No television for Legend’s daughter

-

JOHN LEGEND’s daughter doesn’t watch television.The All of Me musician and his wife Chrissy Teigen welcomed their daughter Luna into the world 12 months ago and admits they haven’t introduced her to “entertainm­ent” of any kind just yet, although she has started to take an interest in her parents’ mobile phones.

John said when talking about the projects he chooses now he’s a father “I will probably do a few more things that are kid-friendly, but I’ll still make music for grown-ups. We actually haven’t given her any entertainm­ent [or] television yet, but soon enough. She sees us on our phones all day and she’s, like, jealous. She wants to grab them all the time.”

INFLUENTIA­L FACTOR

And the 38 year-old musician said baby Luna influences a lot of his decisions now, as he’s conscious about the world she’s going to grow up in.

He added to Entertainm­ent Tonight: “I think about the world I want my daughter to grow up in. I think about the world I want to see and I want a world where people have opportunit­y and where people havejustic­e, where people have equality. I’m in a position where I [can] advocate for them, fight for them and use my celebrity and my voiceand my audience for good.”

It isn’t the first time the Love Me Now singer has spoken about his daughter’s influence over his life, as he previously said being a father has caused him to alter his work schedule so he can fit in more family time.
