John Legend Tried To Break Up With Chrissy Teigen Years Ago But She Refused
The couple, who married in Italy in 2013, have been together for nearly a decade, with the brief exception of an almost-breakup. "I was really stressed and busy," the singer tells the Guardian in an interview. "I was just like: 'I'd just be happier single right now' and she was like: 'No.'" They were on a date less than half an hour later. "It wasn't a typical breakup," Teigen explains. "He was on tour and his voice hurt and he was being a whiny face about everything and so yeah, I was like 'no.'" "She pushes me to be funnier, not because she's trying to, I think it's just being around her," says Legend. "And to be bolder." John Legend tried to dump Chrissy Teigen (photos
