In a world of Hollywood glitz, sometimes the toughest critics are right at home. Chrissy Teigen recently shared a hilarious and heart-melting video of her toddlers, Esti and Wren, watching her new Netflix show, Star Search. While most fans were quick to cheer, her children took a little longer to process the situation. The video captures a sweet, domestic moment that proves even celebrity kids get confused when their mom suddenly appears on a giant TV screen.
Chrissy Teigen’s kids realize too late mom is on TV for ‘Star Search’ in video
The video starts with little Wren and Esti sitting on a plush couch, looking a bit mesmerized by the bright lights of the television. Check out the video below:
As the music of Star Search swells, the camera pans to the screen showing Teigen walking onto the stage in a stunning outfit. However, the kids don’t react immediately. Instead of cheering, Wren looks at the screen with a tiny bit of concern and asks, “Is this scary?”
Off-camera, a voice—presumably their dad, John Legend—quickly reassures him. “No, it’s not scary! Look, it’s Mommy!” Even with the hint, the “delayed” reaction mentioned in Teigen’s caption is on full display. The toddlers stare intensely, trying to bridge the gap between the woman on the screen and the mom who tucks them into bed.
Finally, the lightbulb goes off. Esti’s eyes widen as she points a tiny finger at the television. She begins to shout, “That’s Mama! That’s Mommy!” with pure joy. The confusion melts away into excitement as they realize their mom is a TV star.
Chrissy joked in her caption that the “reviews are in.” According to the kids, the show is officially “not scary,” which is a high honor in the toddler world. It is a beautiful, human look at fame through the eyes of children who just want to make sure “Mommy” is okay behind the glass.
