What happened to Chrissy Teigen? TV personality shares medical emergency while preparing for holidays

TV personality and model Chrissy Teigen recently experienced a dental issue. This happened while preparing for Christmas with her children. She was teaching them how to make candy canes. However, when she took a bite of one of those, she broke her tooth.

In a video posted on her Instagram on December 21, her children were seen preparing candy canes on the first day. They poured a pounded mixture into a bucket. Teigen was seen teaching her son how to make a hole in the mixture. She then asked them to water the mixture and cover the bucket with a paper bag. Teigen secretly planted the candy canes in the tubs.

On the second day, when the kids removed the paper bags, they were surprised to see the candy canes. They poured more water into the tubs. A snippet from the third day showed Teigen saying that her tooth fell off while biting a larger candy cane. She added that she had lost a veneer. Chrissy Teigen said:

“It’s a veneer. I have the whole piece. This is what Moms do for their kids so you can think you grew a candy cane.”

Tiegen explained:

“Was trying to create magic. Now, I have no tooth. And tomorrow’s the winter sing so…oh my God.”

Chrissy Teigen included a video of herself in a car on her way to the winter sing at school. According to The US Sun, she also posted an Instagram story in which she showed herself getting her tooth fixed at the dentist. The photo was captioned:

“We are back in business. Shout out to the tooth goat.”

Chrissy Teigen talks about her podcast and her kids

In March 2025, Chrissy Teigen appeared on TODAY to discuss her Self Conscious podcast. Discussing the idea of starting a podcast, she said it had been there for a long time, and she was trying to find her passion. She added:

“My life is now feeling very comfortable as a mom and a wife and as a boss. It felt like the right time just confidence wise for me and plus it's a dream job. I literally talk to geniuses for the day. I learn so much. I get to cancel my own real therapy because like for me it has become my actual therapy during the week.”

Chrissy Teigen said she had always been an insecure person. She was so self-aware that it became debilitating. Through the podcast, she hoped people would learn how to be more self-aware and self-conscious, even despite knowing one’s insecurities and struggles. Speaking about her kids’ daily activities, she said:

“The activities alone are really killing us.”

The host mentioned that Teigen took her eldest daughter, Luna, on a trip, about which Teigen said:

“So, she's a girl scout. This was actually the third grade camping trip at school that we do. It's such a fun. It's so much fun honestly like the parents are so lovely. We have a great time.”

Chrissy Teigen said she loved staying in a tent, as she could fall asleep anywhere. At the trip site, there were cabins so the kids could enjoy.
