At the Glamour’s Women of the Year awards on Monday, John Legend grew emotional as he paid tribute to his wife Chrissy Teigen.
The “All of Me” singer described himself as the “Lip Sync Battle” star’s “trophy husband” and called his spouse the “heart and soul” of their family, which includes daughter Luna, two, and five-month-old Miles.
“I have a career in the music business, but we all know who the star of the family is,” Legend said. “She’s the heart and soul of the family too. I am very much in love with this woman. I mean, obviously, I guess. She is my wife. And she is the mother of our daughter Luna and our son Miles. But I’m not the only one who loves her. Many millions of people who aren’t married or related to her love her too.”
“Everywhere I go, I meet people, fans, who used to ask me for an autograph or tell me how much they love my music,” Legend went on to say. “Now, the number one comment I get from people who USED to be MY fans is how much they LOVE Chrissy. She gets bigger cheers than I do at my own concerts. They love her!”
As many of her fans know, Teigen is many things — she’s a supermodel, best-selling cookbook author, TV host, and of course John Legend’s wife.
She has a big following on social media and unlike most celebrities, Teigen is unfiltered and will say anything that comes to her mind. She is also very open and doesn’t shy away from subjects, making her very relatable and real, which is why so many love her.
Even in his tribute to his wife, the 39-year-old singer spoke of Teigen as an inspiration to many.
“She inspires so many people and so many women,” Legend said. I mean, she’s the kind of woman you write songs about. Huge, international, award-winning songs…but this is about Chrissy. Have you heard songs written for Chrissy before? One of them went to number one on the Billboard charts.”
