Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are a power couple to be reckoned with — and they have the swoon-worthy love story to prove it.
The duo met in 2006 on the set of Legend’s “Stereo” music video. Though they parted ways after the shoot, Teigen later told Cosmopolitan in June 2014 that they “hooked up” that night.
“I was doing this fake model-y dancing with the most dead eyes you’ve ever seen in a human,” she joked of the video. “I walked into John’s dressing room to meet him, and he was ironing in his underwear. I said, ‘You do your own ironing!?’ He said, ‘Of course I do.’ I gave him a hug.”
Over the next year, the couple kept in touch, but Legend would often be seen on red carpets and at events with other women. “I let him be himself for a while,” the Cravings cookbook author told Cosmopolitan. “The worst thing you can do is try to lock someone like that down early on, then have them think, ‘There’s so much more out there. I played it cool for a long time.’ Never once did I ask, ‘What are we?’ Marriage was never my goal because I’ve never been very traditional. I was just happy to be with him.”
Eventually, the Voice coach was ready to settle down and the pair tied the knot in Lake Como, Italy, in 2013. They later welcomed daughter Luna in April 2016 and son Miles in May 2018.
During an interview on Today in 2018, Legend opened up about how he and the Lip Sync Battle personality have made their marriage work.
“We actually really love and respect and admire each other,” he said at the time. “I think that’s the foundation of who we are as a couple and we actually enjoy each other’s company. … [She] makes me laugh all the time. … She’s so good. She’s so attentive, she’s so loving and she also has a great sense of humor about it all.”
After suffering a pregnancy loss in September 2020, Teigen announced in August 2022 that she is expecting another child.

Valentine’s Goals

Bump in the Road?
As the U.S. went into lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic, fans began to show concern over the state of their favorite stars’ relationships. “Oh we are also def breaking up after we can leave the house,” Teigen joked in April 2020 after a cryptic caption made an Instagram user’s heart stop.

Getting Real
During a candid interview on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast in July, the “Green Light” crooner admitted that he had struggled with infidelity in the past. “I escaped ‘technically cheating’ by keeping my relationship ill-defined. But it was really cheating. I definitely was dishonest and selfish,” he explained. “At a certain point, you just realize you’re happier being honest. … You’re happier being faithful and being in love with one person.”

Family of 5

Facing Hardship
In September 2020, Teigen confirmed the loss of the pair’s third child in a heartbreaking Instagram update. “We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” she wrote. “We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough.”
The lifestyle guru continued, “We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital. But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack. So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.”
Teigen then dedicated a portion of her statement to address Jack, apologizing for the “first few moments” of his life coming with “so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive.” She added that they “will always love” him.
Legend later shared Teigen’s statement via Twitter, writing: “We love you, Jack 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤.”

A Heartfelt Celebration
Legend honored his wife’s skills as a mom in a sweet Mother’s Day post shared via Instagram in May 2021. “Happy Mother’s Day to my wonderful wife! It’s been a year that tested you in so many ways but you’ve come through stronger, wiser, happier and a better mother than ever,” he wrote, referring to the couple’s loss of their son Jack in September 2020. “I’m so fortunate to have you as my partner, my inspiration and my best friend. I love you forever.”

Supporting His Wife
Following allegations that Teigen sent Michael Costello harmful messages and threatened his career in 2014, Legend shared another side of the story.
“Chrissy apologized for her public tweets, but after her apology, Mr Costello fabricated a DM exchange between them. This exchange was made up, completely fake, never happened,” the singer tweeted in June 2021 after the fashion designer’s claims went viral. “Honestly I don’t know why anyone would fake DMs to insert themselves in this narrative, but that’s what happened. I encourage everyone who breathlessly spread this lie to keep that same energy when they correct the record.”
Legend linked to a Business Insider report that questioned the fashion designer’s accusations against Teigen, whose team alleged that Costello’s screenshots “appear to be manipulated.”

Birthday Wishes to Her ‘Forever’
“Happy birthday to my forever,” the former model captioned a December 2021 Instagram video with her husband. “I am lucky to have known you 16(!!) of your 43 years and I still wish it were more. I picked the most kind hearted man, the best father, and most talented human being around, which is truly a testament to me! Anyhoo I love you more than a caption could capture. More than a boomerang could wrangle. I love you I love you.”
The “Bigger Love” crooner, for his part, replied, “I love you angel!”

Music Video Romance
In September 2022, Legend released a music video for his single “Wonder Woman” featuring his pregnant wife and their two children.
“I married my wonder woman 9 years ago,” the singer caption a subsequent Instagram post. “Happy anniversary, my love. You never cease to amaze me.”
Teigen replied in the comments, “I could say the same about you. Happy anniversary to my absolute best friend and lover and partner in life. Thank you for being with me through all my mistakes, my ups and downs, my heartaches, for growing with me, for raising babies with me who are my proudest gifts. We have created the most wonderful life together and all I want to do for the rest of my life is watch you make the world better, feed people, bring people joy, make more babies and kiss on your old and gray face one day.”

Proud Parents
“We’ve spent quite a bit of time with our kids now, Luna is 6 and Miles is 4, so we’ve grown as parents and we’re ready to bring another baby into the world,” Legend said during an appearance on Audacy’s “Check In” podcast about his wife’s pregnancy. “I could see us going for four.”
He added: “I envision [us] growing old together, having three or four kids and having them come over for Sunday dinner, having grandkids when the time is right.”

Reinforcing Their Romance
Legend opened up about how losing son Jack in 2020 brought him and Teigen even closer together. “We’ve been through enough together where it’s really fortified us and made us stronger,” he said on the “On Purpose With Jay Shetty” podcast in October 2022. “Those tests have made us grow together and realize things about each other that we didn’t know. … I think she’s cooler now than I ever thought she was. I just really have seen her in all kinds of situations. I just value her more, and in awe of her more than I ever have been.”
The songwriter said he’s “seen so much growth through our grief,” noting that their relationship feels “different” after their loss. “I’ve just learned so much about her personality, how she reacts to stress, how she reacts to life, how she can find a joke even in like the craziest, even in grief, she’s able to find humor,” he gushed. “I think you see so many things about your partner as you grow together and as you experience adversity together and what I’ve seen from her just made me love her more and value her more.”

A New Legend
