John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have welcomed baby number 4, through a surrogate. A baby boy named Wren Alexander Stephens.
He will be joining siblings Luna (7), Miles (5) and Esti (3 months).
"For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted four children. As a little girl, 2 glow worms and 2 cabbage patch dolls were perpetually in my arms, helping me stir in my kitchen, watching Alf with me. We'd sleep together nightly, each getting the same amount of kisses as to note make the others jealous."
"My mom always searched for the Pound Puppy with 4 pups in her pouch, having no qualms about opening and peeking inside before purchasing. 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."
"With our first correspondence inquiring about perhaps having 2 tandem surrogates, to each bring us a healthy baby boy or girl. Twins, kinda?!"
Early in the journey through surrogacy, Chrissy told John she wanted to "try to carry just one more time" as they restarted IVF.
"We made new embryos. We did my transfer, and were so happy to learn it worked—we were pregnant with our little girl, Esti."
At this time, they also found a "compassionate surrogate" named Alexandra.
As Chrissy mentioned, it was around this time that they found a "compassionate surrogate" named Alexandra.
The first embryo didn't survive, so they paused before trying again.
"As we crept toward the safe zone of my own pregnancy, we were overjoyed to learn Alexandra had become pregnant with a little boy. Our little boy."
"We ate hot pot to celebrate, watched Vanderpump Rules with our growing bellies, our families blending into one for the past year. Just minutes before midnight on June 19th, I got to witness the most beautiful woman, my friend, our surrogate, give birth amidst a bit of chaos, but with strength and pure joy and love."
Chrissy thanked Alexandra for the "incredible gift" telling her his middle name, named after her.
"Our hearts, and our home, are officially full. And to our Jack, we know both their angel kisses are from you."
John also shared the news on Instagram, sharing a series of images with the caption, "Wren Alexander Stephens, our new love."
Only months ago, it was revealed how Luna and Miles were adjusting to Esti.
"We weren't sure how they would take it. I felt like they were a little jealous when mommy was pregnant."
"But as soon as Esti arrived, they're just exploding with love and joy, and they're so caring and loving toward her. They want to hold her, they want to kiss her and it's really exciting."
