Chrissy Teigen has opened up about her struggle to start a family, revealing she has seen fertility doctors.

The model, 29, said on her new ABC show FABLife that she and singer husband John Legend, 36, have been trying to conceive for years.

'I will say honestly John and I were having trouble. We would have had kids five, six years ago if it happened,' said Chrissy.

'But my gosh it's been a process,' she said.

'We've seen fertility doctors and once you open up about those things to other people you learn that a lot of other people in your life are seeing these people and they have this shame about it.'

And she said it was painful when people questioned her about when she and John are going to start a family.

'It's kind of crazy because I can't imagine being that nosy to be like, 'So, when are the kids coming?' because who knows what somebody's going through,' she said.

'So anytime somebody asks if I'm going to have kids I'm just like, 'One day you're going to ask that to the wrong girl who is really struggling and it's going to be really hurtful to them and I hate that. Stop asking me.'

'Stop asking': Chrissy said people should show more tact before asking people if they are going to start a family

And Chrissy's brave admission prompted a confession from her cohost Tyra Banks, who broke down in tears as she hit out at social media bullies who constantly demand to to know why she has not had any children

The 41-year-old, who has had failed IVF treatments, made the emotional proclamation as she discussed her desire to become a mother.

Tyra said: 'I'm so tired of seeing on my social media, "why don't you have kids, why don't you have kids?"

'You don't know, you don't know what I'm going through. You have no idea.'

She then explained how she had been certain she would have a large family for her whole life, and was shocked when it did not turn out that way.

The former model said: 'For a long time, it was so funny, I was 23-years-old, I used to tell myself "in three years I'm going to have kids."

'Then I turned 24, "in three years I'm going to have kids." Every single year I just kept saying that.

'And then after a while it's like, now I want to, it's not so easy.'

After saying that she started to cry, and tried to stop the tears by fanning her eyes.

Not-so-FABLife: Chrissy and Tyra shared their fertility struggle with their fellow panelists

Tyra had earlier revealed she and beau Erik Asla, 50, were having problems getting pregnant to People on Wednesday.

The Tyra Presents The FABLife host said she suffered 'traumatic moments' due to failed IVF treatments.

'It's really difficult,' the America's Next Top Model host allowed.

'I've had some not-so-happy, traumatic moments.'

Banks said that when she turned 40, she felt like she wanted to have children with her Norwegian photographer boyfriend, who she has been with for two years.

'The one thing that I was not happy about in my life was that I did not have kids,' she said.

'Since I was 24, I used to say every year, "I will have kids in three years."'

But work got in the way.

'My business is very entrepreneurial and I kept trying to find time for it to happen,' the Vogue star added.

'Then when you're like, "I'm just going to do it," it's not so easy.'

But she still holds out hope for a flock of kids.

'I don't just want one child,' said the TV icon. 'I'd love a litter. Maybe they'll be running the family business. I do want a legacy.'

Also in her interview, Tyra touched on aging.

'So many women are scared to get old,' the LA native said. 'But I look forward to getting old with my man. Age isn't a bad thing. It's not the number on the paper, it's the face in the mirror.'

The beauty also admitted she is now 168 pounds and happy.

'It's a weird dance,' she said of keeping her weight just right. 'When I was at my healthiest, about five years ago, I was thin, but I felt conflicted, like it wasn't the best example to show women.

'I'm the girl who said, "Kiss my fat ass." I'm the thicker runway model. Sometimes I feel like my body doesn't belong to me.'
