“[Parenthood] deepens your love for your partner because you see them in a different light going through, in our case, the trouble of actually having a kid,” says Legend, 40, who’s also dad to 18-month-old son Miles.
“ThenChrissy’s going through postpartum depression. You just see different sides of that person, and if you go through it and you learn from it and you come out the other end better for it, then it deepens and strengthens your relationship.”

Not surprisingly,laughter and musicare key to a happy life for the family.
“I love seeing my kids discover music and playing on the piano with them. They make us laugh all the time. Luna has a sense of actual comedy. She is so much likeChrissy it’s uncanny. I guess that’s why we get along though,” says the singer. “We hang out together all the time. I love taking her to school and I’ll take her to lunch just the two of us a lot.”
Meanwhile, Miles is “a little more mellowlike me,” says the star. But like any toddler, “he just runs around and falls. He’s like a wrecking ball! We laugh a lot.”
