Chrissy Teigen and John Legend shared their newborn daughter’s name — and an adorable first photo.
“She’s here!” Teigen captioned a Jan. 19 Instagram photo. “Esti Maxine Stephens — the house is bustling and our family could not be happier. Daddy sheds nightly tears of joy seeing Luna and Miles so full of love, and I am learning you still need diapers with a c section!? We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes — we feel it all!”
In the photo, Teigen and Legend’s eldest children, Luna, 6, and Miles, 4, both hold their little sibling.
Spokespeople for Teigen and Legend confirmed the birth to TODAY.com.
According to People, Este was born on Jan. 13. The outlet reported that Legend broke the news at a private concert, explaining that he “didn’t get a lot of sleep” but felt “energized.”
The family welcomed their newest addition more than two years after losing a child at 20 weeks.
“We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” the “Cravings” author shared in a Sept. 30, 2020 Instagram post. “We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough.”
In the post, Teigen revealed the name of the child.
“We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital,” she wrote. “But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack. So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.”
The following month, Teigen shared in a Medium post that doctors had diagnosed her with partial placenta abruption. According to the Mayo Clinic, it’s when the placenta breaks away from the uterine wall, limiting the baby’s oxygen supply and causing maternal bleeding. (Today)
