00:00 Moving on to some happy news from Chrissy Teigen
00:02 and John Legend.
00:03 Five months after giving birth to her third child,
00:05 Chrissy and John have welcomed their fourth via surrogate.
00:09 The pair's son, Ren Alexander-Stevens,
00:11 was born on June 19th,
00:12 and the model confirmed the news via Instagram,
00:15 explaining the process of how she came to have
00:17 two kids born five months apart.
00:19 Chrissy said she's always wanted four kids,
00:21 and recalled in September 2020,
00:23 when she miscarried her son Jack at 20 weeks pregnant,
00:26 she admitted how she feared going through that loss again,
00:29 which led the couple to reach out
00:30 to a surrogacy agency in 2021.
00:33 Amidst the surrogacy journey though,
00:35 Chrissy had a breakthrough in therapy,
00:36 and realized she wanted to try to carry
00:38 her own child one more time.
00:40 After another round of IVF,
00:41 Chrissy became pregnant with Estie,
00:43 and during this time,
00:44 she and John also met their surrogate, Alexandra.
00:47 The SI Swim star explained,
00:49 "I knew she was a perfect match for us
00:51 "the moment we spoke to her.
00:53 "All of our wishes and dreams aligned.
00:55 "I wanted to be her friend,
00:56 "I wanted our children to play,
00:58 "I wanted dinner together,
00:59 "I wanted them to be in our lives
01:01 "for as long as a time that it would allow."
01:04 There was one embryo transfer that didn't survive,
01:06 but then a second transfer was successful.
01:09 Chrissy and Alexandra spent several months
01:11 pregnant together, building a friendship and a bond.
01:13 Chrissy and John chose the middle name Alexander
01:16 for their baby boy in honor of their surrogate.
01:19 We are so beyond happy for these two.
