Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's Kids
John Legend Shares Adorable Milestone From 7-Month-Old Daughter Esti
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are enjoying family life with their four kiddos. The couple, who got married on 14 Sept., 2013, announced on 28 June that they quietly welcomed a baby boy that month via surrogate — adding to their brood of adorable children. Since then, the pair have been sharing glimpses of their family on social media, from their sweet holiday photos to wrangling their rambunctious kids for family portraits.
Over the years, the two stars have become a fan-favourite celebrity couple, and once you add their precious children into the mix, they're almost too cute to handle as a family unit. Legend and Teigen welcomed their first child, daughter Luna, in 2016, and their son, Miles, followed in 2018. The pair frequently post about their children on Instagram and have been transparent about their parenthood journeys. "I'm an open, free spirit and I love kids to be kids," Teigen previously told People of her parenting outlook. "For us, kindness is such a big thing. When you meet our kids, they're very warm and friendly. You instill those things in them, but for the most part let them be creative and wondrous and spirited and curious beings."
Teigen shares all facets of her life with fans and is very open about her family. After announcing her pregnancy at the end of Legend's music video for "Wild" in August 2020, the mum of three opened up a month later about being on bed rest due to a weak placenta. After being hospitalised due to pregnancy complications, Teigen later revealed that she and Legend lost their baby boy at about 20 weeks (it was later revealed that Teigen had to have a lifesaving abortion). They named him Jack.
"We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we've never felt before," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "To our Jack - I'm so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn't give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you."
Two years later, via an Instagram post shared on 3 Aug., 2022, Teigen revealed that she and her husband were expecting another addition to their family, a daughter named Esti Maxine Stephens, whom they welcomed on 3 Jan. Legend announced their baby girl's arrival to a crowd at a private concert, calling the occasion "a blessed day."
A month after their daughter's arrival, on 15 Feb., the couple shared the first portrait of their expanded family on Instagram, with the pair and their first three kids sporting Valentine's Day-themed colours. "excuse the spit up!! we are doing the best we can over here lol," Teigen joked in a caption. Meanwhile, in his own post, Legend wrote, "I had the best Valentine's dates last night. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️."
They doubled down on the group photo with a new one on 1 March, but Teigen admitted she already has a new goal: "all of us AND all the animals (poodle, frenchie, something I dunno terrier, basset hound, two bunnies and bearded dragon, prob something else by the time this loads)."

Miles Theodoure Stephens
Miles, born on 16 May, 2018, is Teigen and Legend's second child, and yeah, we just did a double take, too. The little guy is a spitting image of his dad (who, according to Teigen, looks just like Arthur the aardvark), and he somehow gets cuter and cuter as time goes on. Fun fact: Miles's name was inspired by the great Miles Davis.
In Teigen's 2021 People cover story, the mom of three revealed that she was, at the time, teaching her son early on to "embrace" his emotions. "He wears his heart on his sleeve, and we embrace that," she said. "I think more men should embrace their emotions. I think that's really important in this world . . . There is no 'Be a man' in our house. There's no right way to be a man, and John is so good about showing them through how he treats me how to be a good man, how to be a good father. It's wonderful to see."
On Miles's second birthday, the family threw an at-home car-themed birthday party and wore adorable matching Elmo shirts. On a photo of Miles with his monthly milestones chalkboard, Teigen wrote: "Happy birthday to the boy who gives our household so much life. You're bonkers, my tiny fearless love bug, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I melt every time I look at your cheeky little face. I love you, happy TWO!"
