Chrissy Teigen and John Legend welcomed a baby boy, Wren Alexander, via surrogate months after daughter Esti’s arrival.
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted four children,” Teigen, 37, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, June 28, noting she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to carry another baby after suffering a pregnancy loss in 2020. “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.”
The Cravings founder and Legend, 44, matched with gestational carrier Alexandra around the same time they learned Teigen was pregnant with rainbow baby Esti.
“As we crept toward the safe zone of my own pregnancy, we were overjoyed to learn that Alexandra had become pregnant with a little boy. Our little boy,” she noted on Wednesday. “We ate hot pot to celebrate, watched Vanderpump Rules with our growing bellies, our families blending into one for the past year.”
Alexandra delivered the couple’s newborn son, whose middle name honors the surrogate, on June 19. Teigen’s Wednesday upload also includes the first photos of Wren, with the new parents cuddling him in the hospital. A second image showed off the infant’s full head of hair.
Us Weekly exclusively confirmed in April that Teigen and Legend had found a surrogate and wanted to “have another child as soon as possible.”
The “All of Me” singer — who wed Teigen in September 2013 — previously confirmed during a private concert earlier this year that the family had welcomed Esti on January 13.
“What a blessed day,” Legend told the crowd, noting that he felt “energized” after “spending a lot of time at the hospital.” The Grammy winner also shares daughter
