Since the birth of her daughter Luna in May, model Chrissy Teigen’s been winning a whole new fan base of fellow mums. She’s funny, frank, taboo-busting and just enjoying being a mum. So she’s a supermodel with a multi-Grammy winning husband like John Legend, but it turns out her hilarious snapshots and comments of bringing up baby show she’s just like us too.
Here’s why.

The stretchmark sisterhood
Snapchat
The time she shared a picture of her inside leg stretch marks on Snapchat with this comment. Mini fist pump from all new mums dismayed by their bodies while loving their babies. Can you imagine Victoria Beckham or Kim Kardashian having the positive body image and sense of fun to do that?

Not putting up with judgy parents (and we all know some of those)
Twitter
The time Chrissy fired back at a sanctimonious Twitter user who wrote "That's not how a baby is held!!!" in response to a pap pic of Chrissy holding baby Luna. As she quite rightly pointed out, she was indeed holding her own baby just like that.
She admitted she hadn't realised 'mum shaming' would be so vitriolic until she was criticised for going out for to dinner for an hour a week after Luna was born. Her succinct reply: "I went to dinner. People are p****d. Good morning!"
Supportive husband John tweeted: "Funny there's no dad-shaming. When both of us go out to dinner, shame both of us so Chrissy doesn't have to take it all. We'll split it."
