With unwavering strength and an overflow of pure joy and love, she bestowed upon us the most remarkable gift.”

She unveils the depths of her longing, revealing, “Since I was a little girl, I’ve always dreamt of having a family of four. From the days of cradling two glow worms and two cabbage patch dolls, my yearning for a larger brood has never wavered. Memories of playing in my pretend kitchen, cuddling up to watch Alf, and sharing equal kisses among my toys remind me of that eternal desire.”
After the heart-wrenching loss of their baby boy, Jack , in October 2020, Chrissy found the inspiration to embark on a profound fertility journey. “After enduring the pain of losing Jack, I believed that I couldn’t carry another child on my own,” she admits, reflecting on a time when memories were blurred, and emotions were shielded. However, surrounded by an unwavering support system, she felt the love and assurance that she wouldn’t have to endure such heartache again.
Thus, the couple embarked on a surrogacy process in 2021, initially considering the prospect of twins, eagerly anticipating the arrival of a healthy baby boy or girl. But as fate would have it, Chrissy bravely decided to give carrying a pregnancy another chance after seeking therapy and delving deep into their hearts.

With unwavering determination, Chrissy embarked again on the IVF process, the same process that blessed them with their beautiful children, Luna and Miles. And lo and behold, the universe blessed them once more, gracing them with the precious gift of baby Esti . Yet, their hearts yearned for more, and together with John Legend, Chrissy decided to move forward with the surrogacy process, leading them to meet an extraordinary soul, Alexandra Ryan, whose kindness and compassion knew no bounds.
“The moment we spoke to Alexandra, I knew she was a perfect match for us,” Chrissy shares, her voice radiating affectionately. “Our wishes and dreams intertwined seamlessly. I longed to be her friend, to witness our children play together, to share meals as a family, and to rest my head against her belly, feeling the gentle hiccups and kicks. I wanted her to be a part of our lives for as long as time would allow.”
Although their journey faced a hiccup when the first embryo didn’t survive, Alexandra underwent life-changing surgeries, eradicating scar tissue and paving the way for the Legend family to realize their dreams. With patience and unwavering hope, they waited, cherishing the precious moments of Chrissy’s pregnancy, easing into the comforting embrace of the second trimester. And as they embarked upon this voyage of love, a stunning revelation awaited them—Alexandra was carrying their little boy, their cherished bundle of joy.
In celebration, they indulged in hot pot, their growing bellies bringing their families together, blending as one over the past year.
Finally, with hearts bursting, Chrissy declares their family complete. “Our hearts and our home are officially brimming with love,” she exclaims, a radiant glow enveloping her words. And to their beloved Jack, they send a message of eternal connection, knowing that the tender kisses bestowed upon their newborn are a testament to his angelic presence.
“Thank you for choosing me ❤️ For making this whole experience so wonderful. For loving me and my family whole heartedly. It was truly an honor bringing perfect Wren into the world with you right by my side ❤️,” Alexandra Ryan wrote.
Indeed, a new baby has graced Hollywood, igniting a blaze of excitement and boundless love. Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s journey of hope and resilience has touched hearts far and wide, reminding us of the transformative power of love and the unwavering strength of the human spirit.
