Chrissy Teigen is letting fans know that she's doing "okay," in the wake of the couple's pregnancy loss.

"We are quiet but we are okay," Teigen, 34, wrote in a brief note on Instagram. "Love you all so much."

In the post, Teigen shared a screengrab of some recent tweets from husband John Legend.

"This is for Chrissy," the singer-songwriter, 41, wrote on Twitter Thursday, sharing a YouTube link to his performance of "Never Break" on Wednesday's Billboard Music Awards.

"I love and cherish you and our family so much," Legend continued in the tweet. "We’ve experienced the highest highs and lowest lows together. Watching you carry our children has been so moving and humbling."

"I’m in awe of the strength you’ve shown through the most challenging moments," he continued. "What an awesome gift it is to be able to bring life into the world. We’ve experienced the miracle, the power and joy of this gift, and now we’ve deeply felt its inherent fragility."

Legend — who shares daughter Luna Simone, 4, and son Miles Theodore, 2, with Teigen — went on to explain the meaning behind the touching ballad he sang Wednesday.

"I wrote this song because I have faith that as long as we walk this earth, we will hold each other’s hands through every tear, through every up and down, through every test," Legend wrote. "We promised each other this on our wedding day seven years ago, and every challenge we’ve faced has made that promise more powerful, more resilient."

"Our love will remain," he said. "We will never break."

Teigen announced on September 30 that she lost her baby, who she and Legend had named Jack.

We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before. We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough. . . We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital. But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack. So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever. . . To our Jack - I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you. . . Thank you to everyone who has been sending us positive energy, thoughts and prayers. We feel all of your love and truly appreciate you. . . We are so grateful for the life we have, for our wonderful babies Luna and Miles, for all the amazing things we’ve been able to experience. But everyday can’t be full of sunshine. On this darkest of days, we will grieve, we will cry our eyes out. But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it.

Sharing emotional black-and-white photos from the hospital, the cookbook author said that the family was "shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about." Earlier that month, she had been put on bed rest and then hospitalized due to bleeding from her placenta.

In his Twitter thread Thursday, Legend concluded with a message of solidarity for families who have also experienced the pain of pregnancy loss, saying that "it’s comforting to know we’re not alone."

"I’m sure Chrissy will have much more to say about this when she’s ready," he added. "But just know we’re grateful and we’re sending love to all of you and your families."
