Recently, John Legend opened up about his marriage to Chrissy Teigen on Club Shay Shay and how he knew she was the one.

Legend said, “You know, I feel like sometimes you hear folks talk like, oh, man, relationships are such hard work. And Chrissy and I will watch people say that. And if that’s your story, if that’s your experience, then that’s what it is.”

He continued, “But for us, it’s really not hard work for us to be together. And there’s challenges that we’ve had, like tragedies that we’ve had to deal with together.

Miscarriage and other tragedies we’ve had to deal with together. But us, me and her, it’s never actually been that hard for us to be in a relationship. And I think the reason why is it starts with a mutual respect.”

He added about sex on the first date, “Some people say that, but… here we are, 18 years later.”
