John Legend Shares Sweet Clip of Daughter Esti Saying ‘Dada’: ‘I Got Too Excited and Scared Her’

Legend's enthusiastic response to his 7-month-old daughter's milestone made the little one cry

John Legend’s daughter Esti Maxine has reached an adorable milestone.

The proud dad, 44, revealed his 7-month-old girl has started saying “Dada” in a sweet video posted on his Instagram Sunday.

In the cute clip, the Grammy Award-winning singer is heard asking his daughter, “What’s my name? What’s my name?” as she sits on a sofa making different noises.

The question makes Esti, who is wearing a gray patterned bib, long-sleeved white top and leggings, flash a big smile.

Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen then asks her daughter, “What’s daddy’s name? Dada?”

“Dada,” Esti replied, which caused Legend to shout out in excitement.

“Oh man,” said Teigen, 37, who was cradling their son Wren Alexander, 2 months, in her arms.

“We got it on tape!” said Legend. “Caught on tape baby, caught on tape,” he continued as he flipped the camera around to face him.

Unfortunately, Legend's enthusiasm scared little Esti, who then burst into tears. “She’s crying!” said Legend.

“DADA! Then I got too excited and scared her 😂🥹,” he captioned the video.

Legend and Teigen have just returned from a family vacation where they spent some quality time with their brood, which also includes daughter Luna Simone, 7, and Miles Theodore, 5. 

The actor shared a series of snapshots from the getaway on his Instagram with the caption, “Our first vacation as a family of six. So far, so great!”

In the first photo, Teigen is seen posing in a swimming pool in purple swimwear and holding Esti as Luna wraps her arm around her mom’s shoulder and smiles for the camera. Meanwhile, in another picture, Legend flashes a smile as Miles sits on his lap and holds his younger brother Wren under a cabana.
