Esti Maxine Stephens, the singer’s third child with wife Chrissy Teigen, was born on January 13. The 2-week-old daughter of John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, is named in remembrance of numerous family members he explained.
Legend said, “Once Chrissy told me the idea, I was like, ‘Oh, my great-grandmother’s name was Esther.”
He added, “We already wanted to name her middle name Maxine in honour of my grandma, whose middle name was Maxine. So, it’s a lot of my family in the name.”
Early this month, roughly a week after the couple welcomed their newborn, the singer, and Teigen, revealed the name of their baby girl.
