Everyone expected to see Chrissy Teigen alongside hubby John Legend on the 2023 Grammys red carpet, but she was visibly missing. Now, we know the real reason why she bailed and, well, it’s actually super sweet. Taking to Instagram ahead of the ceremony, the supermodel posted a photo of herself cuddling her baby girl, Esti Maxine Stephens, who was born just weeks ago. “[I] had a dress fitting, looked around and realized…. what the hell am I trying to prove here,” she explained. “I cannot get up lol.” The proud mama quickly received plenty of support from her followers. “Stay right there beautiful Mommy,” encouraged Rachel Zoe, while Beyoncé’s dance captain Ashley Everett gushed, “You’re right where you need to be.”

As for Legend, he was all for his wife’s decision, and her gorgeous makeup-free snap. “Just sitting there fine AF,” he commented. Even if that meant he was left flying solo to celebrate his three nominations for his work on DJ Khaled’s “GOD DID,” including one for Song of the Year. The EGOT winner also joined Khaled, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Fridayy on stage to close out the show with a live performance of the track. Meanwhile, Teigen returned to Instagram Stories later that night, per Page Six, to reassure folks she was cheering on her partner from afar. She also posted a snap of her and Legend on the 2022 Grammys red carpet and quipped, “Body lookin a liiiittle different today but worth it.”
