Chrissy Teigen, 35, lost her baby boy in September, and on Saturday she took to social media to mark Jack's due date, posting an image of herself wearing a bracelet with his name on it.
The model captioned the photo on her Instagram Story: "Today was your due date. Welove you forever [heart emoji] (sic)"
Teigen also posted a picture of herself while deep in thought on her Instagram. The model - who has Luna, 4, and Miles, 4, with husband John Legend - wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "Can smile all day but thinking of you on your due date, bug (sic)" Chrissy previously admitted she was still "coming to terms" with the loss of her baby son. She explained: "Even thinking back to it now, I am still in therapy about it and I'm still coming to terms with it.
"I have maternity clothes, and there are things that I bought for my eighth month and my ninth month. So it's just hard because he would've been born this week, so you look at those things and you have these constant reminders."
Teigen believes she's fortunate to have been raised in a household that was "very open about loss".
She said: "It was a really transformative thing for me and in a way it really saved me, because I don't think that I would've discovered therapy and then sobriety and this path of feeling good about myself and feeling like a new person."
Chrissy also thinks the heartache has made her a "better person".
She reflected: "You really gain this incredible amount of empathy. And I really, somehow, think I'm a better person now. And I just have the best support system ever."
Teigen posted a photo in December, taken roughly two months after the loss of Jack, but clearly still sporting a baby bump. She said she didn't know why the bump hadn't gone done and said it was "frustrating." She also stated that she never plans to be pregnant again, clearly deciding not to try again for a third child after her loss.
