Teigen met John Legend in 2007 while starring in his “Stereo” music video. They started dating soon after and got engaged in 2011. The couple married in Italy in 2013, the same year they teamed up on another music video, “All of Me.” They welcomed daughter Luna in 2016 and son Miles in 2018. Teigen lost her and Legend’s third child, a son they had planned to name Jack, in 2020. The pair’s rainbow baby, daughter Esti Maxine, was born in January 2023.
