Chrissy Teigen’s Instagram Oops Turns into a Tongue‑Tie Triumph
Everyone loves a good TikTok challenge, but when it comes to parenting, Mr. & Mrs. Teigen aren’t shy about the online drama. The Lip Sync‑Battle superstar admitted that critics always pop up at the worst moments—except once. Spoiler alert: it actually helped.
“You can’t Believe What I Got From a Screenshot!”
“I was scrolling through Instagram one day, posted a cute pic of Luna… and bam, a couple of people dropped a bomb on my feed: ‘She’s got a tongue‑tie! Get her checked out now!’ I was like, ‘What the heck does that even mean?’ But guess what? I took Luna to the doc, and the wizard said, ‘Yep, we’re fixing it.’ That’s one time social media turned a shot in the dark into a real lifesaver.”
Kids on the ‘Gram & Sweet‑Treat Negotiations
- Luna (3) only poses for a slice of pizza, a handful of candies, or a shiny dollar bill.
- Miles (21 months) stages his own fashion show on every post.
“You know, my little niece thinks the camera is a weapon. She’ll only look at the camera if I give her a Sour Patch Kid or a chocolate chip cookie.” The Teigen family is all about quick hacks to keep the little ones smiling for the next viral selfie.
Mom’s Ups and Downs – The “Luna Struggle” Effect
Chrissy has been open about the “tough times” she faced with Luna. “It’s like, Luna was a rebel at first. Needed to get me to look at the camera for a fourth of a dollar.” But with those rocky moments came a fierce, unbreakable bond.
“Now Luna and I are inseparable. I wouldn’t be the mom I am today with Miles if Luna hadn’t taken me through some early adversity. I can see how close we are now, and it really feels like our best moments are coming.”

“You see it and you’re happy ‘cause you know you picked the right partner. But then you’re like, ‘Why don’t they lean on me?’ It’s a tricky part of motherhood—expecting that bond, and when it’s not there it can be heart‑breaking.” But Chrissy’s not fully giving up.
She’s optimistic that love and laughter—mixed with a healthy dose of bribery—will keep those bonds growing. What’s your #parenting hack to turning critics into lifesavers?
