Following the announcement of the birth of her third child, Chrissy Teigen has now shared the adorable name as well as a snapshot of her new daughter.

Chrissy and her husband John Legend, 44, also share a daughter Luna, six, and son Miles, four, who both appeared to be over the moon with their little sister.

Taking to Instagram, the 37-year-old posted a photo of her baby girl with her siblings, telling fans she named the little one Esti Maxine Stephens.

"She’s here! Esti Maxine Stephens - the house is bustling and our family could not be happier," she wrote.

"Daddy sheds nightly tears of joy seeing Luna and Miles so full of love, and I am learning you still need diapers with a c-section!?", she continued.

To conclude, she thanked her fans for all the support as the family celebrates this special occasion: "We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes - we feel it all!"

Back in August, Chrissy took to Instagram to announce that she and John were expecting another child following a previous heartbreaking miscarriage.

"The last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again. 1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as u can see!) we have another on the way," she captioned a Stories post of her growing bump.

"Every appointment I've said to myself, 'ok if it's healthy today I'll announce' but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I'm just too nervous still.

"I don't think I'll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I'm feeling hopeful and amazing," before concluding: "Ok phew it's been very hard keeping this in for so long!"

Chrissy's cautiousness comes as no surprise as she and her family experienced a devastating loss just two years ago when she was pregnant with her son Jack.

Unfortunately, their little one passed away following pregnancy complications.

However, earlier this year Chrissy announced that she was starting IVF treatment again, in the hopes that her little family of four would become one person bigger.

Speaking to PEOPLE about how excited their children were at the prospect of having a new sibling, John said: "We're all excited, and, you know, my kids are old enough to really be aware of what's happening, so they're really anticipating having a new sibling in their lives. And I think they'll be good at being a big sister and big brother."

Chrissy then added: "Since we did IVF, we knew probably nine days after we did the transfer that it had worked and we were pregnant. I told them very, very early. They knew that I was going in for the transfer, that we were going to go in and put this egg inside Mommy's belly. So they knew from the very, very beginning, and they knew there was a chance it might not work because that's happened before."

We're happy that everything worked out best for the family! Congratulations!

Chrissy Teigen has announced that she and her husband John Legend are expecting their rainbow baby.

The joyful news comes nearly two years after the loss of the couple's third child, Jack.

In an Instagram post shared on Wednesday (August 3), the 36-year-old television personality revealed that joy had once again filled their family's "home and hearts".

Showing off her growing bump in two pics, Teigen wrote: "the last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again. 1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as u can see!) we have another on the way."

Teigen had revealed back in February that she was once again undergoing IVF treatments in hopes of expanding their family.

Continuing her announcement, the former model added: "Every appointment I’ve said to myself, 'ok if it’s healthy today I’ll announce' but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I’m just too nervous still. I don’t think I’ll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I’m feeling hopeful and amazing."

Teigen ended the post by joking: "Ok phew it’s been very hard keeping this in for so long!"

Legend, 43, also shared one of Teigen's pictures to his Instagram page, captioning the post with a number of heart emojis.

Teigen and Legend are also parents to six-year-old daughter Luna and four-year-old son Miles.

The couple revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage in October 2020, after telling her fans that she has been hospitalized after experiencing heavy bleeding.

In a statement posted to their social media accounts the day after her admission, the pair wrote broke the tragic news that they had lost their son, Jack, writing: "We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we've never felt before."

Their statement continued: "We never decide on our babies' names until the last possible moment after they're born, just before we leave the hospital. But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack.

"So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.

"To our Jack - I'm so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn't give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you."

After once again starting IVF treatment earlier this year, Teigen asked her followers to stop asking if she was once again pregnant - highlighting the hurt the question can have for many families.

"I humbly beg you to stop asking if I'm pregnant because while I know it's said with excited, good intentions, it just kind of sucks to hear because I am the opposite of pregnant," she wrote.

"But also like please stop asking people, anyone, if they're pregnant," she added, before promising her followers that should she get pregnant, she will "be the one to tell you."

Congratulations to the whole family!

In a revelation that has warmed the hearts of their fans, Hollywood's beloved couple, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, shared the heartfelt backstory of their surprise fourth baby's name.

