Legend first shared the news while performing at a private concert last Friday night, telling the crowd that he and his wife welcomed the “little baby this morning.”
“What a blessed day,” the singer said, adding that although he “didn’t get much sleep,” he felt “energized” after spending “a lot of time” by Chrissy’s side in the hospital.

Going forward! Teigen, who has been married to Legend since 2013, documented her latest pregnancy on social media with plenty of updates.
Chrissy announced she was expecting on Instagram in August, posting photos of her burgeoning baby bump.
The happy news came almost two years after she and John lost their son Jack at 20 weeks pregnant. She later revealed that the death of her late son was the result of a life-saving abortion, not a miscarriage as she originally claimed.
She explained that she made the “difficult decision” to terminate the pregnancy after accepting the fact that she and Jack would probably survive.
‘Let’s call it what it was: it was an abortion. An abortion to save my life for a baby who had absolutely no chance. And to be honest, I never, ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago,” Chrissy confessed, according to THR.
