Pregnant Chrissy Teigen narrowly escapes accident

NEW YORK: Model Chrissy Teigen, who is due to give birth to her second child in June, had a close call with a cyclist while walking in New York.

Teigen was stepping off a sidewalk with what initially appeared to be an overeager fan trying to reach out towards her on Tuesday night, reports People.

The photograph of the scene had a number of fans - both concerned and bemused. One fan tweeted the photo at the model and jokingly wrote, "Hey Chrissy Teigen. This looks like you have strapped a very small man to your b**b."

Teigen, who is due to welcome a son with husband John Legend in June, also quipped, "I had the baby."

However, when another fan suggested the man was up to no good and called him a 'creeper', Teigen said, "Nah he actually saved me from getting run over by a cyclist. I should have looked before stepping out!"

Nah he actually saved me from getting run over by a cyclist. I should have looked before stepping out!

Legend previously told People that he and Teigen were “excited” to welcome their second child but joked that their daughter Luna, who turns 2 in April, might “have some moments where she regrets” having a little brother.

“I don’t think Luna has a concept of exactly what it means to have a little sibling yet,” Legend said. “She’ll figure it out sooner or later, and she’ll probably have some moments where she regrets it! But we’re excited.”

Legend also revealed that while his son’s birth is creeping closer and closer, he and Teigen are still nesting.

“We still have a little bit of work to do — we’ve got to get the new bedroom ready — but we have a few months to go,” he said. “I think after having one, there’s a lot of things you learn the first time that will be helpful this second time around. But I’m sure it’ll add a whole other layer of complexity with two at a time!”
