Even Legend’s wife, author-model Chrissy Teigen, couldn’t handle the adorableness!

et ready for an instant mood-booster. Chrissy Teigen, author-model and wife to The Voice Coach John Legend, just shared the most adorable clip of her youngest daughter, Esti Maxine Stephens, running through her home in tiny sneakers. They even make a squeaking sound as the toddler moves, and appear to have unicorns on them. So cute!

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s baby girl Esti loves her squeaky shoes!

“NOOOOO I CANT TAKE IT I LOVE SQUEAK SHOESSSSSS,” wrote Teigen in the caption, summing up the feelings of anyone who watches the clip. It’s clear that Esti is a girl on the go, confidently making her way across the room without any help, a proud grin plastered across her face. At just 14 months old, she’s already got places to be!

Just a month prior, the toddler was still learning how to walk. “She’s walkin,” The Voice Coach wrote under a clip of his girl taking a few steps before (gracefully) falling down. And she was smiling the whole time.


Clearly, Esti is the giggler of the family. She threw her pacifier onto the ground from her high chair and let out a laugh, smiled wide on the swing set, and even smirked after destroying a vase right in front of her mother.

“My reflex time; with Luna I would’ve caught that in a second. This one? I just let it happen,” Teigen told The Voice alum Kelly Clarkson of the incident.

“Yeah. That’s having more than one kid,” said Clarkson. Teigen added, “The worst was how proud she was after. Usually they cry or something, [but] she’s our tough cookie.”

Following daughter Luna and son Miles, the third Stephens family baby arrived in January 2023, and her parents announced her arrival the 21st century way: On Instagram.

“On Friday, we welcomed Esti Maxine Stephens to our family, and our house is overflowing with love and joy. I’m in awe of Chrissy’s strength and resilience and I’m so thrilled to see how Luna and Miles embrace their baby sister. I’m so, so grateful, but that doesn’t seem like a big enough word…,” Legend wrote in his caption.

“She’s here! Esti Maxine Stephens – the house is bustling and our family could not be happier 💕 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!? We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes – we feel it all! X,” Teigen wrote on hers. How time has flown!
