John Legend and Chrissy Teigen announce with a controversial photo that they have been parents again by surrogacy

The debate on surrogacy or surrogacy has been reopened in our country with Ana Obregonwhile in the United States, where it is legal, they have done it John Legend y Chrissy Teigen after announcing that they have been parents for the fourth time through said practice.

The new member of the family was born on June 19 and has been called Wren Alexander Stephens. On her social networks, the 37-year-old model has told in detail how she decided to become a mother again, but without being the one to get pregnant: “Since I can remember, I have always wanted to have four children.”

In 2021, an agency proposed surrogacy and when they met Alexandra, the surrogate mother, “everything fell into place”. “All our wishes and dreams coincided. I wanted to be their friend, I wanted our children to play, I wanted us to have dinner together, I wanted to lay my head on their belly and be able to feel the hiccups and kicks. I wanted them to be in our lives,” she explains.

The embryo transfer didn’t work until the second attempt. A “physical” and “mental” effort from Alexandra that Chrissy appreciates: “She is the most incredible, loving and compassionate surrogate woman we could imagine.” In fact, at that time the couple decided that the child would carry the middle name Alexander in honor of his surrogate mother. “We want to thank you for this gift, Alexandra. And we are very happy to tell the world that it is here, with a name that will always connect with you.”

But the gesture has not been well received among his followers. Many claim that it is enough to “buy her belly” and “have made her go through what she went through just for the ‘dream of having four children’.” In addition, the photo in which Teigen poses with the baby in the hospital “as if she was the one who gave birth” has also generated a lot of controversy.

In the middle of the surrogate pregnancy process, the writer also had her third offspring, Estiafter having suffered a traumatic miscarriage in 2020. Now, they are a large family together Luna Simone Stephens y Miles Theodore Stephens, 7 and 5 years old respectively.
