Legend, 39, and Teigen, 32, welcomed their son Miles Theodore on May 17, and the star made his first red carpet appearance at the BBMAs and explained how they chose their baby’s name.

“We named our first daughter Luna Simone Stephens; every name we give to our kids I think will have a little bit of musical history to it. So Miles is, of course, is the same name as the great Miles Davis,” the Grammy and Oscar-winning artist told E!’s Jason Kennedy on the carpet.
