Chrissy Teigen makes shock admission: ‘My son has never eaten a vegetable’

Chrissy Teigen got candid about her kids' eating habits recently, admitting her five-year-old son Miles has “never” eaten a vegetable.

“Miles has still not had a vegetable,” the model and Cravings cookbook writer said during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week. “He is six, almost.”

She then quickly corrected herself, saying, “He accidentally ate a broccoli floret in a fried rice and was so upset about it.”

The former Sports Illustrated cover model, who is married to singer John Legend, then shared that she’d had to speak to his school about it.

She's hoping he'll grow out of it and reckons it's his way of exerting some control over his own life. 

"Eating's the only thing they [kids] really have control over at this age so he uses it.”

Thankfully her eldest child, daughter Luna (7), has no such issues.

“She is the best eater, she’s amazing. She eats salads, vegetables . . .”

Chrissy and John are also parents to one-year-old daughter Esti and seven-month-old son Wren, who they welcomed via surrogate in June last year.

In 2022 the Lip Sync Battle co-host lost her son Jack at 20 weeks after having to have an emergency abortion.

Last month she shared that she saw Jack while undergoing a ketamine therapy session on her 38th birthday.

In a post she wrote, “I had a beautiful lunch with friends, then did ketamine therapy and saw space and time and baby Jack and some weird penguins and cried and cried and cried. Then laid with my babies, then hot pot, then hung with my best friend.”

Ketamine therapy is used by some alternative doctors today to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, chronic pain and drug and alcohol problems.

Due to the psychedelic nature of the anaesthetic drug, patients often experience hallucinogenic effects, otherwise known as a “trip”.
