Chrissy Teigen shared a video today of her four kiddos on the 4th of July that almost didn’t make it to her feed. It’s a video Teigen wanted to “protect” fans from, and it’s a video we’ve watched a truly embarrassing amount of times. Except, perhaps that’s the best way to show our patriotism the day after the 4th, right? By rewatching an adorable video?
In the footage, her four kids sit on the grass in matching blue and white gingham outfits from Ivy City Co. Her oldest daughter, Luna, 7, sits criss-cross-applesauce in the grass holding her 2-week-old little brother, Wren in the crook of her arm. Next to them, Miles, 5 is sitting with his little sister Esti, 5 months, between his legs. Luna looks like an absolute angel, smiling confidently at the camera while holding Wren. When he starts crying, she looks at him adoringly, adjusting his positioning and rubbing his arms to comfort the little guy.

Meanwhile, Miles supports Esti who is happy but wriggly. He has a nervous smile, trying to get her to stay still before crossing his legs around her in an attempt to get her to stay still. The whole thing is so precious, with the big siblings looking out for the little ones and doing their best to keep them comfortable.
So what did we need protection from?
“muted to protect your ears from john [legend] and i making extremely annoying animal noises ❤️🤍💙,” Teigen captioned her post.
Oh god, we know those animal noises all too well. It’s the sound of parents desperately trying to get all kids to look in the same direction and smile at the same time. They are desperate, pleading sounds that we’ve all made. Honestly, we would keep watching the video even if it wasn’t muted, but as someone who hates hearing recordings of her voice when it’s “normal,” the thought of other people hearing my “annoying, animalistic” voice is a nightmare.
Love From Followers
Followers felt the same way we did, giving Teigen nearly 400 thousand likes in an hour and saying her kids are “so flipping cute.”
“They’re beautiful!! What a big change for your older two and I bet they are taking it in stride bc they have a family and support system that loves them deeply! ❤️❤️” “Ahh gorgeous family!! ❤️”
Fans also noticed how wholesome yet worried Miles looked, and we’re so glad we weren’t the only ones. “Miles is rethinking his entire life😂.” “Luna is having the best moment of her life, Miles is fighting for his life 😂 they are all beautiful though!😍”
Surprise!
If you haven’t been following along, you might be trying to figure out some math right about now. A 5-month-old and a 2-week-old? Teigen and Legend shocked the world in June when they welcomed their son Wren via surrogate.
The couple met with a surrogacy agency in 2021 after losing their son Jack in Oct. 2020. The Cravings author then decided she wanted to try carrying a pregnancy one more time and went through IVF again. After getting pregnant with Esti, she and Legend decided they still wanted to continue with the surrogacy process and formed a special bond with their surrogate, Alexandra, during the process.
Happiest Mama Bear
When the new mom of four isn’t making animalistic sounds with her husband, she is screaming from the rooftops (metaphorically…as far as we know) about how happy she is. Earlier this week, she shared a carousel with solo pics of each of her children, and she had the sweetest caption: “4 people I made (with lots of help from other people lol) I love them so much i could explode into 1 million pieces,” she wrote. The comments were then flooded with heart eye emojis from actress Mandy Moore, media personality Paris Hilton, and followers who are just thrilled for the Teigen-Legend family.
Comedian Mindy Kaling was quick to correct Teigen, hilariously reminding her she made a fifth person. “You kind of made John too. Total loser before he met you.”
