John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s baby boy crowned People’s ‘Cutest Baby of 2023’

It’s no surprise 5-month-old Wren won with his dark curls and chubby cheeks!

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s 5-month-old son, Wren, is already winning titles!

People magazine announced on Nov. 7, that Wren had been named the cutest baby of 2023, in its Sexiest Man Alive issue. And with his dark curls and chubby cheeks — it’s easy to see why!

The crown was once held by infants including Andy Cohen’s son, Benjamin and Anderson Cooper’s little guy, Wyatt.

Wren’s dad, earned the honor of Sexiest Man Alive in 2019.

“I was excited, but I was a little scared at the same time because it’s a lot of pressure,” Legend joked while chatting with the publication. “Everyone’s going to be picking me apart to see if I’m sexy enough to hold this title. I’m (also) following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me!”

Wren isn’t the first kid in the family making waves. His sister Esti Maxine Stephens recently uttered two syllables.

“Dada,” she said in a new video her dad, John Legend, posted on Instagram Aug. 13.

The dad of four was so thrilled he thinks he actually startled her.

“DADA! Then I got too excited and scared her 😂” he wrote in the caption.

Esti was just born in January, so it took some prodding from him and her mom, Chrissy Teigen, for the word to eek out.

“What’s my name,” the “All Of Me” singer asked twice off camera.

Crickets.

“What’s daddy’s name, da-da?” the mother of four chimed in.

Esti immediately repeated “Dada” back to her.

The “Bigger Love” singer let out a loud cheer: “Caught on tape,” he celebrated.

Esti then began crying. In the video, her 37-year-old mom is holding youngest son, Wren Alexander.

Luna Simone Stephens born in 2016

“We are so in love with you!” wrote Teigen in a post on Instagram at the time. “And sleepy. Very sleepy.”

As the couple’s oldest, fans have had more time to see her personality develop and shine throughout the years. One noteworthy trait is that she appears to have emerged as quite the go-getter.

In 2019, a video of Luna negotiating with Teigen for candy was shared on Instagram, and the then-3-year-old could be seen arguing a pretty fair point.

“Tell me about why you deserve the candy,” Teigen instructed Luna in the video.

“I want the candy ’cause I want it,” Luna replied matter-of-factly in the video. “And I like it.”

Miles Theodore Stephens, born in 2018

In May 2018, the couple revealed they had welcomed a son, Miles Theodore Stephens. In a post shared on her Instagram page, Teigen described how their new family of four was “drowning in his little peeps and nuzzles.”

“Our household feels overwhelmed with love,” she finished the caption.

In 2022, fans got a look into Miles’ potential for developing an interest in sports like his father when he attended his first NFL game.

Teigen shared slides of mournful black-and-white photographs of the couple in the hospital and also holding their baby boy.

“We are shocked, and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” Teigen wrote in an emotional caption for the post. “We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough.”

In the days, weeks and years that passed, Legend and Teigen continued to be transparent about their heartbreak.

“Driving home from the hospital with no baby. How can this be real,” Teigen tweeted on Sept. 30, 2021.

One year later, on the anniversary of their loss, Teigen shared another post honoring her son, memorializing her and Legend’s tearful experience of losing her son in the hospital.

Esti Maxine Stephens, born in 2023

Legend and Teigen shared that their family had blossomed with the birth of their daughter, Esti Maxine. Born on Jan. 13, Esti came almost two years after the loss of Jack.

“She’s here! Esti Maxine Stephens — the house is bustling and our family could not be happier,” Teigen captioned the post. “Daddy sheds nightly tears of joy seeing Luna and Miles so full of love, and I am learning you still need diapers with a c-section!? We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes — we feel it all! X.”

A month later, the couple celebrated Valentine’s Day with a family picture that included all of their children wearing red (Esti included) on Instagram.

Wren Alexander Stephens, born in 2023

Legend and Teigen’s world became a family of six just six months after the birth of Esti.

The couple announced the June 19 birth of their son, Wren Alexander Stephens, via surrogate in a post on Instagram, with Teigen revealing that she had dreamed of becoming a mom of four ever since childhood.

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted four children,” Teigen captioned her announcement post on Instagram. “As a little girl, 2 glow worms and 2 cabbage patch dolls were perpetually in my arms, helping me stir in my kitchen, watching ‘Alf’ with me. We’d sleep together nightly, each getting the same amount of kisses as to not make the others jealous.”
