“A lot of you noticed something a little special about a photo I posted a few days ago,” she wrote alongside a picture of her, Miles and Luna holding up signs with Simone Biles’ name on them from the games. “Luna, Miles and I celebrating Simone and Team USA. Miles had his arm up, and so many of you reached out to say the most beautiful and incredible words I have ever witnessed on this platform.”
“This post is to thank you so much for your kindness,” she replied in response. “It helps Miles so much to know so many other people are going through the same thing and he is not alone.”
After sharing a picture of the book Year One With Type-1 and describing how she and Legend read it to their son, the Sports Illustrated model broke down in tears on social media.
“John and I read it to Miles last night, and I burst into tears at this page and had to leave the room so he couldn’t see me sobbing,” she penned. “He already has a deep love for the book. In any case, you are not alone! We also pledge to support you guys in the same way that you have supported us thus far.”

Teigen’s well-known acquaintances and supporters responded positively to her remarks.
Nick Jonas, who has had Type 1 diabetes since he was a young adolescent, expressed approval of the article. Teigen said on social media that she and her family met Jonas at the Olympics, and that he treated Miles really well.
“My two brothers have T1, love that book. @nickjonas does too, your son should go meet bad ass people, and see he’s not alone and can still accomplish anything. It’s scary but it becomes second nature and you guys will rock it,” the user wrote.
“Nick treated him so kindly!” she exclaimed to the commenter. “We were so lucky to run into him .”
In addition, Teigen and Legend are the parents of three children: Luna, age eight, Wren, age one; and Esti, age one. The pair made an appearance at the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris last week, along with their two eldest children.
“opening ceremonies! Sure, it was a little (a lot) rainy, but wowowowowow absolutely epic experience (and got to see a few of my favorite people!),” she captioned a post with a few photos.
In addition, Teigen posted the photo of herself, Miles, and Luna that she had posted with her post regarding Miles’ diagnosis on Sunday.
