The singer shared a video of himself holding daughter Esti before staring down the camera in an Instagram video jokingly explaining why he made his new children's album, 'Favorite Dream'—and wife Chrissy Teigen can't even.

Chrissy Teigen jokingly threatened to leave John Legend after seeing his "dad mode" video on Instagram.

Legend, who shares daughters Luna, 8, and Esti, 19 months, and sons Miles, 6, and Wren, 14 months, with Teigen, shared a reel on the social media platform, giving a hilarious reason as to why he created his children's album Favorite Dream.


In his video, the "All of Me" singer picked up daughter Esti, gave her a kiss on the cheek and then gave the camera a glare best described as "Blue Steel."

He added text that read:

"Recorded an entire album for my baby girl so she won't be impressed by your son playing a G chord on guitar."

In the caption, Legend wrote:

"Dad mode activated"

You can see below.

Viewers were quite entertained by the reel.

Teigen, however, was seemingly embarrassed, joking in the comments:

"u really did this trend oh my god."
"I’m leaving."
"u can have custody"

But Legend had the last laugh, responding to his wife's comment:

While we always appreciate a good joke, the truth is Legend's family was the inspiration behind his children's album.

On the day the album was released, the singer took to Instagram to celebrate the moment, writing:

"It’s finally release day for My Favorite Dream! This album has been a true labor of love."
"It’s completely inspired by my wife and our babies, the family tree we’re all a part of and are continuing to grow."
"I want our babies AND yours to find joy and inspiration and comfort from this music. I hope it helps them fall in love with music and helps them cope with all the worries and challenges they may have."
"I hope the spirit of LOVE at the center of the album is contagious and palpable. And, when it’s time, I hope it helps them FALL ASLEEP (please!) and dream all their favorite dreams."

Too sweet.

Newsom Bluntly Fact-Checks DeSantis After He Blames Biden For 'Shortchanging' Florida In Last Census

After Florida Governor Ron DeSantis told Fox News that former President Joe Biden "shortchanged" his state in the 2020 census, California Governor Gavin Newsom bluntly—and awkwardly—fact-checked him.

A few days ago, DeSantis "announced his support for an update to the 2020 Decennial Census, which could potentially yield additional congressional seats for Florida," per an official press release. His announcement was a response to a redistricting effort in California, which itself is a response to GOP-led gerrymandering in Texas backed by President Donald Trump.
