19 Reasons Why Chrissy Teigen is the Most Relatable Celebrity Mom

There’s nobody quite like Chrissy Teigen — and that’s a compliment. She’s hilarious, sarcastic, smart and savvy, she cooks like a beast, mothers like a bear and wifes like a supermodel because, that’s right, she’s also stunning as hell. Basically, she’s perfect. Or should we say, perfectly imperfect. You know, like all of us.
Teigen, who balances her cookbook writing, Lip Sync Battle hosting, Real Housewives loving and family life with her gig as a Creative Consultant for Pampers, has never been afraid to show her flaws in the most self-deprecating way possible, which makes us love her all the more. Here’s why we can’t get enough of her.

She announced her pregnancies in the most adorable ways possible

With Luna, it was a fun and happy photo of her and John, with a little joke in the caption. With Miles, she kept it low-key and let her daughter and two-word caption do the work for her.

Like many of us, she’s got stretch marks too

Unlike most of us who would rather die than post a pic of our flaws on social media, Chrissy embraces them. She doesn't Photoshop, has always been pretty open about her body, and puts it all out there, stretch marks and all, which makes her so refreshing.

She used her pregnancies to her advantage

When it comes to changing diapers in the Legend/Teigen household, Chrissy revealed to Slice when she was six months along, "I'd say John does 75 per cent of it. I'm really milking this pregnancy thing." You do what you gotta do, moms-to-be! Oh, married life.

She refused to let John break up with her

Back when there were dating, John was stressed out and swamped with work and told her he thought he'd be better off single. Her response? "No." Classic Chrissy. What's better is they were back together half an hour later. If they had split, the world would be a lesser place without these two together. Oh, and also, see the previous slide.

Installing car seats are a real pain

The struggles of installing a car seat for the first time are real. Don't let anyone tell you different. Because just when you think you have it, you don't.

Her post-breastfeeding body isn’t the same

Chrissy joked that she should've nursed out of both boobs to save herself from uneven boobies but, once again, she's showing other women that they're not alone and no one should be ashamed of having different-sized breasts.

She suffered from postpartum depression

Chrissy might've looked like she had it all together after having baby Luna, going out shortly after her daughter was born and regularly posting on social media, but it's amazing how much she could put out there when what was behind closed doors was so vastly opposite. While Chrissy's never been one to NOT talk about things and share stuff about her private life, Teigen opened up to Glamour in a whole new way, both inspiring other women with PPD and maybe unburdening herself as her mind and body recovered.

She worried she would experience PPD with her second

She's always been open and honest, so why would she change things? During her most recent pregnancy, with son Miles, Chrissy spoke at a conference, detailing her experience with PPD and that she fears it'll happen again with her second child. She has yet to reveal if she has or is; either way, her openness to talk about it helps remove that stigma little by little and hopefully opens the eyes of moms out there who are feeling the same way but not knowing that what they're going through.

She doesn’t get babies’ sleep patterns

Say farewell to solid sleep but such is life, especially with two kids under the age of 2. Teigen's just thankful she and John have a ton of support.

"I like the chaos of a crazy household," she told Slice. "I've always loved a lot going on, we've always had this open door policy in our house. There's always somebody in there, there's always somebody staying with us. I don't mind that chaos and I think it's going to be funny and as long as John and I can just look at each other and go, "What have we gotten ourselves into?" I think that partnership is really important. I mean, I don't know if I'm ready but I'm going to have to be."

Nothing grosses her out

"I grew up with so many dogs, it takes a lot to gross me out," Teigen told Slice. "I'm not grossed out by throw-up or poop." Even Luna's blueberry poops, though the Pampers creative consultant admits they tend to happen once she's in the car seat or buckled into a flight. Of course. Kids' timing is impeccable.

In fact, boy pee is adorable

Before having son Miles, Chrissy had never changed a boy's diaper. But she wasn't about to be fazed. If her son pees all over the place — including her — she can't wait. "Oh my God, I'm not going to care at all," laughed Teigen. "I think it's going to be so cute."

Babies take forever to eat

It's a tedious job but some awesome woman has to do it.

She mocks her husband every chance she gets

Whether she's secretly filming him dancing or making fun of his "love" of sports, she is every wife.

She throws birthday parties inspired by TV shows

From Sesame Street, Backyardigans and Dora the Explorer to Paw Patrol, SpongeBob to Sofia the First, we've all thrown these epic birthday bashes. It's like an annual rite of passage.

She can’t help but spoil her kids

From kid-size pink harps to giant stuffed animals, like many moms and dads, Chrissy and John don't always think things through ... that is, until the noise and sheer enormity of their toys take over the whole house and you wonder, "What have we done?".

She’s used to having no alone time

Just when you think you can have a few seconds to yourself to pee, that's when a kid comes strolling in like you don't have important business to tend to.

She doesn’t want her kids to grow up so fast

"I'm kind of just loving this time right now with keeping her little," said Teigen. "I really, really love seeing a little baby butt in diapers. There's nothing cuter than a Pampers diaper walk."

She’s setting the potty training bar high

After revealing that she's heard that some children who've been able to make the switch in a couple days, Teigen admits she knows "all the tricks" and she has no interest in using a little plastic potty.

"I want to try to go straight to toilet seat, or even the little plastic thing that goes on the toilet seat," insisted Teigen. "But I don't want to do that whole peeing in a bucket, then dumping it thing." Oh, is Chrissy in for a rude awakening. Good luck!

She’s fine with a little grey hair

If you want to cover up your roots, all the power to you. But if you're so inclined feel free to rock the streaks or sprinkles or full heads of grey. Because women, you've earned them.
