Chrissy Teigen injured her neck “trying to be an acrobat” at home.
The model hurt herself before the Met Gala last week. She revealed she had been wearing a brace after an accident at home, and now her husband John Legend has given more details on the painful incident.
“She hurt her neck trying to be, like, an acrobat — which she’s not. Sometimes she’s daring, and she’ll try things,” he told “Entertainment Tonight.”
The singer — who revealed his wife is “much better now” — admitted Teigen may have been inspired by their daughter Luna.
“I think [Teigen] may have been watching Luna too much,” Legend said.
“[Luna has] been doing like real gymnastics. But [Chrissy] got in her head that she could try this and it was not a good idea,” he added.
Taking to Instagram with her neck brace at the time, Teigen admitted she “tried to do a headstand” which went wrong.
It wasn’t the best day for the Cravings author, who had been hoping to go to see the doctor before her accident. However, she wasn’t able to attend due to something she ate.
“I couldn’t take my blood test because I had eaten bacon-wrapped dates. My doctor has had it with me,” she explained on her Instagram Story.
Legend and Teigen also have kids Miles, Esti and Wren together.
Their two eldest kids recently joined their dad on the set of “The Voice” to see a live episode in person, and they “loved” seeing how things worked.
“Oh they loved it! They really had a blast. They wanted to come today but Luna was sick and didn’t go to school,” Legend told ET.
“And I’m, like, ‘You’re not coming to ‘The Voice’ if you didn’t go to school.’ But yeah, we’ll probably bring her back next Monday.” he added in the interview before this week’s live episode of the talent show,
While Teigen couldn’t match their daughter’s gymnastic skills, Legend thinks Luna could hold her own on the red carpet.
“You know, she’s pretty with it. She could probably handle some interviews,” he quipped.
