Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have just welcomed their second child

While it may feel like every second celebrity couple is breaking up, it seems like everyone else is giving birth to a new generation of #blessed celebrity bébés. The three Kardashian-Jenner sisters have all had their daughters, Miranda Kerr and The Rock's wife recently gave birth, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also welcomed their little heir last month.

And now, FINALLY, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have introduced the newest member of the family into the world. And it was about time – one fan tweeted to the model last week saying "You’ve been pregnant for 3 years i swear," to which Chrissy replied, "It feels worse for me because with IVF you know *so* early. I mean I knew I was pregnant at 11 days in. Crazy."

But finally, the second little Legend has arrived, and it's a boy. Chrissy announced the news in the most Chrissy Teigen fashion – via Twitter of course. The 32-year-old model announced the news with a simple: "Somebody’s herrrrrrre! ????".

It's very exciting news, and no doubt the boy will be just as adorable as two-year-old Luna. His name hasn't yet been announced, maybe due to the fact that Chrissy admitted she and John were having trouble choosing one.

"Boy names are really tough. I don’t even think he will have a middle name because we can’t even think of a first name," she said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. One fan speculated it would be either Yanny or Laurel, given that the viral audio poll went absolutely nuts on the internet on the same day that Chrissy went into labor.

But I think we can rule either of those names out entirely by the looks of this tweet...

Chrissy announced the news that she was pregnant with her second child back in November with a video of Luna pointing to Chrissy's stomach and saying "baby".

Chrissy also went through with IVF for her pregnancy with Luna, due to complications which meant she couldn't conceive the "old-fashioned" way. She's always been outspoken about the struggles as well as opportunities of IVF, and has helped demystify the process, and shut down ignorant trolls criticizing her decision in the process.

"The number of embryos we have left is not matching the number of people I want at my dinner table, so I'll have to do it again," she told People, suggesting she wanted more than one child. "I wish I had frozen my eggs earlier. We have a few more on ice. Who knows what will work?"

Even before baby number two was born, Chrissy told Us Weekly that she and John are already talking about having a third. "I think I do want to have another baby after this, and then get hot," Teigen joked. While Teigen has always had a healthy lifestyle (she's writing her second cookbook right now), she noted that she's "not really" focusing on getting back into shape yet.

"I just want to go babies, back to back to back, but then I think maybe I want to have my 30s, really live in my 30s and not just be pregnant throughout them."

Congratulations to Chrissy and John both!
