Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have welcomed their fourth child via surrogate as she shared a lengthy update to fans on social media.
The model welcomed the baby boy named Wren Alexander Stephens earlier this month on June 19 but kept the news quiet until Wednesday evening. It comes just five months after Chrissy and John welcomed his baby sister Esti.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday night, Chrissy shared snaps of her baby son and updated her 41million followers on the exciting news. "For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted four children," she wrote in a lengthy post.
"As a little girl, 2 glow worms and 2 cabbage patch dolls were perpetually in my arms, helping me stir in my pretend kitchen, watching Alf with me.
"We'd sleep together nightly, each getting the same amount of kisses as to not 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."
Chrissy also opened up about her heartbreak at losing her son Jack after a pregnancy complication at 20 weeks in 2021. "After losing Jack, I didn't think I'd be able to carry any more babies on my own," she said.
"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.
"In 2021, we reached out to a surrogacy agency, with our first correspondence inquiring about perhaps having 2 tandem surrogate, to each bring us a healthy baby boy or girl. Twins kinda?!"
She continued: "At some point, early in our surrogacy journey, I 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.
"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 have us our beautiful Luna and Miles. We made new embryos, we did my transfer, and we were so happy to learn it worked.... we were pregnant with out little girl, Esti."
Chrissy went on: "Around this same time, we also met the most incredible, loving, compassionate surrogate we could ever imagine, Alexandra. I knew she was a perfect match for us the moment we spoke to her.
"All our wishes and dreams aligned. I wanted to be her friend, I wanted our children to play, I wanted dinner together, I wanted to lay my head on her belly and be able to feel the hiccups and kicks. I wanted them to be in our lives for as long as time would allow."
