Congratulations to Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, who revealed during a private concert on Friday evening that the pair has welcomed their latest bundle of joy. According to PEOPLE, the “All Of Me” singer shared the news with fans just hours after Teigen gave birth, telling the crowd that while he hadn’t gotten a lot of sleep before getting ready for the gig, he felt “energized” after having met his newborn at the hospital. “What a blessed day,” he’s quoted saying.
Several people who were in attendance at the concert confirmed the joyful baby news by hopping on Twitter, saying Legend had taken to the stage and surprised everyone with the revelation he’d become a father once again. “@johnlegend just told us he had a baby this morning #congratulations,” one fan who reportedly attended the show tweeted.
It was just a few months back when the Grammy award winner expressed his excitement about expanding his family with Teigen, whom he already shares two children with; Miles and Luna. “We’re all excited,” he gushed. ”And, you know, my kids are old enough to really be aware of what’s happening, so they’re really anticipating having a new sibling in their lives. And I think they’ll be good at being a big sister and big brother.”
Yo, my man @johnlegend broke the news that he and his wife Chrissy Teigen had a baby today.
And then he showed up to play for us at the Centurion Living Concert.

News of their baby’s arrival comes just two years after the couple announced the devastating loss of their son, Jack, after Teigen had suffered a miscarriage during her third pregnancy, which the model later clarified was actually an abortion.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last September, the 37-year-old opened up on the ordeal she was faced with after doctors told her she needed medical intervention after being diagnosed with partial placenta disruption. If she had decided not to terminate the pregnancy, there was a chance both the baby and Teigen wouldn’t survive.
The heartbreaking comment by doctors left her with no choice but to “abort” the pregnancy, she said. “Let’s just call it what it was: It was an abortion. An abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance. And to be honest, I never, ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago.”

“I told the world we had a miscarriage, the world agreed we had a miscarriage, all the headlines said it was a miscarriage. And I became really frustrated that I didn’t, in the first place, say what it was, and I felt silly that it had taken me over a year to actually understand that we had had an abortion.”
