Chrissy Teigen & John Legend Quietly Welcome 4th Baby Via Surrogate

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s family just got bigger! The model and Grammy winner welcomed their fourth baby via surrogate on June 19 and announced Wren Alexander Stephens’ birth on Wednesday, June 28 in an Instagram post. Teigen wrote that she had always wanted to have four children and had looked into having a baby via surrogate after losing her son Jack in 2020.

At one point early in her surrogacy journey, she decided she wanted to “try to carry just one more time,” restarting the IVF process. She eventually became pregnant with her daughter Esti. Around the same time, Legend and Teigen met Alexandra, who was a surrogate for their baby boy. The cookbook author noted that they chose their son’s middle name in honor of their “most incredible, loving, compassionate” surrogate. “We are so happy to tell the world he is here, with a name forever connected to you, Wren Alexander Stephens,” she wrote.

Wren’s birth comes five months after welcoming Esti on January 13. Teigen and Legend are also parents to daughter Luna and son Miles.

Shortly after announcing the arrival of their fourth child, Teigen shared an Instagram reel of the newborn showcasing his “amazing head of hair” (as one fan put it), writing in a caption: “The hair. Simple plan is shaking.” Followers were quick to comment on the adorable clip, including Andy Cohen, who commented: “Oh my gd. He is both of you to a tee.”

The model has been open about her IVF journey in the past. Last year, she shared that she was restarting the process, but asked fans to respect her privacy. “The bloating is a b*tch, so I humbly beg you to stop asking if I’m pregnant because while I know it’s said with excited, good intentions, it just kind of sucks to hear because I am the opposite of pregnant,” she wrote on Instagram in February 2022.

“But also like please stop asking people, anyone, if they’re pregnant ... I’d rather be the one to tell you and not some poor woman who will look you in the eyes through tears and that’s how you finally learn,” she added.
