As it turns out, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend like jammin’ too, especially when it involves Meghan Markle. Teigen revealed that she was a recipient of the Duchess of Sussex’s very special strawberry jam from her upcoming American Riviera Orchard lifestyle line, as did Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner.
Last week, Meghan’s pals Tracy Robbins and Delfina Blaquier were the first to reveal how Meghan is spreading love (and fruit) when they shared some artful detail shots of the jam, evidently a limited edition of just 50 hand-numbered jars, on their Instagram Stories. Teigen’s video, posted to her grid proper Wednesday, would like to invite those disappearing stories to take several seats: This is how you show off a condiment. Teigen and husband Legend assemble and then eat a full sandwich featuring the jam in the video, set to Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Jammin’.”

“This might have been one of the best bites we’ve had all year - all we used is some rustic bread, salted butter, triple cream brie, thick cut bacon and some @americanrivieraorchard jam!” Teigen wrote in the caption. “Took about 8 mins total and made us happy for the entire weekend.”
In the comments, Legend confirmed: “That was a perfect bite,” the Grammy winner wrote.
Teigen appears to have jar number 20, while Jenner’s more understated Story post Wednesday featuring the jam nestled amongst a basket of lemons and a hand-addressed note in Meghan’s signature calligraphy, revealed that her jar is number 13. “Thank you,” she wrote alongside the photo, tagging the brand.
Jamwatch 2024 is officially on, with dozens of jars unaccounted for as of yet. Meghan connections like former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer shared their fruity loot, as did Alliance of Moms co-founder/Meghan’s ski pal Kelly McKee Zajfen, proving that this sweet soft launch includes women in various fields.
Currently, the recipients of jars 1 and 2, 4 and 5, 7-9, 11 and 12, 14-16, 18, and 22-50 remain unrevealed. See below for the list of known jam giftees so far.