The news broke out on Instagram when Teigen, the 37-year-old model and television personality, shared a series of ten gripping photos that illustrated the journey of her latest pregnancy, rounded off with three family snaps.

In an intimate confession to her 42.2 million Instagram followers, Teigen said, "For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted four children." The post touched on a childhood anecdote and took a candid dive into how Teigen and Legend grappled with the tragic loss of their son due to complications.

Teigen wrote, "After losing Jack, I didn't think I'd be able to carry any more babies on my own." With striking honesty, she added, "To be honest, I've personally blocked out a lot of my mindset during that time, but one clear memory is being surrounded by people who wanted to make sure I wouldn't go through that pain and loss again."

In 2021, the couple reached out to a surrogacy agency, as Teigen informed her fans, adding, "With our first correspondence inquiring about perhaps having two tandem surrogates, to each bring us a healthy baby boy or girl. Twins, kinda?!" However, Teigen later made the decision that she wanted "to try to carry just one more time."

Undeterred by the possibility of failure, Teigen assured her followers, "If it doesn't work, we will be okay. We've already seen the worst." She vowed to remain strong no matter the outcome, reflecting, "I remember saying I just couldn't go on wondering my whole life if I should have tried again."

The celeb couple restarted the IVF process and Teigen was overjoyed to discover they was expecting their little girl, Esti. Around the same time, they found their perfect surrogate, Alexandra. Describing her, Teigen remarked, "I knew she was a perfect match for us the moment we spoke to her. All our wishes and dreams aligned."

Teigen admired Alexandra's courage as she gave birth just minutes before midnight on June 19. She expressed her gratitude for the "incredible gift" of surrogacy, revealing their tribute to her in the newborn's name: "We are so happy to tell the world he is here, with a name forever connected to you, Wren Alexander Stephens."

The post ended with Teigen announcing, "Our hearts, and our home, are officially full. And to our Jack, we know both their angel kisses are from you," thus filling their followers' hearts with love and joy.

Chrissy Teigen and husband John Legend are honoring their late son, one year after losing him.

The former model, 35, tragically lost her baby son Jack back in 2020 and documented the agonizing experience in a set of devastating pictures on social media.

A whole year has now passed since the traumatizing day, and Chrissy honored the "son we almost had" in a touching caption penned from the heart.

Sharing a photo of herself crying in a hospital bed as her husband held her, Chrissy wrote: "And to the son we almost had. A year ago you gave me the greatest pain I could ever imagine to show me I could survive anything, even if I didn't want to.

"I didn't get to take care of you but you came and went to get me to love myself and take care of myself because our bodies are precious and life is a miracle. They told me it would get easier but yeah, that hasn't started yet. Mom and dad love you forever."

Chrissy then took to her Instagram Story, writing: " I didn't sleep at all last night, as John can attest. I was up sick, sobbing, as my phone popped up the memory of being in the hospital exactly 1 year ago, losing our baby.

"So maybe I'm a little sensitive today, so f*** off."

The tribute, posted on National Sons Day, comes almost one year after the pair announced that they suffered the loss of their pregnancy with Jack.

Teigen, who suffers from endometriosis, was previously put on bed rest and eventually hospitalized due to excessive bleeding.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2013, also share daughter Luna, five, and son Miles, three, both of whom they conceived via IVF.

Last month, Chrissy admitted that she still hasn't "fully processed" the devastating loss.

Sharing an image of herself with husband John Legend having dinner at a restaurant called Frank in New York City, Teigen shared just how she's feeling.

In a caption addressed to her 35 million followers, the former model wrote that she and her singer husband have been dining at the restaurant for over 13 years and that they used to live just around the corner in NYC's East Village.

Their most recent visit put her in a reflective mood, as she wrote: "Thinking about all the stuff I’ve done and been through not just this year but in my life.

"It kind of started when I was thinking of my book caption and typed out: 'my third baby is here!!', as in cookbook, then realized my third baby will never be here.

"Then I realized I threw myself into the book to not think of the real, actual third baby. I don't really feel like I fully processed Jack and now that I don't have the alcohol to numb it away, things are just…there, waiting to be acknowledged. [sic]"

Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram yesterday to share the devastating news that she and her husband John Legend had lost their unborn child, whom they had named Jack.

Teigen was believed to be halfway along in her pregnancy.

