According to People, Chrissy Teigen is the queen of relatable. The 32-year-old model is known for her refreshing honesty about her day-to-day life outside the limelight. Now, she and John Legend are welcoming another little bundle of joy into the world— Miles Theodore Stephens. And she’s giving a shout out to another popular Asian American star: Ali Wong.
Society often pressures women to lose all their pregnancy weight and get back to being like they were before motherhood, as if it’s shameful to have brought life into the world while looking less than camera ready. But Teigen isn’t shying away from the reality of second pregnancies, as posted in this candid Instagram photo.
In a nod to comedian Ali Wong and her stand-up comedy Netflix special, Teigan posed with an Asian pear to make a joke referring to the disposable underwear made especially for postpartum mothers’ bleeding. Wong joked it’s “Asian pear underwear” because it resembles the foam cover that wraps the fruit.
