It just wasn't enough.” Teigen and Legend have received numerous messages of support from fans and celebrity friends, with Kim Kardashian West writing on Instagram: “We’re always here for you and love you guys so much,” and Paris Hilton saying: “My heart breaks for you and John.” However, some people have criticised Teigen for being so open about her loss, with some stating their belief that it is "too soon" for her to be sharing her experience on social media. “Some choose to grieve privately and others find it helps to publicly honour their baby’s short life, but there is no wrong way to react to such a uniquely personal tragedy.” Petals, a charity that offers counselling services for parents who have suffered baby loss, tweeted that it was “heartbreaking” to read of Teigen and Legend’s loss. “We are all so saddened by the devastating news that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s son Jack has died,” the charity stated, adding the hashtag: “#YouAreNotAlone”.
