John took to Twitter this week to defend his wife against criticism she has faced following the arrival of their baby girl on 14 April."Funny there's no dad-shaming," the 37-year-old musician wrote. "When both of us go out to dinner, shame both of us so Chrissy doesn't have to take it all. We'll split it."

Chrissy, 30, came under fire when she stepped out for a dinner date with John less than two weeks after giving birth. Unfazed, she responded by screenshotting her critics' comments and sharing them on Twitter.

In one tweet, she directly quoted one of her commenters, who had written: "I never wanted to leave my daughter, I love her, BUT THAT'S JUST ME'," adding alongside, "The passive aggressiveness is real!"
