Congratulations are certainly in order for John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, who welcomed a third child into their family on January 13. The Voice coach announced the arrival of Esti Maxine Stephens with an adorable photo of the little one being held by her older brother Miles and sister Luna. A-listers including Kris Jenner, Viola Davis, Kate Hudson and Angela Bassett, just to name a few, flew to the comments sections of the couple’s respective social media posts to celebrate their rainbow baby.
The path to becoming a family of five was not an easy one for the EGOT winner and his multi-hyphenate wife. The couple — who started dating in 2007 and have been married since 2013 — suffered a miscarriage in 2020, and Chrissy Teigen has been open about the IVF journey that followed. Even when announcing her pregnancy in August 2022, the cookbook author admitted to having more nerves than excitement. However, when John Legend shared the photo of his three children together on Instagram, it was clear there was nothing but love:
John Legend’s friends and supporters in Hollywood were quick to celebrate Esti’s arrival, as a number of celebrities flooded the comments section. This included the “Ordinary People” singer’s fellow Academy Award winner Viola Davis, who wrote:
Aaaaaahhh!!!! Mazaltov!!!! Blessings to you and yours!!! Beautiful ❤️❤️
Angela Bassett, Ali Wong and The Voice's official page also chimed in with multiple heart emojis, while more words of enthusiasm were expressed by everyone from The Kardashian's momager Kris Jenner to John Legend’s team members Omar Jose Cardona and Kim Cruse from the most recent season of The Voice.

It’s great to see so much love and support for John Legend, Chrissy Teigen and their family. The “All of Me” singer has decided to step away from The Voice for its upcoming 23rd season -- which premieres Monday, March 6 on NBC -- so he can spend time with his family and do a little bit of touring. However, he did confirm that he’ll “be back on The Voice” in future seasons. Be sure to check out our 2023 TV schedule to see what other premieres are coming soon.
