Chrissy Teigen claps back at troll who accused her of having kids ‘to stay relevant’
The queen of clapbacks has done it again.
Chrissy Teigen hilariously trolled a hater who accused her and her husband, John Legend, of “always trying to stay relevant by talking and keep on having kids.”
Responding to the Instagram comment on Monday, she quipped, “yes very bored and need attention and there is no other way in the world to get it than having kids.”

The model’s clapback came after she and Legend celebrated their eldest daughter’s 8th birthday. Instagram
The rude comment came after Teigen, 38, and Legend, 45, celebrated their daughter Luna’s 8th birthday. To honor their eldest child, the EGOT winner shared a sentimental tribute on Instagram Sunday that showed several recent snaps of her.
“Luna made us parents 8 years ago today and she’s truly the best daughter we could ask for,” he gushed in the caption. “We love you to the moon and back, my brilliant girl!”
Showing her signature humor, the model commented under her husband’s post to let him know she read his sweet comments to their other — and apparently least favorite — daughter Esti.

In addition to Luna and 1-year-old Esti, the couple shares sons Miles, 5, and Wren, 10 months, whom they secretly welcomed last year via surrogate.
They previously lost a son named Jack at about five months into their pregnancy in October 2020.
Last week, while they were attending City Harvest’s 2024 Gala: Magic of Motown, Teigen admitted she felt the urge to have another child when Wren began walking, but Legend protested.

“She’s actually incredibly dynamic, accomplished and kind, and everyone who knows her would say the same,” she said.
Teigen doesn’t just use her wit to defend her family online. On Tuesday, she fired back against an internet troll making fun of Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sánchez.
Restaurateur Keith McNally described Sanchez as “revolting” while sharing several photos of her and the Amazon founder on his Instagram page, and the mother of four did not hesitate to stick up for her.
“She’s actually incredibly dynamic, accomplished and kind, and everyone who knows her would say the same,” she noted.
