Beloved musician John Legend, and his former model wife, Chrissy Teigen, have faced many challenges in welcoming their third child. They suffered infertility and miscarriages, but last week it all turned around for the couple.

Teigen and Legend welcomed their third child, a baby girl. The couple took to Instagram to announce the little girl's arrival, and they each talked about how ecstatic they were to have her in their lives and to have given their children another sibling.

Almost two years ago, in September 2021, Teigen and Legend faced an extremely public miscarriage. Teigen miscarried their son, who they were calling Jack, at 20 weeks gestation and announced the heartbreaking news on Instagram.

Teigen shared photos of the process of her miscarriage and said she did it because she knew that she would want the pictures one day, and she wanted to share the news with her fans personally.

It was a heartbreaking time for the family, and while Teigen spoke out about the miscarriage early, Legend took more than a year to share his feelings about losing his son so late in his wife's pregnancy.

He talked about what it felt like to suffer the tragedy and also how it affected those around him when they shared the news on social media and faced judgment because of that. Now, they are stronger.

He mentioned that he was devastated by the loss and then talked about why they had chosen to share their hospital photos. He shared:

"I was worried, but our instinct was to do it because people knew we were pregnant, and Chrissy felt like she needed it to tell the story completely about what happened."

Legend and Teigen faced backlash for choosing to share their hospital pictures, but he said they did not regret doing so. Legend said it helped many other families who had faced similar tragedies and many fans sent them an "outpouring of love and support."

While the musician admitted that the miscarriage tested their family's resilience and strength, it helped them see who they are as a family and who he and Teigen are as a couple. He confirmed they came out stronger for it.

"Daddy Sheds Nightly Tears": Legend Shows Baby Who Is His "Twin"

Last week, Legend and Teigen announced that they had finally welcomed their healthy baby girl into the family after Teigen announced she was pregnant last year. The family is delighted at their new addition to the family.

While Legend and Teigen each shared a photo of their youngest daughter, Esti, with their two elder children, Luna and Miles, there were no photos of the infant's face. Teigen took to Instagram to share a close-up of Esti's face.

The photo showed Esti peacefully sleeping as she was held. Legend then took to Instagram to share a picture of him holding Esti in a cozy turtle neck sweater. The pair both looked at the camera as Legend beamed.

He captioned the post simply saying: "Our new love." Fans commented that Esti looked just like her father, and some even thought the little girl was her father's "twin" in the new photo of her face. Another fan said how beautiful the latest addition to the family was.

The photos come a week after Teigen took to Instagram to announce her daughter's birth and mentioned that "Daddy sheds nightly tears" at the bond that Esti already shares with Luna and Miles.

When their daughter was two years old, Teigen gushed about Legend's parenting skills. She said he was an excellent teacher and mentioned that her daughter and husband shared a unique bond.

While she acknowledged how great a father he was, Teigen said her favorite part about Legend being a father was that he was still an excellent husband and kept the spark in their relationship alive.

Legend Is a Caring Father Despite His Mother Disappearing from His Childhood

Although Legend is a wonderful father, he does not have excellent parenting role models. In fact, he has often shared his experience with his mother regarding substance abuse issues. He was only a teenager when he had these experiences.

Legend said that in his teenage years, his mother "disappeared" into substance abuse and heartbreak after her mother passed away. Legend said it tore their family apart to lose his maternal grandmother, but for his mother, it was simply too much to take on, who struggled for over a decade.

The musician's relationship with his mother deteriorated when she was in active addiction. However, he has managed to mend fences with her over time, and she even spends time with her grandchildren.

Legend's mother sees her grandchildren often and even visits her son when he is filming "The Voice.” Although it was difficult for them for a while, they have come to an understanding. Talking about their relationship, he admitted:

"We're really close now, partially because of the kids. But you have to do some forgiving too when you're older. We're in a really good place now."

Legend has also spoken out about how he feels about the resources fathers have in public. One of the gripes he had was with the fact that there are no changing tables in men's public restrooms.

He believes that men have an essential role to play in their children's lives, and they should be able to do everything that mothers can do in public. He shared that it should be more convenient for fathers in public places to be excellent fathers.

The singer said public places needed to ensure that there are facilities available for fathers to do the best they can for their children. Congratulations to Teigen and Legend's growing family. We wish them nothing but health and happiness for the future.
