John Legend & Chrissy Teigen: A Love Story for the Ages

When music meets magic, you get the love story of John Legend and Chrissy Teigen — one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples. Their journey is full of laughter, loyalty, and love that feels straight out of a love song (and yes, it inspired one of the greatest ones too).

How They Met
It all began in 2006 on the set of John’s “Stereo” music video. Chrissy was cast as the sultry love interest, and by the end of the shoot, they were inseparable. After a casual post-shoot meal of In-N-Out burgers in his hotel room, sparks flew — and never fizzled out.

A Relationship Built on Realness
Over the years, their love blossomed through long-distance calls, goofy red carpet moments, and honest interviews that made fans adore their authenticity. Chrissy’s humor paired perfectly with John’s soulful calm. They weren’t afraid to show the world their ups and downs, making their bond even more relatable.

The Proposal
After years of dating, John popped the question in December 2011 while on vacation in the Maldives. The ring? Hidden in a plate of arugula. The result? A tearful yes, followed by a lifetime of memories.

The Fairytale Wedding
On September 14, 2013, John and Chrissy said “I do” in an intimate ceremony at Lake Como, Italy — a place close to John’s heart. Surrounded by close friends and family, Chrissy wore three stunning Vera Wang dresses throughout the day, while John serenaded her with “All of Me,” the heartfelt ballad he wrote for her. (Talk about iconic!)

Happily Ever After
Since their wedding, the Legends have grown their family with love and resilience, welcoming four children and continuing to support each other through life’s highs and lows. Their story is a beautiful blend of romance, humor, and enduring partnership.

From a music video set to the altar in Italy — and into the hearts of millions — John and Chrissy’s love story proves that soulmates do exist.
