For his part, “My personality is one where I’m very optimistic and I’m very practical. As soon as I learned that he had this I knew it was going to be life-changing for him and for us, but I’m also like, ‘We can do this.’ We’ve got great advice and lots of people offering support to help us learn.”

They’ve also got each other, which Legend says is their greatest asset in difficult times. “This speaks to us feeling like a team,” he says of Chrissy, “and knowing we can do this together. It just makes us stronger.”

As for how Miles is doing now, “He’s early in his diagnosis, and when you’re early, your insulin is still doing some of the work that it needs to do,” explains Legend. “But as the disease progresses, it’s going to get to a point where we really need to monitor everything, count carbs, give him insulin beforehand. We just have to be more aware.”

Facing the many highs and lows of parenting, like when the pair suffered a painful pregnancy loss back in 2020, has only strengthened Legend and Teigen’s bond. “Parenting makes us feel like we have a joint project together,” he says of raising Miles, along with his sisters Luna, 8, Esti, 19 months and brother Wren, 14 months. “Creating the life we want for them, coordinating with each other, we really feel like a team.”
