Audience members were quick to jump on social media to relay the wonderful news to fans, who’ve been waiting for updates on Chrissy’s pregnancy, which she announced back in August.
"@johnlegend just told us he had a baby this morning," one shared, while another wrote, "A true professional – yes, his wife had their baby that morning and he still fulfilled this engagement."
The birth comes after the couple experienced the heartbreaking pregnancy loss of their baby boy Jack in October 2020.
Chrissy and John are also parents to a daughter Luna, 6, and son Miles, 4.
In a 2022 interview with PEOPLE, John said their growing family was "all excited" after their immense grief.
"You know, my kids are old enough to really be aware of what's happening, so they're really anticipating having a new sibling in their lives. And I think they'll be good at being a big sister and big brother," he said, while Chrissy told the same publication the couple turned to IVF to grow their brood, just like their previous pregnancies, and their kids were involved in the process from the get-go."
She 37-year-old said: "Since we did IVF, we knew probably nine days after we did the transfer that it had worked and we were pregnant. I told them very, very early."
"They knew that I was going in for the transfer. That we were going to go in and put this egg inside Mummy's belly. So they knew from the very, very beginning, and they knew there was a chance it might not work because that's happened before," she explained.
"They've been excited for a long time," the model and author added. "I feel like this is going to be the longest pregnancy to them because they've known since the day. But they've been really very excited."
