John Legend is showing off his newborn baby girl, Esti Maxine.
The 44-year-old crooner smiled as he posed for the Instagram snap while holding Esti, who was born earlier this month.
Legend is wearing a cozy turtleneck sweater, and little Esti — whom he shares with wife Chrissy Teigen — is bundled up in what appears to be a pink hoodie. The baby has her tiny palm held up to her face.
“Our new love,” Legend captioned the photo.

The newborn was asleep and wrapped in a gray blanket and appeared to be cradling her head in the photo.
