Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have welcomed a fourth child.
Their son Wren Alexander Stephens was born on June 19, Teigen said in her social media announcement Wednesday, detailing her surrogacy journey.
“For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to have four children. As a child, 2 fireflies and 2 cabbage dolls were perpetually in my arms, helping me rummage through my make-believe kitchen, watching Alf with me,” Teigen, 37, wrote in Instagram.
The couple are also parents to Luna, 7, Miles, 4, and Esti, who was born this year.
After pregnancy loss in 2020, Teigen didn’t think she’d be able to “carry more babies” on her own.
She and Legend, 44, contacted a surrogacy agency in 2021 to ask about having two surrogates simultaneously, “Twins, kind of?” Teigen added.
“At some point early in our surrogacy journey, I walked out of a therapy session, came downstairs and said to John, I want to try performing just one more time.
“And so we restarted the IVF process, the same process that gave us our beautiful Luna and Miles. We made new embryos. We did my transfer and we were so happy to know it worked – we were pregnant with our little girl, Esti.”
Teigen and Legend welcomed Esti back in January.
Teigen praised the couple’s “incredible, loving and compassionate” surrogate, Alexandra, in the post. “I knew that she was a perfect match for us the moment we spoke to her,” Teigen said.
“We want to thank you for this amazing gift you have given us Alexandra,” Teigen wrote.
“Our hearts and home are officially full.”
