[Chrissy Teigen](http://people.com/tag/chrissy-teigen) and [John Legend](http://people.com/tag/john-legend) — who celebrated their [fourth wedding anniversary](http://people.com/music/john-legend-chrissy-teigen-celebrate-4th-wedding-anniversary/) on Sept. 14 — are expecting their second child, she shared on social media Tuesday, hilariously captioning the video, “It’s John’s!” “Luna, what’s in here?” Teigen can be heard saying in the background [of the clip](https://www.instagram.com/p/BbxZhF5l2gn/), with baby Luna pointing at her mom’s stomach and saying, “Baby!” Legend — who commented jokingly on his wife’s Tuesday post with, “Maury will have the final word on this” — spoke to PEOPLE Friday, revealing the couple were “working on” baby No. 2 and that “hopefully it will be soon.” As far as Luna’s big-sister capabilities? “I have no idea,” said the singer, adding, “She is very sweet and [she likes to share](http://people.com/style/chrissy-teigen-leaves-1000-tip-ohio-outback/), so hopefully that will translate.” The model mama-to-be opened up to [_E!

So we’ll see.” Teigen has been candid in the past about her and her musician husband’s [journey toward conception](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/09/29/chrissy-teigen-infertility-struggle-to-conceive-support/) with now-19-month-old Luna, revealing in February 2016 that the couple [chose to implant a female](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2016/02/24/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-picked-girl-embryo/) embryo during the [in vitro fertilization](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2016/02/24/chrissy-teigen-pregnant-more-ivf-big-family/) round that resulted in the pregnancy with their daughter. “The first little girl didn’t work, and then the second is Luna,” she told _InStyle_ for their [November cover story](http://www.instyle.com/celebrity/chrissy-teigen-november-cover), explaining that she and Legend started with 20 embryos, but that number was narrowed down to three after screening and based on what was “going [to be good for \[my\] body](http://people.com/bodies/chrissy-teigen-alcohol-drinking-too-much/).” The sex of the couple’s second child on the way is unconfirmed at this point, but a son wouldn’t be a surprise. In January, they spoke with [_Entertainment Tonight_](http://www.etonline.com/news/208797%5Fjustin%5Ftimberlake%5Fphotobombs%5Fjohn%5Flegend%5Fand%5Fchrissy%5Fteigen%5Fon%5Fpga%5Fred%5Fcarpet/) at the 28th Annual Producers Guild Awards, [where Teigen said](http://people.com/babies/sag-awards-chrissy-teigen-john-legend/) with a smile, “A little boy is next, for sure.” The [_Lip Sync Battle_](http://people.com/tag/lip-sync-battle)host, 31, later clarified her comments [on Twitter, writing](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/826147916515471361), “Since this is coming up again, I said our next baby would be a boy because that is the embryo we have left. A boy. So. Yeah.” The proud parents, whose baby girl has [joined them on the road](http://people.com/babies/john-legend-luna-aquarium/) for Legend’s _Darkness and Light_ Tour, have been open in the past about both the ups and downs of how having Luna has changed their lives. “Diapers on the bus, a crib on the bus — a long way from my bachelor days,” the soon-to-be father of two, 38, [told PEOPLE in April](http://people.com/babies/john-legend-chrissy-teigen-taking-luna-on-tour-bus/) with a laugh, adding that the [spouses’ time prioritization](http://people.com/food/chrissy-teigen-cookbook-john-legend-tour-memorial-day/) has shifted completely since they became a family of three. “There are some things that I would’ve said yes to before that I say no to now,” the [Tony, Grammy and Oscar winner](http://people.com/theater/tony-awards-chrissy-teigen-john-legend-red-carpet/) explained. “And there are some choices that I’ll make now that I wouldn’t have made before.” Meanwhile, model, television personality [and cookbook author](http://people.com/food/chrissy-teigen-postpartum-depression-postpone-second-cookbook/) Teigen has dealt with her fair [share of unwarranted criticism](http://people.com/babies/chrissy-teigen-shuts-down-mom-shamers/) from people on social media, which she has stood up against multiple times in the name of [supporting her fellow moms](http://people.com/babies/kristin-cavallari-instagram-chrissy-teigen-baby-celebrity-moms). In April, the star opened up about her [battle with postpartum depression](http://people.com/babies/john-legend-chrissy-teigen-postpartum-depression/) in a candid essay for [_Glamour_](http://www.glamour.com/story/chrissy-teigen-postpartum-depression), citing her [well-known goofy personality](http://people.com/babies/chrissy-teigen-daughter-luna-snapchats-after-revealing-postpartum-depression/) and divulging to her readers that the condition “does not discriminate.” “I have really good days and really bad days, and I don’t tend to talk [about the really bad days](http://people.com/babies/chrissy-teigen-postpartum-depression-battle/). But I would hate for people to think those days didn’t exist,” Teigen said in her _InStyle_ November cover-story interview, noting of her initial reaction to her experience, “I thought I was just being a selfish a–hole.” * **Reporting by MADISON ROSSI** _This_ [_article_](http://people.com/babies/chrissy-teigen-pregnant-john-legend-expecting-second-child/) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5034270/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-second-child/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5034270/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-second-child/"},"headline":"'It's John's!'
