John said they were ‘very excited’ for the new arrival, cautiously revealing that the baby is due ‘early next year’
‘Sometimes you’re, like, coy about it,’ he explained. ‘You know, you’re like, am I supposed to tell people when it’s due? But you got it out of me!
Jamie was keen to ask how John feels about Chrissy’s penchant for sharing their family life online.
‘I feel like when we were early on and social media, I didn’t really know how it worked. And, you know, we’re just figuring it out together. But now I feel like she knows what she’s doing,’ he insisted.
The singer/songwriter also revealed what fans can expect from his new album.
‘It’s a double album. It’s called ‘Legend’. It is out on Friday. I’m very excited. I called Act One my Saturday night album, and Act Two my Sunday morning album.’

‘So Sunday is a little more intimate and reflective and spiritual and introspective, and then Saturday is more fun and sexy and up tempo.’
John has been out on the road touring through Europe this summer to promote the release of his upcoming studio album.
The U Move, I Move star has brought his children and pregnant wife along for the journey making it more of a working scenic vacation.
Chrissy recently announced her pregnancy with a lengthy message on Instagram, revealing that the couple are expecting a rainbow baby, nearly two years after they lost their son, Jack, halfway through her last pregnancy.
She admitted the last few years ‘had been a blur of emotions’ following the loss of Jack and their subsequent battle to conceive via IVF and she was hesitant about making the announcement publicly.
The model said that while it has been tough to keep her pregnancy a secret for so long, she was understandably ‘very nervous’ about every appointment or scan she attended because of her past heartbreak.
Despite her nerves, the star rejoiced in feeling ‘hopeful and amazing’ as she navigated her journey to motherhood.
