In August 2023, Teigen shared insights about the complexities of raising four children. “For me, the hardest part is making sure the older ones feel loved and taken care of and just as special as the babies,” she remarked, highlighting the challenge many parents face in balancing attention among siblings.
Motivated by his family, Legend is set to release a children’s album titled My Favorite Dream. “I want our babies AND yours to find joy and inspiration and comfort from this music,” he expressed on Instagram.
