Brace yourselves for the ultimate daddy-daughter duo, folks! John Legend and Chrissy Teigen never miss a beat when it comes to sharing those precious moments with their four adorable kids online.
Now, while some might clutch their pearls at the thought of posting their little ones for the world to see, this Hollywood power couple is all about letting us in on their behind-the-scenes magic.
But oh boy, did a particular photo stir the pot this year! Just before the Oscars, John Legend gave us an unexpected treat—a snap of himself and his 13-month-old daughter, Esti. And let’s just say, opinions were as divided as pineapple on pizza.
In the now Internet-famous photo, Legend and Esti are seen strutting towards the camera, holding hands, and wearing tops. Yes, you heard that right—tops only! Legend sported half of a tuxedo while the little fashionista Esti rocked a lacy pink dress.
The caption? Simply “Ready.” Ready for what, you ask? A debate of epic proportions, apparently!
Legend’s followers wasted no time chiming in. Some found it endearing, pointing out how John looked like he was ready for a Zoom call, “Must be ready for a zoom meeting!” they quipped.
But oh, the Internet wasn’t going to let him off that easy. Several others unleashed their inner critics, crying foul over what they perceived to be a pants-less blunder.
One riled-up follower commented, “John, I know you meant well with this pic. But what’s with showing the world you look like you have no underwear on? Come on, you’re a father! This is just not cute!!!”
Another chimed in, “It’s giving super cringe…”—a sentiment echoed by quite a few.
And let’s not forget the ever-so-colorful, “This is so distasteful and disgusting.”
“Why do people encourage this? It’s not funny, it’s weird,” another critic offered.
Legend, being the class act he is, took to Instagram again to clarify that, yes—he did have pants on at the Oscars. Crisis averted, friends.
But the picture begs the age-old question: sweet daddy-daughter moment or a step too far?
