In the sweet ‘gram, baby boy Miles is seen feeding himself with a spoon, which Teigen captioned: “baby bear is eating!” Her almost 21 million followers were quick to point out that the little one bore an uncanny resemblance to his father, like a teeny, tiny doppelgänger. Fans of the couple weren’t the only ones blown away by Miles’ being John’s spitting image either; their celebrity friends had[ plenty to say](https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYK2%5FsB-gh/?taken-by=commentsbycelebs) about the family resemblance. Late night host Trevor Noah quipped that it looked like “you face swapped John onto a baby!” while singer Lauren Jauregui cracked that “At least there’ll never be a tabloid headline questioning the father.” See John and Miles’ twinning moment for yourself below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5435869/john-legends-baby-boy-is-basically-his-tiny-doppelganger/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5435869/john-legends-baby-boy-is-basically-his-tiny-doppelganger/"},"headline":"John Legend's Baby Boy Is Basically His Tiny Doppelgänger","datePublished":"2018-10-26T14:42:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:55:41.042Z","description":"The resemblance is uncanny","url":"https://time.com/5435869/john-legends-baby-boy-is-basically-his-tiny-doppelganger/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt53805174565ec288/69893d8886f68ea3c36ea847/john-legend-baby-boy-chrissy-teigen-instagram.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt53805174565ec288/69893d8886f68ea3c36ea847/john-legend-baby-boy-chrissy-teigen-instagram.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Florida Rights Restoration Coalition Get Out The Vote Kick-Off Event","caption":"Florida Rights Restoration Coalition Get Out The Vote Kick-Off Event","creditText":"Gerardo Mora—Getty Images","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/5435869/john-legends-baby-boy-is-basically-his-tiny-doppelganger/","name":"John Legend's Baby Boy Is Basically His Tiny Doppelgänger"}}]}] ```
