    This is too much.

    It was announced last week that Hollywood golden couple Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have welcomed their second child, a baby boy.

    Taking to social media, the new mum shared her exciting news with the world, tweeting ‘Somebody’s herrrrrre!’ alongside some baby bottle emojis.

    This weekend however, the couple took to social media again, this time to share their newborn son’s name and to give us a glimpse at the newborn.

    Spoiler alert: Everything about this baby is adorable.

    ‘Hello, world! This is Miles Theodore Stephens,’ read Chrissy Teigen’s Instagram, alongside a gorgeous photo of the newborn. ‘We are drowning in his little peeps and nuzzles. Our household feels overwhelmed with love. Thank you for all your well wishes!’

    ‘We named our first daughter Luna Simone Stephens - every name we give to our kids I think will have a little bit of musical history to it,’ announced John Legend at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. ‘So Miles is, of course, the same name as the great Miles Davis.’

    He continued: ‘Chrissy really liked the name Theodore, so we put it all together as Miles Theodore Stephens. When he came out and we hung with him for a little while we were like, “Yeah, he looks like a Miles.”’

    The couple have been very open with their struggles to conceive in the past so it’s hardly surprising that the internet is celebrating worldwide.

    The 32-year-old model broke the news that she was expecting a second baby back in November, using her two-year-old daughter Luna to break the news.

    The video in question involved Luna pointing at Chrissy Teigen’s tummy and screaming, ‘baby!’, something that went on to rake in over 1.5 million likes.

    ‘She is so excited,’ Chrissy explained of Luna’s excitement back in January in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. ’It’s hard though, because she’s definitely jealous of John and I. She’s so protective of John, and when we kiss, she like, looks [up] from no matter where she is.’

    ‘It’s always exciting, because you never know what they’re going to be like,’ John explained ahead of the birth to Entertainment Tonight back in April. ‘You’re just excited that another product of your relationship and your love is going to be out there in front of you.’

    ‘We’re just excited to see how we’re going to be as parents of two, and how Luna is going to be as a big sister. It’s going to be really exciting and fun.’

    Congratulations again to Chrissy and John!
