Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s almost two-year-old daughter Esti is doing what toddlers do best — really committing to their latest thing. You know the way little kids latch onto a new favorite show or item or catchphrase and use it relentlessly — no matter how random? Well, that’s the way little Esti is with … wait for it … John Cena.
Yes, that John Cena. The professional wrestler.
“A few months ago, Esti mysteriously became obsessed with John Cena,” Teigen wrote on Instagram. “So I got her more John Cenas and now she can’t do anything without a John Cena.”
The cookbook author shared a hilarious carousel of videos on Instagram where Esti and her beloved John Cena action figures — one of which is shirtless and sculpted! — indeed do everything together. She uses “John Cena’s” hand to pet one of the family’s dogs, puts her mom’s ring on John Cena’s hand (“marrying” the actor?!), and uses his hand to type on her little toy Leapfrog computer.
Followers are equally obsessed with Esti’s commitment to Cena.
“I’m. Crying. Smart girl,” actress Vanessa Hudgens commented. Because if you’re going to pick a man to be obsessed with … Cena is not half bad. The internet is now desperate for Esti to meet the real John Cena:
“Please let John Cena see this 😂.” “Omg they have to meet now” “John Cena MUST visit [Esti] and we want to see it”
Although, as one person pointed out, it might not go as expected: “Imagine her seeing him in real life. It’ll be hit or miss. Like kids meeting their favorite characters at Disney.”
We have to believe Cena would happily make the time to see Esti. In 2022, the entertainer set the Guinness Book Record for granting the most Make-A-Wish wishes (650!). Of course, Esti and her three siblings are not involved in the Make-A-Wish Foundation, but Cena’s previous comments about “loving” the “joy” that comes from meeting kids make us think he would be willing to connect regardless.
“The reason I love Make-a-Wish so much is because those are those families’ wishes. It’s like, ‘Yo, you can do anything you want’ — and Make-a-Wish’s list is enormous. They literally will do anything you want — ‘I want to kick it with John Cena and go see him wrestle.’ That is the coolest thing I have ever heard in my life,” he said during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2022.
And so we’d venture a guess that he’d think Esti using Cena dolls to do everything is pretty cool too. Here’s to hoping we see a video of the unlikely duo in the very near future!
