Teigen, 34, revealed the devastating news of her pregnancy loss on Instagram Wednesday night, writing that she and Legend, 41, were "shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before."

The Cravings cookbook author had previously been placed on bed rest and then hospitalized due to excessive bleeding from her placenta. While she underwent several blood transfusions, she said in her post that "it just wasn’t enough."

"Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever," Teigen — who shares daughter Luna Simone, 4, and son Miles Theodore, 2, with Legend — said. "To our Jack - I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you."

The couple announced they were expecting their third child in August as part of Legend's "Wild" music video.

Legend previously opened up to PEOPLE that his priority as a husband is being a "rock" for Teigen. "Being a good husband is about communicating and listening to what your partner needs and wants,″ he said in November 2019. "A lot of it is being trustworthy, being dependable, being someone they can rely on. They want security and to know someone has their back. Hopefully, I do that for Chrissy."
