In October 2018, Teigen’s husband, American Pie star, John Legend, announced that he was one year sober in a celebratory and encouraging Instagram post. "I first tried to get sober over 5 years ago, when the weight of my obsession with booze and drugs became too heavy for me to handle," he wrote at the time, as reported by E! Online. "Turns out this s–t is hard." He continued, "After some fits and starts, I’ve managed to put together one year of sobriety. I’m as proud of it as anything in my life. If you’re struggling, know there’s help. Don’t be ashamed. We can do this."
However, in a March 2024 episode of his wife Jenny Mollen’s All the Fails podcast, Teigen revealed that his struggles with addiction were far from over. According to E! Online, he admitted to leaving therapy sessions and heading to the liquor store to buy vodka, which he would then drink and drive home. "I knew how to get wasted enough to where I took myself out of the life equation, took myself out of the present, didn’t have to connect in a way that made me feel things," he said.
Teigen’s candid revelation has sparked a wider conversation about addiction and the challenges of maintaining sobriety. As reported by E! Online, he revealed that he had become adept at hiding his addiction, even from those close to him. "I had it figured out to a T. To not get too drunk where I couldn’t have a conversation with you.
