We’re both very laid back, calm, able to, you know, whenever life gets hard, we’re able to figure it out, and not get too overly raw emotionally,” says the All of Me singer, adding that his father has helped him become a better dad to his children. Legend shares children: Luna Simone, Miles Theodore, Esti Maxine, and Wren Alexander, whom he shares with his wife on socialite Chrissy Teigan.
Further in the conversation, the singer revealed that his father had been a single dad for a while- and bore the dedication that shaped how he looks at fatherhood now. “And just seeing the dedication he had to our family, seeing the creativity he had for our family, just kindness and love and just great example of integrity and character that he always set for us,” Legend gushed about his father.
