John Legend marked his 47th birthday with a family outing in New York City, celebrating the occasion by getting slimed alongside wife Chrissy Teigen and their four children at the Sloomoo Institute on Sunday (Dec. 28).
Teigen shared moments from the visit on Instagram, posting photos of the family immersed in the interactive slime attraction and writing, “One last thing before we leave NYC 🥹 we love you @sloomooinstitute!”
In the photos, the EGOT-winning artist is seen smiling alongside his children as they explore the colorful installations and participate in hands-on activities.The birthday celebration capped a busy holiday stretch for the family.
Earlier this month, Legend, Teigen and their children attended Disney on Ice at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, where they posed with Mickey and Minnie Mouse ahead of the performance.
Legend and Teigen, who married in 2013, are parents to daughters Luna Simone, 9, and Esti Maxine, 2, and sons Miles Theodore, 7, and Wren Alexander, 2.
Legend’s family celebration follows a notable recent chart milestone on the Billboard Gospel Airplay chart, with “Church” — his collaboration with Tasha Cobbs Leonard — hitting No. 1, marking the first appearance and first leader for John Legend on the chart. The achievement extended Cobbs Leonard’s dominance at the format’s summit, earning her 10th No. 1 on the ranking.
“I grew up singing and playing in the church,” Legend said of the milestone.
“So, I have a profound respect for the tradition of gospel music and gospel radio. To have ‘Church’ reach No. 1 on the Gospel Airplay chart and to get my first ever Grammy nomination in the Gospel category is a blessing.”
The song is also nominated for best gospel performance/song at the Grammy Awards, scheduled for Feb. 1.
