Just as they did with their first child, daughter Luna Simone, the couple has given Miles Theodore Legend’s real last name, Stephens. “Hello, world! This is Miles Theodore Stephens – We are drowning in his little peeps and nuzzles,” she wrote on the Instagram post. “Our household feels overwhelmed with love. Thank you for all your well wishes!” Teigen announced she gave birth to Miles Theodore late on May 16, just a little over a week after declaring that she was completely “over” being pregnant. “Happy pregnant Chrissy is gone. meet OVER IT Chrissy,” she tweeted on May 9\. “Wanna hold my boy let’s do thisssssss.” Luckily for “OVER IT Chrissy,” Miles Theodore was ready to arrive earlier than his expected June due date. “Somebody’s herrrrrrre!” she tweeted along with baby bottle and high five smiley emojis following his birth. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/996984651842437127) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5281336/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-new-baby-name/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5281336/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-new-baby-name/"},"headline":"Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Just Announced the Name of Their New Baby Boy","datePublished":"2018-05-21T02:45:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:56.201Z","description":"The couple welcomed their second child late on May 16","url":"https://time.com/5281336/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-new-baby-name/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Chrissy Teigen","john legend"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb2107d914e6c71cd/698930a9e76ad20e73632085/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-new-baby.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb2107d914e6c71cd/698930a9e76ad20e73632085/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-new-baby.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Chrissy Teigen and John Legend attend City Harvest's 35th Anniversary Gala","caption":"Chrissy Teigen and John Legend attend City Harvest's 35th Anniversary Gala","creditText":"Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for City Harvest","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5281336/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-new-baby-name/","name":"Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Just Announced the Name of Their New Baby Boy"}}]}] ```
