Chrissy Teigen, 40, is mourning the sudden death of her 86-year-old father, Ron Teigen Sr. The model and cookbook author shared the heartbreaking news on Wednesday in an emotional Instagram tribute, revealing that her father died unexpectedly. Teigen described how an ordinary day was destroyed by the devastating news. “Yesterday I woke up with a daddy and went to bed without one,” she wrote. Ron Teigen Sr. previously made headlines in 2018 when he got a tattoo of his daughter’s face on his left bicep for her birthday. Teigen reflected on their close relationship and revealed that just months ago she had written him a letter expressing her gratitude for his years of hard work and unwavering love. She also remembered her father’s quirky personality, joking that he disliked almost everything except bass guitars, swing dancing, wood carving, animals, YouTube, and his family. Her husband, Grammy-winner John Legend, also paid tribute, writing that he was grateful Ron had spent so much time with the couple’s four children. No cause of death has been revealed.
