Their family is growing! John Legend and Chrissy Teigen shared some of the sweetest moments with their second daughter after her arrival in January 2023. The couple, who married in 2011, became parents for the first time after giving birth to daughter Luna in 2016 and son Miles in 2018. In 2020, the cookbook author was pregnant again (…)
“It’s surreal, I’m really scared now. Going to,” Teigen wrote on Wednesday, Jan. 8, as she prepared to head to a hotel with Legend and their kids.
Wildfires broke out in the Pacific Palisade on January 7 and quickly spread to other parts of Los Angeles. Many celebrities living in the area have reported losing their homes and personal belongings. Others continue to evacuate the city amid rapidly changing natural disasters.
Actor Milo Ventimiglia became emotional on Thursday, January 9, when he revealed that his home with Jara’s wife Mariana, who is nine months pregnant, was completely destroyed.
“You start thinking about all the memories in different parts of the house and whatnot, and then you see the neighbors’ houses and everything around and it just breaks your heart,” he told CBS News. “It’s kind of a shock moment where you go, ‘This is real, this is happening,’ and at a certain point you just turn it off. What’s the use of continuing to watch? We kind of came to terms with the loss.”
Ventimiglia, 47, recognized the parallel between his loss and his own This is Us character, Jack Pearson, who died of smoke inhalation after a slow cooker caused his family’s home to burn to the ground.
“I’m not lost, you know, life imitates art,” he added, reflecting on his personal next steps. “We have good friends and good people to work with and we’ll make it. Wife, child and dog, the most important thing.”
John Mayermeanwhile shared an emotional post about preparing for the loss of significant items due to ongoing fires.
“This is the most valuable thing I have. This is a folder of photos of my father, spanning his life from childhood, educator, husband and father. This is the only evidence of his life that will last over time,” he wrote on Instagram Thursday alongside a photo of the folder. “These are the ‘documents’ you read about people being taken from their homes. When you hear someone say they lost everything in a fire, that’s almost everything, if not everything.’
He continued: “Those who say they’re going to be fine have their folders and albums left. Those who are inconsolable have lost them. Immediately behind the immeasurable loss of life is the loss of proof of life.”
Mayer, 47, wrote a message of support others are being pushed out.
“I don’t practice a prayer, but tonight I’m going to say one for everyone who doesn’t already have these things. It’s not about art and collecting. They are photos, letters, rings, glasses and things we keep to remind us that the ones we loved were here,” he added. “May those who have lost so much find some semblance of hope and support from their family and friends. Stay safe, take care of yourself and each other, and believe that humanity and all that is connected to it, although sometimes hard to see, is alive and well. It’s really devastating.”