The 34-year-old, who has two other children with Legend - four-year-old Luna, and two-year-old Miles - had been updating her 31.5 million followers on the progress of her pregnancy, which became more complicated in recent weeks.

Alongside several black-and-white candid photos - which showed the aftermath of her miscarriage in an incredibly raw manner; one of her in tears, her head bowed on a hospital bed, and another of her holding the child in a bundle of blankets, with Legend's face resting on her shoulder - Teigen wrote:

"We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before. We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough."

Teigen surely knew what was going to happen next.

The model and TV personality has long been an outspoken user of Twitter, where she has previously shared many intimate insights into her family life, as well as speaking brazenly about politics (in a particularly scathing manner about the Trump Administration).

That being said, she is no stranger to criticism and internet trolling.

So amidst the condolences and support she and Legend received from celebrities and her followers, Teigen was subjected to people who questioned her outlet for grief.

Why did she choose to share something so personal and intimate? Many people accused her of seeking attention, while others criticized how she handled her pregnancy to begin with.

Others even questioned whether she chose to go to the hospital too late.

And, of course, there were comments regarding why she decided to "pose" for photos in the wake of her miscarriage.

Teigen has never shied away from sharing her vulnerabilities with the world; she chronicled the process of getting her breast implants removed, has spoken candidly about the realities of being a working mother, and now about pregnancy loss, in all of its raw pain.

By doing so, Teigen has given a voice - at her own expense - to something that is very common, but rarely given a public platform.

Per the NHS, miscarriages are much more common than most people realize.

The website details that amongst women who are confirmed to be pregnant, it is estimated that around one in eight pregnancies will end in miscarriage. And 1% - approximately 24,000 pregnancies each year - end after 20 weeks in stillbirth.

Teigen's refusal to grieve silently (she later tweeted: "Driving home from the hospital with no baby. How can this be real") will undoubtedly go a long way to comfort a legion of women and families who have experienced the same thing, but found it difficult to speak about.

Miscarriages are often shrouded in secrecy, partly due to the language of "failure" that surrounds conception, and the lack thereof, but also due to the scale of pain suffered by those who have lost a child.

Women are expected to carry about their normal routines during and afterward; speaking about their experience, and the hope they had for their unborn child, will inevitably render outsiders uncomfortable, and is therefore stigmatized.

So, Teigen's honestly most likely came at great personal cost.

In fact, after Teigen shared her heartbreaking loss, actress Kate Beckinsale spoke out - not only to slam those attacking the model for "posing" for photographs or taking to social media when she "should be mourning" - but also to share that she has also gone through the pain of a miscarriage.

Beckinsale wrote:

"I’ve noticed people criticizing @chrissyteigen for sharing deeply intimate photos of the loss of her baby.

"As if there’s some protocol during [the] soul-scouring calamity that, if not observed, emboldens people who do not know her or her family to say how she should be handling the unimaginable."

The Underworld actress then opened up about how she herself lost a baby after 20 weeks of gestation, and how she was left emotionally devastated by the experience.

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CF1tJ8Egpd1/]]

"Years ago, I lost a baby at 20 weeks. I had managed to keep my pregnancy quiet and I absolutely collapsed inside and no one would have known," the 47-year-old star wrote.

"There is grief, shame and shock so often that come with an experience like this, plus the heartbreak of your body continuing, after the loss, to act as if it had a child to nurture," she added.

Beckinsale then explained: "Your milk comes in, with no one to feed. It can be the loneliest, most soul destroying period of time, particularly if you are not in the position of having an emotionally connected, supportive partner like Chrissy has."

She continued:

"I think it’s an honor to be allowed into another [person's] grief, especially with a subject like this which so often puts a woman into that hall of mirrors state of life continuing as if the world hasn’t, for you, come to a bloody and terrible halt."

Teigen refused to make her story or her pain palatable, which we are collectively expected to do. But nothing about losing a child is comfortable, and speaking about it should not lead to accusations of oversharing, rather we should praise the individual's strength and vulnerability.

October is Pregnancy Loss Awareness Month, and when we look at the photos of Chrissy Teigen, we must swallow the feeling of being uncomfortable in the face of such clear anguish.

The loss of a child is something that many women and families cannot just ignore, and neither should we.
