The couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen chose a name for their baby girl that has a great deal of significance.
During an interview that aired on Thursday’s broadcast of The Jennifer Hudson Show, Legend discussed the significance of the baby girl’s name, Esti Maxine Stephens, which he and Chrissy gave to their new daughter who was born a month ago.
His daughter’s name is an amalgamation of two of his grandmother’s maiden names, Esther and Maxine, as he explains: “My great-grandmother was called Esther, and my grandmother’s middle name was Maxine, we couldn’t be happier to have her join the family,” they said.
Regarding how his elder children, Luna, age 6, and Miles, age 4, are adjusting to the shift in the dynamic of the family, Legend admits that he is pleasantly pleased.
“They are being so kind and considerate to her. They looked to be a bit envious when Chrissy was pregnant, and I was scared that they wouldn’t be pleased to bring her home, but they have surpassed our expectations with how loving they are, and how excited they are to have her here. They can hardly contain their excitement about having younger siblings.”
The elated parent also discusses the choice that he and his wife, Teigen, made to openly discuss the joys and challenges that came with growing their family. In the year 2020, the couple suffered the unthinkable loss of their son Jack.
“I believe we’ve been upfront about it because we’ve had issues,” Legend continues, “i think that’s why people have accepted it.” “In order for us to create a child, we were forced to undergo IVF treatment.
A miscarriage has unfortunately occurred. I believe that a good number of households go through that, but I also believe that a good number of people were relieved that we discussed it because it made them feel as if they weren’t as alone as before.
A great number of individuals go through this, and the majority of them do it in secrecy or with the impression that they are the only ones going through it. I believe that by talking about it, Chrissy and I have helped others feel better about the trip that was taken.”
A source said one month ago that Legend and Teigen are “doing amazing” in their relationship.
According to the information provided by the source, “this is such a wonderful moment for them as a marriage, and as a family.” They have a lot of joy in the role of parenthood and are overjoyed at the prospect of growing their family.
