girl who is really strugglingand it's going to be really hurtful to them and I hate that. Stopasking me.'"
