John Legend: A Musical Icon and a Doting Dad
Worldwide Acclaim and Local Adoration
John Legend, widely regarded as one of the finest singers of his generation, enjoys global fame with millions of fans. Yet, it’s in his neighborhood where he finds some of his most enthusiastic supporters.
Balancing Stardom with Parenthood
In a recent appearance on “The Late Late Show With James Corden,” Legend opened up about his home life and some amusing, albeit slightly embarrassing, moments with his children.
A Growing Family
Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, are proud parents to three children: Miles, born in 2018; Luna, born in 2016; and their newest addition, Esti, born just a few months ago. The couple has been open about their heartbreaking experience of losing a previous pregnancy, making Esti’s arrival even more poignant.
Musical Mornings and School Drop-offs
Legend shared a cute anecdote about his children’s preference for his music during morning school drop-offs. His son Miles, in particular, impresses with his knowledge of song lengths, often commenting on the specifics, like noting that “Green Light” is 3:19 long. This musical ritual, however, comes with a bit of awkwardness, especially given that their schoolmates include children of other music icons like Jay-Z and Beyonce. Legend humorously admits to feeling embarrassed blasting his songs while dropping off his kids.
A Name with a Story
The couple recently shared the story behind their daughter Esti’s name. The inspiration came during a vacation, where Teigen was captivated by the name “Este” seen at their wedding venue in Italy. Interestingly, after naming their daughter, they discovered that “Esti” was also the name of Legend’s great-grandmother, originally “Esther,” before it was changed.
A Family Full of Love
The Legend-Teigen family, comprising John, Chrissy, and their three children, represents a beautiful blend of love, music, and shared experiences. Their story is a heartwarming tale that continues to captivate and inspire fans around the world.
