John Legend Says Chrissy Teigen Is Mommy-Shamed for Decisions They Make Together


Chrissy Teigen is no stranger to being mommy-shamed⁠, and she always handles it like a pro. The Cravings author is just one of many celebrity mothers whose choices are unfairly criticized and judged. Rarely do A-list dads receive the same treatment, a double-standard that Teigen’s husband John Legend points out in a new interview with Romper.

“People were shaming Chrissy for leaving the house, and didn’t say anything bad to me,” Legend told the publication, recalling a particularly ridiculous mommy-shaming incident from 2016. (All Teigen did was leave the house without her daughter, Luna. Truly. That’s it!) “Look, we’re both parents and we’re both going out. If you think that’s not appropriate — and first of all, you shouldn’t think that’s not appropriate — if you’re going to blame somebody, blame both of us, not just the mother.”

Legend has this same mindset about every aspect of his personal life. He and Teigen are a unit in everything they do. “I feel like we tag-team or we split, especially when [our son] Miles was first born and when it came to breast-feeding and having that be a regular part of the ritual with him,” Legend also told Romper. “Chrissy had to tend to him more than I could, so I took it upon myself to really make sure Luna was good. So we kind of split off that way.”

He continued, “We just figure out who needs what and try to do what we can and never look at it as, ‘This is Chrissy’s job and this is my job.’ This is our job, together. We’re both parents and we make it work.”

Add this to the growing list of reasons why John Legend is the best. All dads should follow his example, TBH.

“I have a career in the music business, but we all know who the star of the family is. She’s the heart and soul of the family too,” Legend said about Teigen at Glamour‘s 2018 Women of the Year Awards. “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.”

This Video of Luna Negotiating Candy With Chrissy Teigen Is So Pure


We don’t have many pure things left in our world, but one of them is this Instagram video of Chrissy Teigen and her daughter, Luna, having a candy negotiation. What’s a candy negotiation, you ask? Well, it’s exactly like it sounds: Luna wanted some candy from her famous mother, but before closing the deal, they had a conversation about the exact amount.

Teigen dubbed the entire situation “candy court,” and it started with Luna’s opening statement. Her reasoning for requesting the candy was simple: “I want the candy because I want it. And I like it.” I’ve never heard a more compelling argument, TBH.

But this wasn’t good enough for Teigen. She made Luna promise to be good and not scream in her sleep if she got the candy—both terms she agreed to. Then the negotiations started: Teigen initially offered one piece of candy to Luna, which she rejected outright. “I say [three],” Luna said, but Teigen didn’t back down. “What about one?” Teigen said again, to which Luna responded, “No, I want three.” Where was Luna when I was negotiating my salary?!

Teigen caved, slightly, and made Luna a final offer of two pieces. She took the deal. What a master class in business, am I right?

Watch all of this go down in the two videos, below:

These types of videos are staples on Chrissy Teigen‘s Instagram. The Cravings author is always giving us hilarious updates on her family life, whether it’s trolling husband John Legend…

…or posting adorable photos like this:

“We didn’t think we’d be those kind of parents who were showing [our children] off all the time,” Teigen told Glamour a few weeks ago in regards to her family’s social media presence. “But it became such a normal part of our life. I was never the kind of person who loved posting selfies, or glam photos. I love taking pictures of other people and posting them. I’m with my kids more than anyone else, so it just kind of happens.”

Chrissy Teigen Had a Lot to Say About Ivanka Trump’s Reaction to Family Separations


Ivanka Trump has caught a lot of flak for refusing to speak out about controversial issues like family separation, despite positioning herself as a champion for women and children. On Wednesday night at the House Democrats’ annual retreat, Chrissy Teigen become the latest celebrity to put the First Daughter on blast, noting that Trump continued posting photos of her kids on social media while immigrant children were being removed from their parents as a result of her father’s policies.

Alongside her husband, John Legend, Teigen spoke with former MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry and explained that the images of children separated from their parents because of the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy at the border deeply affected her. “It’s a painful thing to see that, and it’s a painful thing to see such a complete lack of empathy,” she said.

Teigen then pointed out that Ivanka Trump had published images of her son on Instagram when the family separation crisis was at its peak. The photos were criticized as tone-deaf for appearing at a time when thousands of immigrants were trying desperately to reunite with their own children.

“When it comes from people, like Ivanka, I will say, that can post all day pictures of her children that are just in her home and ‘Oh, my daughter is having trouble in her crib’ or ‘My daughter is doing this’ and ‘My daughter is doing this,’ there are children out there that don’t have that opportunity,” Teigen said.

Last August Trump finally spoke up and called the family separations a “low point.”

“I feel very strongly about that. And I am very vehemently against family separation and the separation of parents and children,” Trump said at an event with the news site Axios. However, many people on social media wondered why she hadn’t been more vocal when the crisis was unfolding.

Since Donald Trump was elected, Teigen has been a forceful critic of his on Twitter. At Wednesday’s event, Legend joked that his wife “was ahead of the curve on making fun of Donald Trump.” Still, Teigen did leave the audience with one word of advice not for politicians, but for women: Harris-Perry asked her what word she hoped women would use more frequently and Teigen blurted out, “Fuck you.” The crowd broke into laughter, and Teigen quickly added, “You don’t have to say it…. It is not a word; it’s not a sentence. It’s a mind-set.”

