Chrissy Teigen and John Legend surprised everyone on 28 June by revealing that their fourth child, a baby boy, was born via surrogate on 19 June. The pair welcomed a daughter named Esti Maxine earlier in the year, who joined their older two children, daughter Luna and son Miles. They also lost a child named Jack at 20 weeks into Teigen's pregnancy in 2020.
"For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted four children," Teigen wrote in her Instagram announcement. "As a little girl, 2 glow worms and 2 cabbage patch dolls were perpetually in my arms, helping me stir in my pretend kitchen, watching 'Alf' with me." She continued, "After losing Jack, I didn't think I'd be able to carry any more babies on my own. To be honest, I've personally blocked out a lot of my mindset during that time, but one clear memory is being surrounded by people who wanted to make sure I wouldn't go through that pain and loss again."
