Chrissy Teigen, John Legend Welcome Baby Wren
Teigen and Legend’s new baby son is named Wren Alexander Stephens. He was born on June 19 via surrogate. As Teigen shared in her post, “For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted four children.”
She explained that after her pregnancy loss in 2020, she “didn’t think I’d be able to carry any more babies on my own.” So she and Legend reached out to a surrogacy agency in 2021 about “perhaps having 2 tandem surrogates, to each bring us a healthy baby boy or girl.”
However, Teigen ended up deciding that she wanted to try carrying a baby one more time. The couple underwent IVF, and Teigen became pregnant with baby Esti, who was born in January of this year.
Around the same time she got pregnant, Teigen and Legend met a surrogate named Alexandra who was “a perfect match for us.” Eventually, Alexandra became pregnant with Wren. Teigen thanked her “for this incredible gift you have given us.”

He also shared a photo in which he sits next to Teigen while she holds the baby. Another shot shows Wren with his eyes closed and his hair sticking up. Legend wrote in the post’s caption, “Wren Alexander Stephens, our new love.”
Legend also reposted Teigen’s message to their surrogate on his Instagram stories, adding four red heart emojis.
