John Legend, the exceptional singer of our time, not only has millions of fans around the world, but also his closest neighbors as his biggest cheerleaders. However, even with all the love and support, there are times when Legend feels a bit uncomfortable, all thanks to his adorable kids.
The Funny Moments with His Kids
Recently, during an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden, Legend shared some amusing experiences he’s had with his children that make him feel a little ashamed. Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, have three children together. Their son, Miles, was born in 2018, followed by their daughter, Luna, in 2016. Their newest addition, Esti, arrived just a few months ago. The couple openly discussed the heartbreak of their previous loss, making Esti’s arrival even more special.
Legend revealed that every morning, when he drops his kids off at school, they insist on playing his music in the car. “Especially my son,” the singer shared with a smile. “He’s like a little Rain Man when it comes to song lengths. He knows every one of my songs and even remembers how long each one is. Like, ‘Actually, ‘Green Light’ is a little longer than this one. It’s 3:19.’”
The Embarrassing Car Ride
Can you imagine how awkward it is for Legend to blast his own music while dropping off his kids at school? To add to the embarrassment, there are other famous children, like Jay-Z and Beyonce’s kids, who also attend the same school. “I’m pulling up with the music blaring, and it’s just so embarrassing,” confessed Legend. “No, Jay-Z isn’t playing ‘Reasonable Doubt’ for his kids in the car, at least not that I’ve heard.” It seems even superstar parents like Legend feel self-conscious in front of other parents!
The Beautiful Name, Esti
The couple recently revealed the name of their daughter, Esti. Teigen shared that they came up with the name while on vacation in Italy. “I kept seeing the word Este as I looked up at the hotel where we were getting married,” she explained with a grin. “And I thought, ‘I love the name Este.’” Little did they know that the name had a more significant meaning. Teigen added, “After we named her Esti, John found out that it was his great-grandmother’s name. It was initially Esther until they changed it to Esti.” What a wonderful family connection!
A Truly Special Family
It’s hard not to adore this beautiful family. Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, and their kids are truly special. They share delightful moments together, making lasting memories. So, go ahead and share their lovely story with others to bring a smile to their faces too!
