John Legend says his 4 kids bring 'a lot of joy', 'positive energy' to their home

LOS ANGELES: Grammy-winning singer-songwriter John Legend has opened up about his family with wife Chrissy Teigen, and how their four kids make their days brighter.

"They bring a lot of joy to the house and a lot of positive energy," Legend says of Luna Simone, 7, Miles Theodore, 5, Esti Maxine, 10 months, and Wren Alexander, 4 months, reports 'People' magazine.

As for the newest additions to his brood, specifically, Legend notes: "They don't cry a lot, so we feel really blessed and excited to have them as part of our home and part of our family now".

Legend and Teigen, 37, welcomed their oldest child in April 2016, before Miles joined as a new addition in May 2018.

The couple later suffered a pregnancy loss with son Jack, their third child, in September 2020. As per 'People', the family then welcomed daughter Esti earlier this year on January 13.

At the time, the EGOT winner first shared the news at a private concert. "What a blessed day," he told the crowd just hours after Teigen had given birth. Legend and Teigen's family then expanded once more when they welcomed their baby boy Wren via surrogate on June 19, 2023.

Currently, Legend says that his oldest two kids are doing great. He told ‘People, "They're in school. Miles is in kindergarten and Luna's in second grade. Luna just started doing homework, which is fun for me because I like overseeing her homework, and I was always kind of a very precocious student". "So I get to relive that with my daughter and son".

As for his younger two, the ‘All of Me’ crooner added that the infants are reaching some milestones of their own, and he and Teigen "love" being a family of six. "Esti just started crawling a couple of weeks ago, and Wren is 4 months old now," he said. "They smile a lot."
