Chrissy Teigen celebrated the emotional delivery of her and John Legend’s second child by posting the first photo of her newborn baby on Instagram.
The pair welcomed a new addition to their family earlier this month, with John, 44, celebrating the arrival while performing at a private concert.
In the days afterwards, the couple has remained silent on social media about the delivery, with Chrissy eventually uploading an Instagram snap of the newborn girl all covered up while being adored by her elder siblings, Luna, six, and Miles, four.
Revealing her name, the 37-year-old model wrote: ‘She’s here! Esti Maxine Stephens – the house is bustling and our family could not be happier 💕
‘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.’
Following Esti’s birth, the family has been swamped with messages of congratulations and support.

‘Welcome to the world babygurl!!’ one person commented underneath the photo, while another wrote: ‘Congratulations to you and your beautiful family.’
‘So so happy for you & your family, @chrissyteigen 💗💗 Welcome to the world, Esti!’ said presenter Katie Couric, while Sports Illustrated editor MJ Day added: ‘So happy for you all. Congratulations, my heart is exploding for you!!!! 💗Esti💗.’
It was previously disclosed that Chrissy had given birth on Friday January 13, with John telling the crowd at a concert that evening that they welcomed ‘the little baby this morning’.
‘What a blessed day,’ he’s said to have added.
The musician also admitted that he ‘didn’t get a lot of sleep’ but ‘feels energised’ after spending ‘a lot of time’ at the hospital.

Chrissy announced her second pregnancy in August 2022, two years after she and John lost their baby, Jack.
The Lip Sync Battle host had an abortion in October 2020 to save her life because her baby had ‘no chance’ of survival, despite previously believing she’d miscarried.
When she revealed her pregnancy, she wrote on social media: ‘The last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again.’
Sharing photos of her bump, she added: ‘1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as u can see!) we have another on the way.’
The model continued in her caption: ‘Every appointment I’ve said to myself, “ok if it’s healthy today I’ll announce” but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I’m just too nervous still.
‘I don’t think I’ll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I’m feeling hopeful and amazing. Ok phew it’s been very hard keeping this in for so long!’
