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.”

It wasn’t love at first sight for the nine-time Grammy winner, he revealed in an interview with Los Angeles Confidential in November 2014. “I’m more cautious than that,” he said. “For me I’m the kind of person who needs to grow into that feeling.” Even so, he and Teigen looked so in love at a gala event in New York City on May 26, 2011.

“We’re by no means freaky-deaky, but let’s just say, we’re open to things,” Teigen once told Cosmopolitan of the famous duo’s sex life. “We’re very okay with PDA. When we got to a restaurant, he loves when I wear a dress, so he can do some upper-thigh rubbing.” Here, the pair goof off in a pool in July 2012.

The loving couple welcomed their second child, son Miles, in May 2018. Teigen opened up about being a mother of two during a February 2019 interview with Good Housekeeping, saying: “The biggest difference between one kid and two is finding that balance in between giving that special quiet time to your baby, and then having that rambunctious playtime where you really have to be on your toes.”

"I really don’t care about Valentine’s Day or going out on dates – it’s John who cares," Teigen wrote on her Cravings website in February 2020. "My favorite date will always be at home. In my robe. With wine. Watching my reality show. With John cooking."

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.

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."

The couple made a big announcement in the video for Legend's new song, "Wild," which dropped in August 2020 and confirmed that they were expecting their third child together.

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 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤.”
