While the New Year is cold for most of us—cue the fur jackets and boots—many celebrities escaped to warmer destinations to ring in the holiday. Chrissy Teigen and John Legend were among them, and the cookbook author didn’t miss the chance to show off her bikini-ready look.

Spending their New Year’s break with their four children—Luna, 9, Miles, 7, Esti, 2, and Wren, 2—the model was photographed wearing a black plunging one-piece swimsuit featuring a cinched waist and a gold metal embellishment at the bodice. She completed the look with stacked gold bangles and her hair pulled into a high bun as she relaxed aboard a yacht, framed by crystal-blue ocean waters.

In another close-up shot, the 40-year-old wore a textured bikini top paired with matching high-waisted bottoms and a delicate gold body chain draped across her midsection. She highlighted her sun-kissed complexion and showed off her curated collection of statement ear jewelry.

Fans flooded the comments on her post, praising both her adorable family and her enviable physique.

“Happy couples are everything! Love this!” said one fan. Another wrote, “Gorgeous woman you are!!!” Someone else asked, “How do you keep your skin so beautiful? You glow!”

While Teigen was one of the few celebrities to speak openly about using Ozempic, her story was an emotional one. On the September 18, 2025 episode of her podcast Self-Conscious with Magic Pill author Johann Hari, she revealed that she turned to the weight-loss drug following her 2020 miscarriage.

Chrissy Teigen Opens Up About Ozempic Use

She described being in a “deep depression of seeing this pregnant belly with no baby in it,” adding, “With these new weight-loss drugs, it feels like we've unleashed a genie in a bottle that's granting everyone the exact same wish. And I'm not here to judge. I've done it. Most of my friends are on it.”

The Sports Illustrated star explained that she decided to try the GLP-1 medication after struggling to lose weight following the miscarriage of her son Jack.

“My body was completely stuck,” she said. “I really let myself indulge when I was pregnant. So, when I had lost that baby at 20 weeks, I had probably gained an extra 40 pounds that I wasn't comfortable with.”

Prior to the episode, she reflected on her experience in an Instagram post promoting her podcast, writing, “I was existing in a body that didn’t feel like mine, with absolutely nothing to celebrate—just the constant reminder that this body that once carried life for 20 weeks was now just a… sad reminder.”

Known for her food brand Cravings by Chrissy Teigen, which includes cookbooks, cookware, and food products, Teigen said it was particularly difficult not to be able to enjoy food while on the drug.

She described eating on Ozempic as “like force-feeding sometimes just so I could go about my day and do my job. And that, for me, is almost torturous: not being hungry at all and still having to consume food … I f------ hate that. I love being hungry. I love craving food. I love desiring food. I get so excited to make it, to try it, to taste every part of it … Until I got that right dosage, it took a while before I would even get feelings of hunger.”
