John Legend is a multi-talented performer, but the EGOT winner's main priority is raising his children with Chrissy Teigen: Luna, 5, and Miles, 2.

Legend recently sat down with E! Online to offer his advice to new parents ahead of Mother's Day and Father's Day.

"As a husband, I feel like one, it's very difficult right after delivery for a woman," Legend said. "A lot of women deal with postpartum depression. There's a lot going on with your body and your hormones."

"As a husband, we've got to be reliable," he continued. "We've got to be a rock. We've got to be there for our wives. We've got to be as present and available as possible to help with whatever needs to be done."

Legend said late last year that he and Teigen were "stronger together than we've ever been."

After suffering a pregnancy loss in September -- when the couple lost their son Jack -- Legend said they leaned on one another for support.
