John Legend was recently chosen as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people - for the second time, no less - and his daughter Luna agrees.

Legend shared a heartwarming Instagram of himself and his daughter, who was seeing double while holding an issue of the magazine with her dad's photo on the cover. In the video, Teigen asks her Luna who's in the photo, and she responds "dada, dada" to her parents' delight. Cue the awwws.

Clearly, Luna is a daddy's girl - and she's got her famous father wrapped around her little finger. Legend reminisced about holding his daughter for the first time in an appearance on The Late Show. "It's beautiful, it's very emotional, and it brings you and your wife closer together," he told Stephen Colbert. And if that wasn't enough to melt your heart, he continued, ""It's a different kind of love. It's very pure, it's unconditional."

As if that weren't adorable enough, Legend also told Entertainment Tonight that he sees his model wife as the most influential person in his life. "We spend a lot of time together, we know each other really well, we get along pretty well, too, she's very influential. She makes me cooler than I would be normally," he said.

Ever the humble musician, Legend told ET he considered it a huge honor to be named to the magazine's 2017 list, but he questioned his qualifications for it. "'You never know if you really deserve it because you can always think of some other people that deserve it, too, but it's a huge honor and I'm grateful."
