Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are navigating a major life adjustment after their youngest son, Miles, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The news came to light when attentive followers noticed a glucose monitoring device on the six-year-old’s arm in a family photo from the Paris Olympics.
Teigen shared the emotional journey on Instagram, thanking the diabetes community for their overwhelming support. The diagnosis followed a hospitalization for shigella, where doctors detected abnormalities in Miles’ blood work that pointed to the chronic condition.
The family is now learning to manage Miles’ health needs, including his first insulin shot—a moment that Teigen described as the start of a “different, new world” for them. Despite the challenges, the couple remains optimistic and focused on providing the best care for their son.
