Fans are absolutely in love with the latest picture that Chrissy Teigen shared of her newborn baby!
Teigen and her husband, John Legend — real name John Roger Stephens — welcomed their third child, a girl named Esti Maxine, last week after nearly three years of IVF treatments and a stillbirth. Since then, the excited new mom has flooded her social media pages and followers with updates and photos from her after-birth experience and recovery.
Chrissy Teigen's Newest Post Of Esti Maxine Elicits Outpour Of Affection From Her Supporters
Being a new mother is no easy feat, especially after having a stillbirth at 20 weeks of pregnancy — which was Teigen and Legend's story in 2020. In fact, the heartbroken parents had named the baby they lost - a son, Jack, in the wake of his demise.
Now, years later, the couple is surrounded by love and three children, including their older daughter and son, Luna Simone and Miles Theodore. Teigen's excitement at the latest development was palpable in the picture she shared showing Esti's face.
The adorable tot appeared blissful and unaware as she rested her head on her own arm while her mother cradled her. Esti is wrapped up in a gray blanket as the 37-year-old wrote in the caption, "look at u out here lookin like a baby."
The image instantly conjured the observational skills of her 40.5 followers, who talked about what they noticed on the tot's forehead in the comments section. "She has an ANGEL on her forehead 👼," one fan noted, and another commented, "She has a star on her forehead. Esti🌟."
A third fan claimed it looked like Esti had a butterfly imprint on her forehead, and a fourth person exclaimed, "She has the stork's kiss! 🥰💗🥰." A fifth commenter, who is probably a believer in superstitions, lauded:
"She is beautiful! Why do I see a faint shadow or Mark on her forehead that looks like an angel?! 😇👼 please don't say its just me! Her big brother Jack is looking over her xx."

Teigen's comment section looked different after sharing the news of Esti's arrival. At the time, the supermodel had posted a snap of Luna and Theodore looking lovingly at their new sibling, who was wrapped up in their arms. The cookbook author enthusiastically wrote in the 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."
Amid the outpour of love and congratulatory messages, The Blast observed that some people had expressed concern over the baby girl's name — which means "star." One follower pointed out that "Esti is [a] bad word in French," and a second reiterated, "omg « esti » is a curse word in french."
A third person asserted that "all of Quebec just let out a collective snort" when they learned of the name that Legend and Teigen chose for their third child. A fourth onlooker wondered why the "whole of Quebec under Chrissy Teigen and John Legend ig posts calling their daughter all types of esti because her name is Esti."
A bilingual person added, "I guess nobody told @chrissyteigen that her daughter's name sounds the same as the French Canadian swear word "Hostie," which is the wafer given at communion."
The show of concern comes after Teigen told fans about her tiredness as an expectant mom. As reported by The Blast, the former "FABLife" panelist delivered a message asking her then-unborn child to come out of her body before her expected due date.
For this task, the former "Bring the Funny" judge uploaded footage that featured her in nothing but a mix-match two-piece bikini that highlighted her well-rounded midsection.
Teigen was facing a mirror — with another mirror at her back — in an undisclosed location. As she filmed herself, the "Sync Battle" alum caressed her baby bump with a serious expression on her face. Across the video, the "Cravings" author pleaded, "Please drop."
