In the latest installment of “What’s Life Going to Throw at Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Next?” the couple’s six-year-old son, Miles, has decided to join the ranks of the elite and exclusive Type 1 Diabetes Club. Yes, it’s official: Miles is rocking a diabetes monitor like it’s the latest fashion accessory, and honestly, he’s pulling it off with style.
The big reveal happened when eagle-eyed fans (who clearly missed their calling as detectives) spotted the device on Miles’s arm in a cute Instagram photo Chrissy posted. The post featured Chrissy, her daughter Luna, and Miles enthusiastically cheering for Simone Biles at the Olympics. But let’s be real, who could focus on Olympic flips when there’s a new medical device in town?
Today, Chrissy, ever the queen of keeping it real, addressed the situation. She practically winked at the camera and said, “Yep, you guys noticed! Miles is now the proud owner of a Type 1 diabetes monitor. And let me just say, your sweet, supportive messages? Absolute tearjerkers. Like, I’m talking a full-on sob-fest over here. You all are amazing, and I’m just so grateful.”
Apparently, the journey to this diagnosis started with what Chrissy described as “a terrible case of shigella,” which is a fancy way of saying, “Miles got super sick because camp germs are savage.” It wasn’t just Miles, either—his friends were also down for the count. But because doctors are basically superheroes, they noticed something wasn’t quite right with Miles’s blood tests and decided to dig a little deeper. Spoiler alert: that’s how they discovered his Type 1 diabetes.
Now, in a plot twist straight out of a medical drama, Chrissy explained that Miles is in the “honeymoon period” of his diagnosis. And no, it’s not the fun kind of honeymoon with tropical beaches and piña coladas—this one involves insulin shots and a crash course in blood sugar management. Chrissy even shared that she and John had to give Miles his first insulin shot last night, making them official members of the “Parenting Just Got Even More Intense” club.
But Chrissy wasn’t just sharing the news—she was also dropping a massive thank you to her fans. According to her, all the love and support flooding in from the internet has made a world of difference for Miles. Apparently, there’s nothing quite like knowing there are other people out there who get it and are cheering you on.
And because every good story needs a celebrity cameo, Chrissy’s followers were quick to suggest she reach out to Nick Jonas, who’s been dealing with Type 1 diabetes since he was a kid. Maybe there’s a future duet in the works—“A Spoonful of Insulin,” anyone?
Chrissy and John are diving headfirst into this new chapter, armed with love, insulin, and a community that’s got their backs. Stay tuned for more updates, because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Chrissy is going to navigate this with the same humor and honesty that makes us all love her in the first place.
