AceShowbiz - Chrissy Teigen, 39, has always kept her fans in the loop about her personal struggles, but her latest admission at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party took many by surprise. In an interview with Access Hollywood, Teigen revealed she has secretly battled an on-and-off smoking habit for years but declared that she has given it up for good this time.
"I'm just furiously chewing Nicotine gum tonight," Teigen shared candidly. "Don't smoke! Smoking's bad, stop now if you can. I've been an on-and-off smoker for too long. I have stopped for the last time, and I'm very proud of myself - but I'm also extremely on edge!"
While Teigen's smoking confession shocked some fans, those who have followed her journey are well-aware of her openness about her struggles with other vices, particularly alcohol.
In 2021, Teigen made the bold decision to quit drinking and has remained committed to sobriety since then. Celebrating one year without alcohol in 2022, she posted on Instagram, "Not a drop of alcohol in 365 days!"
"I miss feeling loopy and carefree sometimes, but to be honest toward the end, it didn't give that fun feeling anymore anyhow. I drank to end crazy anxiety that later mostly went away when I - get this - quit drinking!"
She spoke about the numerous occasions she found herself questioning her actions and decisions while under the influence, finding the clarity that came with sobriety invaluable.
Teigen, who has been married to singer John Legend since 2013, emphasizes the importance of setting a healthy example for their four children: Luna, Miles, Wren, and Esti.
"Waking up in the morning and being like, 'Oh, what did I say?' - that feeling is not worth it," she previously admitted, reflecting on her past drinking habits.
In addition to her personal struggles, Teigen and her family recently faced the terrifying experience of evacuating their Beverly Hills home due to the Los Angeles wildfires. Although their home was spared, Teigen described the ordeal as "surreal" and "scary" on social media.
As she embarks on this new chapter free from smoking and continues her sobriety journey, Chrissy Teigen remains transparent with her audience. Her honesty about overcoming addiction and facing personal challenges resonates strongly with her fans, revealing the depth of her resilience and determination.
