Teigen, who shares daughterLuna Simone, 4, and sonMiles Theodore, 2, with husbandJohn Legend, has previously opened up about her relationship with alcohol. In 2017, shetoldCosmopolitanthat she was “just drinking too much” and was on a break from alcohol at the time.
She explained that she had gotten “used to being in hair and makeup and having a glass of wine,” which would turn into “having one before the awards show.”
“And then a bunch at the awards show,” she said. “And then I felt bad for making kind of an ass of myself to people that I really respected. And that feeling, there’s just nothing like that. You feel horrible. It’s not a good look for me, for John, for anybody.”