NBA Star Dwyane Wade Fell on Chrissy Teigen During a Game, and It's Becoming a Meme


As we all know, Chrissy Teigen is a national treasure who should be protected at all costs. I adore her for many reasons—like her epic social media trolling moments and her real talks about everything from parenting to body image. But one of my favorite things about Teigen is her ability to unwittingly go viral every time she attends a public event. Remember when she got hit in the face with an umbrella on a New Year’s Eve telecast? Or how about when she seemingly dozed off at the 2017 Oscars? I’m eternally grateful for these moments.

And now we have a new one to add to the list. It all went down last night at a Miami Heat basketball game in Florida: Teigen showed up courtside with husband John Legend and actress Gabrielle Union to watch Union’s husband, Dwyane Wade, play in his final regular season home game before retiring. At one point during the game, Wade ended up in the laps of Teigen and Legend, and the photo (by Charles Trainer Jr. for the Miami Herald) is simply perfection. Just look at those facial expressions!

Naturally, Teigen had a witty response to the photo, calling it a “Renaissance painting.” She also said it was “an honor” to be crashed into by Wade.

Everyone had a good laugh about the whole thing. One fan tweeted, “This kind of shit seems to always happen to you lol. First the New Year’s umbrella and now this.”

Naturally, people are turning this viral moment into a slew of hilarious memes:

This wasn’t the only fun moment at the game, which kicked off with a celebration of Wade’s career. Union got in on the action by playfully grabbing her husband’s butt at one point:

And then there was a sweet moment with the night’s other big star, Union and Wade’s baby daughter, Kaavia James Union Wade:

Perhaps all retiring players should invite Chrissy Teigen to their final game. They’ll be pretty much guaranteed an amazing viral moment.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Got Matching Tattoos, and It's About Time


Chrissy Teigen and John Legend cemented their place as pop-culture’s favorite couple this week by getting matching tattoos. I know, I know: It’s bizarre this hasn’t happened sooner, especially when you think about all the couple-y things they do on the reg. Remember when Legend showered Teigen with praise at Glamour‘s Women of the Year Awards last year? Or when Teigen posted the sweetest message to Instagram after Legend earned his EGOT? Plus, they lovably troll each other practically every day (well, Teigen trolls Legend). Simply put, they’re obsessed with each other. Matching ink seems like a total given—and now it is.

Legend and Teigen decided to incorporate their children into these tattoos, naturally. Teigen’s says “ChrissyLunaMiles,” while Legend’s says, “JohnLunaMiles,” both written in the same cursive script.

“hey guys please don’t talk to us unless u have tattoos we are a cool tattoo family now and we only want to talk to other tattoo families (srry if this seems harsh),” Teigen posted on Instagram alongside photos of the tattoos. (She also got a small heart tat on her finger.) “Thank you thank you @winterstone. You are not only incredibly talented but you are very kind and delightful and welcome over any time!!”

I have to say: I’m mildly disappointed Legend didn’t have his Glamour speech about Teigen tattooed on his arm, because it really was beautiful.

“People love her honesty. Her humor. Her beauty and style. Her passion for food. Her sense of adventure and fun. And they love her big, beautiful heart. The heart she wears on her sleeve,” he said at our WOTY Awards last year. “She inspires so many people and so many women. I mean, she’s the kind of woman you write songs about. Huge, international, award-winning songs. Have you heard songs written for Chrissy before? One of them went to #1 on Billboard charts.”

Never change, you two.

Chrissy Teigen Got Real About Post-Pregnancy Weight Gain, and It's Pretty Inspiring


Chrissy Teigen continues to be the best at social media—and getting real about her own life. She’ll hilariously take on any troll in her path while also showing off her mad cooking skills and letting us in on little pieces of her private life with husband John Legend and their two children, Luna and Miles.

Heck, she’ll even interview herself, like in a recent Twitter thread in which she opened up about her body and her post-pregnancy weight gain. “How do you eat like this?” Teigen asked herself, likely referencing all of her incredible food posts. (Of course, she’s also the author of two best-selling Cravings cookbooks.)

“Basically I am 20 pounds heavier than I was before miles,” she answered. “He’s 10 months old, I never lost the last bit because I just love food too much. Just coming to terms with my new normal, when I had this certain number for so long!”

Teigen, who has been wonderfully outspoken about the postpartum depression she had after daughter Luna was born, says she’s much happier than when she was thinner—weight loss that she seemed to attribute to the depression. (Which, yep, sounds terrible.) “The thinnest I’ve ever been was right after Luna. Postpartum depression,” she wrote. “I’LL TAKE THESE POUNDS AND THIS FEELING!” Hear, hear.

She first opened up about her depression in an essay for Glamour in 2017. “When I wasn’t in the studio, I never left the house. I mean, never. Not even a tiptoe outside. I’d ask people who came inside why they were wet. Was it raining? How would I know—I had every shade closed,” she said. “Most days were spent on the exact same spot on the couch and rarely would I muster up the energy to make it upstairs for bed. John would sleep on the couch with me, sometimes four nights in a row. I started keeping robes and comfy clothes in the pantry so I wouldn’t have to go upstairs when John went to work. There was a lot of spontaneous crying.”

Social media users offered their thanks for Teigen’s honesty. “You are so brave and transparent, I love you so much! Thank you for being you and a PHENOM role model for girls ?,” one wrote.

“Girl, same. After my second child, I was walking 4 miles a day after a long day, crying over laundry and barely eating,” another tweeted. “Post partum depression is a beast, and while I was the thinnest ever, I was the unhappiest ever. You’re awesome for embracing the healthier you!”

Never change, Chrissy.
