John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have welcomed their third baby.
Legend revealed at a private concert on Friday that his cookbook author wife gave birth earlier in the day, People reported, two years after Teigen was forced to undergo a life-saving abortion.
“What a blessed day,” Legend said, according to People.
The newborn’s age and name were not immediately revealed.
Despite a lack of sleep and long hours at the hospital, Legend reportedly said he was still “energized” – a feeling that seemed to permeate his performance for the night.
Teigen, 37, and Legend, 44, are also parents to daughter Luna, 6, and son Miles, 4, whom they welcomed in April 2016 and May 2018, respectively.
In August 2020, Teigen, a former Sports Illustrated model, revealed she was pregnant by showing off her bump in Legend’s music video “Wild.”
Months later, Teigen said she miscarried after a “partial placenta abruption,” losing her pregnancy at 20 weeks.
She has since said underwent a life-saving abortion, a decision she said took more than a year for her to come to terms with.
“Let’s just call it what it was: It was an abortion,” Teigen said in September. “An abortion to save my life for a baby that had no chance. And to be honest, I never, ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago.”
Teigen’s revelation came shortly after she took to social media to announce she was again pregnant following a lengthy journey filled with IVF treatments.
“The last few years have been a blur of emotions, to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again,” she wrote alongside a mirror selfie of her growing baby bump. “1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as [you] can see!) we have another on the way.”
