Chrissy Teigen opens up about her struggle with postpartum depression

Chrissy continued to live up to her name as most candid celebrity during a recent interview.

The mother-of-two has been proving that despite the fame and fortune she's just like the rest of us.

In fact, Chrissy Teigen recently opened up about her emotional experience with first time motherhood - candidly revealing she struggled with postpartum depression, which led to issues with drinking.

Speaking with Woman's Health during a recent interview, the 32-year-old model revealed her struggles.

Chrissy shared that after the arrival of her first child, daughter Luna, she had began to experience some of the more vulnerable sides of motherhood.

She explains: 'After Luna, I was drinking too much, I wasn't eating as much because I was full from drinking. I wasn't being good to my body. I remember being so bruised from nothing.'

Chrissy added that she then began a course of antidepressants and took some time out at a wellness retreat in Bali with husband John Legend - which is where the model shifted her perspective about taking care of herself.

She shared: 'It's like, what could be more important than mental health? What's more important than being proud of yourself and doing the best you can for your body?'

Chrissy, who welcomed her second child, son Miles, back in May of this year then discussed her experience with a changing body following her venture into motherhood.

Chrissy shared: 'I look at my boobs and I’m like, ‘What the heck happened?’ They face outwards now,'

In true Chrissy style, the mother-of-two didn't stop there - adding: 'They’re like giant disks. I don’t even know how to hide them.'

Chrissy and her husband John are often subject to much praise as they continue to remain transparent with their parenting. Recently, fans were delighted to see a snap of Chrissy pumping breast milk on John's social media. 

Will Chrissy Teigen ever not be the most relatable celebrity?!
