Chrissy Teigen, a renowned model, author, and television personality celebrated for her candidness and wit, recently unveiled a poignant chapter of her family's journey. Her cherished 5-year-old son, Miles, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, a revelation that reduced the brave mother to tears as she witnessed her little one grappling with this formidable challenge. Fearing that diabetes might curtail his passion for sports, Miles's spirits were rekindled when he encountered Nick Jonas at the Paris Olympics. Witnessing other athletes battling the same condition filled him with assurance that his dreams were still within reach.
Sharing her heartfelt thoughts with PEOPLE, Chrissy, wife of John Legend, expressed, "Who better to serendipitously cross our path than Nick Jonas, who generously showed us the equipment and more? He was incredibly kind to Miles. The encounter was nothing short of breathtaking." She continued, "I understand the profound impact it has on Miles to see himself reflected in others. We've received videos of soccer players living with Type 1, sent by well-wishers, and the joy that sparks in Miles's eyes is palpable. I told him, 'Miles, you're now that inspiration for others! Isn't that incredible?' He truly is a tiny warrior."
Following Miles's diagnosis, Chrissy and John, who tied the knot in 2013, found themselves frequently navigating the hospital corridors, meticulously taking notes and documenting everything to master the intricacies of insulin management.
