John Legend says his kids were 'jealous' when Chrissy was pregnant with youngest

John Legend has teased that his eldest two children seemed "kind of jealous" whilst his wife Chrissy Teigen was pregnant last year, though he said things are different now.

The singer-songwriter, 44, and his wife Chrissy, 37 - who have been married since 2013 - welcomed another child together in January this year, who they have named Esti.

They were already parents to eldest daughter Luna, who turns seven next week, and her younger sibling Miles, four.

John will be seen speaking about his family on the latest episode of the Jonathan Ross Show, which will be broadcast over the weekend on ITV and its streaming platform.

Speaking about welcoming the new arrival earlier this year, John teased to host Jonathan Ross that his eldest kids Luna and Miles had seemed "jealous" during the pregnancy.

He says: "They seemed kind of jealous while mummy was pregnant … but since she's come out, they've been so good, competing to see who will be the best older sibling."

The Grammy Award winner also discusses celebrating his 10th wedding anniversary to wife Chrissy, with the occasion having coincided with the release of his song All of Me.

He says: "We're going to go back to where it all started, Lake Como, we're going to go back there. [It's] the 10th anniversary of All Of Me, too. The first time I sang it live was at our wedding."

His appearance on the ITV show comes after John recently released Legend (Solo Piano Version), which is a stripped down version of his self-titled eighth album from last year.

Discussing the newly-released project, the musician - who had his own residency in Las Vegas last year - comments: "This album was really inspired by me playing live."

John is a guest on the latest episode alongside Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas, comedian Lee Mack, actor Jeff Goldblum and comedian Jack Whitehall.

The Jonathan Ross Show continues on Saturday evening (April 8) on ITV and ITVX from 9.50pm. You can catch up on previous episodes through streaming platform ITVX.
