“After Luna, I was drinking too much,” the 32-year-old told the October issue of Women’s Health magazine. “I wasn’t eating as much because I was full from drinking. I wasn’t being good to my body.” 

Teigen and her husband, John Legend, welcomed their second child, son Miles, on May 16, and the star noted she is in a better place this time around. The Cravings: Hungry for More author credits an antidepressant and a life-changing wellness retreat to Bali. “It’s like, what could be more important mental health?” she mused. “What’s more important than being proud of yourself and doing the best you can for your body?”

Since the Lip Sync Battle cohost is an open book, she didn’t hold back about anything — including her post-kids sex life with the Grammy winner. (The pair will celebrate their five-year wedding anniversary on September 14!) 

“It doesn’t matter who you are — even if you’re a sexy R&B crooner or ex-swimsuit model, you’re just tired!” Teigen admitted. “We still have that passion for each other, but are we doing it randomly in a dressing? No! But it is funny: If he performs somewhere, and I go, I’m like, ‘Oh, he’s sexy.’ We’ll probably have sex that night.”
