'The Voice' Star John Legend Says His Kids Give Him Music Feedback (Exclusive)
John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's four kids may keep their heads spinning, but the couple wouldn't have it any other way.
"Having all that energy, love and laughter in the house is beautiful," John—dad to daughters Luna, who's celebrating her 10th birthday April 14, and Esti, 3, and sons Miles, 7, and Wren, 2—told E! News in September. "Everybody's walking. Everybody's talking."
They're also busy helping out in the kitchen, shuttling between activities (Chrissy's mini-me Luna is quite the ice skater and a burgeoning entertainment correspondent), enjoying nature and having a blast with an impressive array of toys—as seen in a carousel of pics their mom shared in November with the caption, "20 times I was happy this week."
It also didn't hurt that "three of them are now at the same school, so it makes drop-off and pick-up a little easier," John noted to E!. "It's chaotic, but it's a nice kind of chaos."
Having such a full house was Chrissy's dream, the 40-year-old—who lost son Jack at 20 weeks in 2020—relaying after Wren was born via surrogate in June 2023 (six months after she gave birth to Esti) that she always wanted four kids.
"Your heart has room for so many different beings," she explained on a September episode of The Motherly Podcast. "And one of the best things it’s taught me is to really embrace imperfection. When I first became a mother, little spills on the carpet, that kind of stuff drove me insane. But I really have grown into loving living in a lived-in house and a house that feels not so perfect. You get to let your kids be kids."
John, of course, knows all about embracing those perfect imperfections.

The Grammy winner shared last year how Miles being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes brought all of them closer together.
"His condition is also building grit in him, and as a family," the Grammy winner told People, "I think it's building it in us as well because we are all rallying together to support him."
And with John being just naturally a "very optimistic" and "very practical" guy, he explained, "as soon as I learned that he had this I knew it was going to be life-changing for him and for us, but I'm also like, 'We can do this.'"
He and Chrissy have proved time and again that they've got this, whatever this is.
"We've been through all kinds of things together, the highs and the lows," John told E!, "and as you mature, you grow in yourself."
And as your kids grow, you take pictures, so here are the sweetest snaps of John, Chrissy and their big family:
