Why Mindy Kaling Says Chrissy Teigen’s Daughter Luna Makes Her ‘Feel Like a Cherished Elder’

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s oldest daughter, Luna, has a knack for making those around her feel special.

In an appreciation post for her daughter, Teigen called Luna, 8, “the most loving big sister.”

“Luna tuna appreciation post,” she wrote alongside a black-and-white image of Luna on Tuesday, January 21. “I love this photo. The most loving big sister our kids could ever imagine.”

“So funny, so smart, so quick, so kind, so empathetic, so good at art, always open to learning any and all recipes,” Teigen continued. “She is all the best parts of us in one little person.”

In the comments section, several others agreed with Teigen calling Luna “the sweetest, most thoughtful and most intelligent girl ever.”

“I love what you said at the end. It’s hard to believe there’s a little girl out there with the best parts of two of the best people. But here she is,” wrote agent Hannah Edwards.

Actress Mindy Kaling also had wonderful things to say about Luna, writing, “She always says ‘hi’ to me in the parking lot, making me feel like a cherished elder.”

“I want this to be my reality,” a response to Kaling’s comment read.

Luna is the oldest sister to Teigen’s and Legend’s three youngest kids: Miles, 6, Esti, 2, and Wren, 19 months.

In November 2024, alongside several photos of her family, Teigen wrote that her “house is alivvvve! Alphabets and counting, big kids being big and becoming funny little humans. It’s a lot but it’s perfect.”

Teigen told People in an interview from 2020 that Luna “definitely hates photos, paparazzi, anything. She does everything you see on my Instagram for a quarter or a Sour Patch Kid.”

It’s unclear whether the bribes remains the same nearly five years later.
