John Legend Says He Tried to Break Up With Chrissy Teigen Years Ago, But She Said “No”

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have easily become on of our favorite ballerific couples. Not only because of the love they have for one another but because of the fun they have together. But, things weren’t always peaches and cream between the two.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Legend discussed his longstanding relationship with his wife, revealing that the two nearly parted ways. But, thanks to Teigen, the two are still together, stronger than ever, raising their precious #ballerbaby girl, Luna.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“I was really stressed and busy,” Legend told the Guardian. “I was just like: ‘I’d just be happier singer right now, and she was like: ‘No.’”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Apparently, Teigen had other plans for the singer, as the “breakup” only lasted a few hours, if that.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“It wasn’t a typical breakup,” Teigen explained. “He was on tour and his voice hurt and he was being a whiny face about everything and so yeah, I was like “no.”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Despite the brief tiff between the two, they are still going strong “11-years later, baby,” Teigen said.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“She pushes me to be funnier, not because she’s trying to. I think it’s just being around her. And to be bolder,” Legend said of his wife.
