There’s no denying that John Legend‘s wife, Chrissy Teigen, looked amazing in Sports Illustrated‘s latest swimsuit issue, but the mom-to-be revealed that she was actually undergoing fertility treatments at the time of the photo shoot.

“I was doing IVF during the shoot,” she told People at the SI swimsuit fan event in Miami on Wednesday. “I was getting my shots and everything in Zanzibar, I had a little medical kit,” she explained.

The model explained that it was challenging. “It was hard because you bloat from it, and you bruise…if I hit the wrong area. That’s the kind of things we had to cover with makeup,” she said.

So what about posing while pregnant? “John and I aren’t the kind of people to have photos of ourselves in our house, like embracing the pregnant and naked thing. But if it were for a cool magazine and beautifully done, I would do that,” she said.

Teigen and Legend are expecting their first baby, a girl, in April.
