John Legend says Chrissy Teigen 'wants more kids' amid 'caution' over new pregnancy

John Legend has said his wife Chrissy Teigen wants more children, after the couple said they have "cautious optimism" about their new pregnancy.

The 43-year-old singer and his model wife, 36, lost their son Jack two years ago after making the "difficult decision" to terminate the pregnancy at 20 weeks when they learnt both Chrissy and Jack would likely not survive a full pregnancy.

In August, Chrissy shared the news that she was pregnant again. The couple also share six-year-old Luna and four-year-old Miles.

The All of Me singer recently talked about the benefits of having more children and gushed over his current kids.

"Chrissy, I think, wants more. I'm one of four, so I'm cool with it.

"I was like, you know, once you get into that zone it's a lot of folks - especially when you're travelling, [it] gets difficult," he said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

Despite this, John noted the benefits of having multiple children.

He added: "They have each other, you know. Luna and Miles will be older siblings now and there's enough of a gap to where we don't have to micromanage their every moment."

Elsewhere in the interview, the musician called Luna "smart and mature" and said they feel lucky she is their first child.

John recently gave an update on Chrissy's pregnancy journey and admitted they are nervous.

"Whenever you lose a pregnancy it is always cautious optimism when you are pregnant again, because you never know what could happen and you have experienced that tragedy of losing one.

"Your optimism is a little bit tempered by that," he said during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.

He added: "But everything has been great so far and we are really excited.

Chrissy has spoken candidly about the family's devastating loss and how she had to have an abortion.

"Let's just call it what it was: It was an abortion," she said to THR.

"An abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance. And to be honest, I never, ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago."

She had long considered Jack's death a miscarriage, but has bravely offered more details in the wake of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe V. Wade, which protected the right to abortion in America.
