Chrissy Teigen<\/a> is hoping that her honesty about using weight-loss drugs will inspire people to feel more confident in themselves, including the kids she shares with John Legend<\/a>.<\/p>\n While speaking to People<\/a> on Saturday (Oct. 11), the model opened up about why she chose to reveal this year that she used Ozempic to help her on her weight-loss journey post-miscarriage. Teigen has previously shared how traumatic it was to experience pregnancy loss<\/a> in 2020, and this past September, she shared on the Self-Conscious podcast that she\u2019d tried GLP-1 medication after struggling to feel at home in her body after the tragedy.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSince the beginning of social media, I\u2019ve always wanted people to know that things weren\u2019t as fluffy and beautiful as they may seem,\u201d she told the publication of why she chose to share the information on the podcast. \u201cI knew it would really resonate and make a lot of people feel a lot better about their families, themselves, their own bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n Teigen shares 9-year-old Luna, 7-year-old Miles, 2-year-old Esti and 1-year-old Wren with Legend. Five years ago, she and the EGOT winner had been preparing to welcome a son they\u2019d named Jack into their family, but that October, the couple shared the news that Teigen had suffered a miscarriage.<\/p>\n On Self-Conscious, the cookbook author divulged that she later started taking Ozempic \u2014 an insulin-boosting medication that many people have started using for its weight-loss properties \u2014 because she\u2019d fallen into a \u201cdeep depression of seeing this pregnant belly with no baby in it.\u201d<\/p>\n While speaking to People, Teigen emphasized that she hopes her honesty will make her kids feel safer when it comes to their own health choices in the future. \u201cI would want my daughter \u2014 or son, if Miles wants to venture into hair plug territory or something \u2014 I would want them to know that it\u2019s not about pretending to be perfect, it\u2019s about being open and honest about what it feels to make you feel better,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Teigen is just the latest A-lister to be transparent with fans about using Ozempic. Both Lizzo<\/a> and Fat Joe<\/a> have been open about their experiences with the drug while on their own health journeys, while Kelly Clarkson has said that she used a similar weight-loss medication while trying to shed some pounds.<\/p>\n But as Teigen pointed out, losing weight will never fix self-confidence issues. \u201cIt\u2019s not about striving for perfection, because it doesn\u2019t make anybody else feel emotionally happy at the end of the day,\u201d she added. \u201cIt\u2019ll never truly fulfill you. But people are going to make their own decisions about their bodies and what will make them feel healthy and safe and proud of themselves, and everybody has a right to do those things.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Billboard VIP Pass<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
