John Legend explains meaning behind son’s name

It makes sense that John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigen chose musical names for their children, Luna Simone and son Miles Theodore.

“Every name we give to our kids will have a bit of musical history to it,” Legend told E! News Sunday at the Billboard Music Awards.

“So Miles, of course, is the same name as the great Miles Davis,” the 39-year-old Oscar and Grammy winner added. “And Chrissy really liked the name Theodore, so we put it all together and got Miles Theodore Stephens. When he came out and we hung out with him for a little, we were like, ‘He looks like a Miles.’”

While Legend, 39, was out working the red carpet and performing at the ceremony, which saw Janet Jackson receive the icon award, Teigen, 32, was home cooking dinner and handling two kids.

The supermodel poked fun at Legend on Twitter, writing, “Wow didn’t u just have a baby John smh go take care of it!!!!!! disgusting.”

Teigen hasn’t shied away from the ups and downs of motherhood. On Sunday night, she posted a topless snapshot while holding little Miles.

“If you haven’t seen @AliWong’s new Netflix special, you are bad at picking Netflix specials #AsianPearUnderwear,” she captioned the image.

She previously said on Twitter things are better this time around.

“I can confirm postpartum life is 90% better when you don’t rip to your butthole. Baby boy: 1 point. Luna: 0,” she quipped.
