Chrissy Teigen Welcomes Baby No. 4 With Husband John Legend Via Surrogate

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have welcomed a fourth baby together, son Wren Alexander Stephens.

Teigen revealed the new addition to their family Wednesday on Instagram, writing, "For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted four children."

In her post, which also featured photos of baby Wren, Teigen shared how she prepared to be a mother of four when she just a child.

"As a little girl, 2 glow worms and 2 cabbage patch dolls were perpetually in my arms, helping me stir in my pretend kitchen, watching Alf with me. We’d sleep together nightly, each getting the same amount of kisses as to not make the others jealous. My mom always searched for the Pound Puppy with 4 pups in her pouch, having no qualms about opening and peeking inside before purchasing."

The television personality reflected on her devastating pregnancy loss in 2020 with son Jack at 20 weeks pregnant.

"After losing Jack, I didn't think I'd be able to carry any more babies of my own. To be honest, I've personally blocked out a lot of my mindset during that time, but one clear memory is being surrounded by people who wanted to make sure I wouldn't go through that pain and loss again."

The following year, they contacted a surrogacy agency and considered have two surrogates, "to each bring us a healthy baby boy or girl. Twins, kinda?!"

However, she soon had a change of heart.

"At some point, early in our surrogacy journey, I came out of a therapy session, walked downstairs and said to John - 'I want to try to carry just one more time. If it doesn’t work, we will be okay. We’ve already seen the worst.' I promised I would be okay no matter what happened. I remember saying I just couldn’t go on wondering my whole life if I should have tried again."

They began undergoing the IVF process, which helped them conceive and welcome son Miles, 5, and daughter, Luna.

"We made new embryos. We did my transfer, and we’re so happy to learn it worked - we were pregnant with out little girl, Esti," recalled Teigen of her Esti, who she gave birth to in January.

She continued, "Around this same time, we also met the most incredible, loving, compassionate surrogate we could ever imagine, Alexandra. I knew she was a perfect match for us the moment we spoke to her. All our wishes and dreams aligned. I wanted to be her friend, I wanted our children to play, I wanted dinner together, I wanted to lay my head on her belly and be able to feel the hiccups and kicks. I wanted them to be in our lives for as long as time would allow."

Though their experience wasn't without heartache and loss, Teigen saluted Alexandra for her tenacity to keep going.

"The first embryo we tried with Alex didn’t survive, and I will never forget how hard she fought to get ready for a second transfer," wrote Teigen. "How much she gave up her own body - surgeries to get scar tissues cleared, the mental toll it takes to go through all of that for yourself, much less for other people."

She shared her experience with the first week of Alexandra's pregnancy and was sure to simply be "patient."

"Not wanting to rush the process, we took a breath… were just patient," Teigen continued. "I laid around, enjoying the first trimester of my pregnancy, with of course a little bit of fear that isn’t any different from any other expecting couple. As we crept toward the safe zone of my own pregnancy, we were overjoyed to learn Alexandra had become pregnant with a little boy. Our little boy."

She and Alexandra ultimately bonded over their pregnancies, and reality television.

"We are hot pot to celebrate, watched Vanderpump Rules with our growing bellies, our families blending into one for the past year," she recalled.

She revealed that Alexandra delivered Wren "just minutes before midnight on June 19th," adding: "I got to witness the most beautiful woman, my friend, our surrogate, give birth amidst a bit of chaos, but with strength and pure joy and love."

Sending a note to Alexandra, Teigen said, "We want to say thank you for this incredible gift you have given us, Alexandra. And we are so happy to tell the world he is here, with a name forever connected to you, Wren Alexander Stephens."

Concluded the new mom of four: "Our hearts, and our home, are officially full. And to our Jack, we know both their angel kisses are from you."

Legend also celebrated his youngest child with an Instagram photo featuring all four of his little ones.

"Wren Alexander Stephens, our new love," he captioned the photo.
