John Legend is reflecting on a joyful start to 2026 after sharing a series of warm family photos from a recent New Year vacation. The Grammy-winning artist posted the images on Instagram on Monday, January 5, offering fans a rare look at quality time spent with his wife and children. Legend, 47, captioned the post, “A beautiful weekend with my everythings,” summing up the relaxed and intimate tone of the family getaway. The photos feature his wife, Chrissy Teigen, and their four children—Luna, 9, Miles, 7, and twins Esti and Wren, both 2.
Beach days, sailing, and outdoor adventures
The vacation appeared to include a mix of beachside relaxation and outdoor activities. In one image, Legend and Teigen sit together on steps with their children, while Legend cradles their youngest son, Wren. Other photos show the singer sailing on a boat with Luna and Miles under clear blue skies, with mountains visible in the background.
Additional snapshots capture sweet, candid moments—Legend hugging Luna on the boat, posing with Miles, and watching as the siblings ride horses together along the beach. The relaxed images highlighted a family-focused break away from the spotlight. The post concluded with tender photos of Esti and Wren walking together on the sand, emphasizing the quieter, everyday moments of parenting that resonated strongly with fans.
A busy holiday season for the Legend-Teigen family
The New Year vacation followed an already active holiday period for the family. Just days earlier, Legend shared photos from their Christmas trip to New York City, where they celebrated the holidays and his birthday.
“We had a beautiful family Christmas week in New York,” Legend wrote in a December 29 Instagram caption. He reflected on the city’s significance to his early relationship with Teigen and noted how special it was to experience the festive season there with their children.
New York memories and a birthday celebration
While in New York, the family visited iconic locations, including Rockefeller Center, where they posed in front of the famous Christmas tree. Other photos showed the children enjoying snowy streets and Central Park, creating classic holiday memories. Legend also celebrated his 47th birthday during the trip. To mark the occasion, the family visited the Sloomoo Institute, an interactive slime experience. Teigen later shared a playful video of the family wearing hooded cover-ups as blue slime poured over them, adding a lighthearted end to their stay.
Balancing fame and family
Known for chart-topping hits like “All of Me,” Legend continues to balance a demanding career with hands-on parenting. His latest posts reflect a deliberate focus on family, offering fans a glimpse into a more personal side of the award-winning musician. As 2026 begins, Legend’s message is clear: amid tours, projects, and public life, family remains at the center of everything.
