Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have welcomed a baby boy via surrogate, nearly five months after welcoming their daughter Esti.
Teigen took to Instagram on Wednesday to confirm the news in a heartfelt post.
She wrote, “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.”
Adding, “In 2021, we reached out to a surrogacy agency, with our first correspondence inquiring about perhaps having 2 tandem surrogates, to each bring us a healthy baby boy or girl. Twins, kinda?!”
At some point in their surrogacy journey, Chrissy “came out of a therapy session, walked downstairs and said to John – I want to try to carry just one more time. If it doesn’t work, we will be okay. We’ve already seen the worst.”
She continued, “I promised I would be okay no matter what happened. I remember saying I just couldn’t go on wondering my whole life if I should have tried again. And so we restarted the IVF process, the same process that gave us our beautiful Luna and Miles. We made new embryos. We did my transfer, and were so happy to learn it worked-we were pregnant with our little girl, Esti.”
The Cravings cookbook author and Legend welcomed their son Wren Alexander Stephens on Monday, June 19.
“We want to say thank you for this incredible gift you have given us, Alexandra,” she said, referring to her surrogate. “And we are so happy to tell the world he is here, with a name forever connected to you, Wren Alexander Stephens.”
“Our hearts, and our home, are officially full. And to our Jack, we know both their angel kisses are from you.”
