Chrissy Teigen and John Legend had a surprise announcement for the world on Wednesday: They had welcomed a brand new baby boy via surrogate.
Teigen posted a heartfelt message to Instagram, in which she explained that she'd always wanted four children, and went into detail about hers and her husband's surrogacy journey with a woman named Alexandra.
Thanks to Alexandra, the famous spouses added baby Wren Alexander Stephens to their family, just months after Teigen gave birth to a little girl named Esti, after undergoing IVF.
Teigen also shared a photo of herself kissing Alexandra's pregnant belly, a photo of herself with Legend and Wren, and a close-up photo of Wren with his adorable hair all spiky.
