In a recent appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Grammy-winning artist John Legend opened up about his marriage to model and television personality Chrissy Teigen, sharing a light-hearted anecdote that reflects the dynamics of their relationship. Legend jokingly suggested that he made a mistake by marrying Teigen, but his humor revealed deeper insights into their family life.
Performance at the DNC: A family promise forgotten
During the show, Legend discussed his performance at the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 21, where he sang “Let’s Go Crazy” alongside renowned percussionist Sheila E. While the performance was electrifying, it led to some playful tension at home. Legend had promised Teigen that he would tug his ear during the performance as a sign of love for their family, a promise he ultimately forgot.
Teigen, known for her witty and humorous personality, took to social media to express her disappointment. She shared a screenshot of their text conversation, where she pointed out, “Not a single ear was tugged,” to which Legend humorously replied, “Oh my god. I completely lost it.” This exchange not only showcased their playful banter but also highlighted how their relationship thrives on humor.
The humor in their relationship
Legend and Teigen’s relationship is characterized by a shared sense of humor, which they both embrace. During the interview with Kimmel, Legend remarked, “The mistake we made – we both married funny women,” referring to Teigen’s knack for roasting him in public. He explained that the ear-tugging promise originated from a conversation with their daughter, Luna, who suggested it as a way for Legend to show his love while performing.
Despite the light-hearted nature of the situation, Legend admitted that he was focused on delivering a great performance and completely forgot about the promise. “I got out there on stage and I was really just focused on giving a good performance. And I was not focused on fulfilling my promise to Luna,” he explained.
Social media and public life
Teigen’s social media presence often includes playful jabs at Legend, and this incident was no exception. She humorously threatened to leave him if he didn’t tug his ear, showcasing her comedic flair. Their interactions on social media provide fans with a glimpse into their family life, filled with love, laughter and a bit of chaos.
Legend’s candidness about his marriage resonates with many fans, who appreciate the authenticity of their relationship. Comments from viewers during the interview reflected this sentiment, with fans expressing their admiration for the couple and their family dynamics. One fan noted, “John Legend is so very cool,” while another added, “John and Chrissy are definitely soulmates, love them and their beautiful family.”
Celebrating love and family
As Legend and Teigen approach their 12th wedding anniversary on Sept. 14, their relationship continues to evolve. The couple shares four children: Luna, 8; Miles, 6; and their youngest, Esti and Wren, both 1 year old. Their journey as parents and partners is filled with moments of joy, laughter and the occasional mishap, which they navigate together.
