In John Legend‘s new music video “Wild”, he dropped the news that he and wife Chrissy Teigen are expecting their third child.
What We Know:
- Legend’s new music video for the song “Wild” on his new album, Bigger Love, premiered on Thursday with Teigen as his co-star. In one of the last shots of the video, the couple stands on the beach cradling Teign’s baby bump, hinting at their growing family.
- Legend and Teigen are already parents of daughter, Luna, 4, and son, Miles, 2. Both children were also featured in the new music video, holding hands with the couple on the beach in the scene prior to the reveal of Teigen’s baby bump. The entire video appears to be not only a tribute to the couple’s love and romance but also to their growing family.
- The video was directed by Nabil Elderkin, who first introduced the couple 14 years ago on the set of the Grammy-winning R&B singer’s “Stereo” visual where Teigen first played his love interest. In this newest video, she reprises her role, but this time with their kids.
- The beautiful video is the pinnacle of romance as it features horses galloping on the beach with waves crash against the shoreline in the background. The pair kiss on a billowing white canopy bed, allowing the visual for “Wild” to create one of Legend’s most romantic gestures for his wife.
- Legend and Teigen did not immediately comment on the announcement. Shortly after YouTube premiered the music video, Vevo tweeted to catch the “beautiful surprise” at the end of the video, a tweet which Teigen retweeted with no further comment. Similarly, Legend went on to “like” a fan Tweet that read: “I am CRYING I love Chrissy and John so much this is AWESOME NEWS! Watch his new video…SO cute!!!!!!”
- Ahead of the premiere, the couple also spoke about how special it was to be able to watch their relationship evolve throughout the course of Legend’s music videos. “We have ‘All of Me’, the marriage, no kids yet. ‘Love Me Now’ with Luna and this one with Miles,” said Teigen. “It’s been chronicling our family’s growth and our journey and we’re so happy that this video is the next chapter,” Legend added.
- The couple had previously shared their difficult journey to and with parenthood. In 2015, Teigen shared that the couple had been trying for years to become pregnant, choosing later to implant a female embryo which resulted in her pregnancy with their daughter Luna. Teigen also shared her difficult battle with postpartum depression after Luna’s birth. Two years later, the couple shared they had conceived their second child, Miles, with the help of in vitro fertilization (IVF). It is unclear if the couple used IVF for the newest addition of their family.
- Late Thursday night, Teigen tweeted a video showing off the baby bump, saying “look at this third baby sh-t, what the? Oh my god!” The couple has yet to comment on the due date or gender of the baby.
“Wild” features Gary Clark Jr. and comes off Legend’s seventh studio album Bigger Love, which peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard 200. We wish a huge congratulations to the pair and their growing family.
