Chrissy Teigen Praises Nick Jonas For His Kindness Toward Son Miles, 6, Following His Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for the intersection of celebrity lives and everyday experiences, I find it heartwarming to witness such a supportive community rallying around Chrissy Teigen and her family during this challenging time. The diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes for her son Miles is undoubtedly a life-changing event, but with the guidance, encouragement, and role models like Nick Jonas, I believe they will navigate this journey with resilience and grace.


Chrissy Teigen’s eldest son, Miles, has been receiving an outpouring of support and encouragement since his mother, a famous author, model, and mom of four, shared the news about Miles’ Type 1 diabetes diagnosis on Instagram. One of these supporters is Nick Jonas, a popular musician known for being part of the Jonas Brothers band. Remarkably, both Miles, aged 6, and Nick Jonas live with the same autoimmune medical condition.

On July 31st, Wednesday, after Chrissy Teigen revealed her son’s diagnosis on Instagram, a user offered encouragement to the young child, mentioning that his two siblings also have Type 1 diabetes, just like Nick Jonas. Addressing Teigen specifically, the supporter suggested that their son should connect with strong individuals who are also living with diabetes, to realize he is not alone and can achieve anything. They added that while it may be frightening at first, it becomes manageable, and they expressed confidence that the family would handle it admirably.

To the dear friend, Teigen shared that their son had previously encountered Nick Jonas, who “showed great kindness towards him.” The author of ‘Cravings’ cookbook also mentioned, “We felt incredibly fortunate to bump into him.”

For those who may not know, Jonas has been open about living with Type 1 diabetes for most of his life. In a video posted in November, he explained that it was his family who spotted the early signs of his diabetes and took action, ultimately saving his life.

In 2021, the artist openly discussed his multi-year journey with the health issue in an interview with People. Initially, he found it challenging to grasp certain aspects, but after many years, he’s gained a firm understanding of it. At the time of the interview, Jonas confessed that he missed having a mentor when he was diagnosed at a young age. Now, he aims to be that guiding figure for young individuals facing the same condition.

People started guessing about Miles’ condition after Teigen posted a photo of herself and her children Luna at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. In the picture, Miles was seen holding up a sign for gymnast Simone Biles while wearing a short-sleeved shirt. The glucose monitor on his upper arm visible in the photo sparked curiosity among online users.

On July 31st (Wednesday), Teigen expressed gratitude towards her supporters for sending encouraging messages following her son’s diagnosis. She is a mother to Wren Alexander, who is 13 months old, and Esti Maxine, who is 18 months old, alongside husband John Legend. In dealing with Miles’ diagnosis, they have found solace in the book titled “Year One with Type One” for guidance.
