Chrissy Teigen revealed in a new interview that she "can't imagine a life without more" children, and even hinted that she might have more with husband John Legend.
"They bring so much light and joy to our house," Teigen said. "I can't imagine a life without [my children] - I just cannot."
"And I can't imagine a life without more, honestly - so we'll see," the "Cravings" author added.
Teigen also spoke about the special way she and Legend are honoring their late son Jack, who they lost in September after pregnancy complications.

"We have this new home that we're building and this tree being planted inside the home- which is very relatable, yes, everyone has an indoor tree," Teigen joked.
"The whole reason that I wanted it was so Jack's ashes could be in that soil and he could be with us all the time and grow through the beautiful leaves on this tree and always be a part of us," she continued. "He wasn't just a moment in time. He was real and he was real to us and we loved him."

Teigen, who used in vitro fertilization for her two previous pregnancies, also told People it was "difficult" to admit that she wouldn't ever be pregnant again, due to her uterus "not cooperating" with her.
But the model praised the process of IVF.
"I'm so lucky for that," Teigen said. "I just think of it in terms of how blessed I am already, and also there are so many ways to have a child nowadays... whether it's surrogacy or adoption."

Teigen has previously spoken out about the pregnancy loss and its effect on her
Earlier this year, Teigen called her pregnancy loss "transformative."
"In a way, he really saved me because I don't think I would have discovered therapy and sobriety and this path of really feeling good about myself," Teigen said.
She also credited her Thai background with helping her cope, telling DeGeneres, "Being Thai and being raised in a house that was very open about loss, I think it was very helpful."
"It can be a beautiful thing and it was a very transformative thing," she added.
"We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn't enough," the post continued.

"To our Jack - I'm so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn't give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you," Teigen wrote.
