there are plenty of celeb couples in
hollywood
but only a select few earn the coveted
distinction of being a
power couple john legend and chrissy
tygan
are the definition of the term while
they don't have much relationship
drama they've certainly been through a
lot together over the years
if john legend and chrissy tygan were
asked to describe the day they met in
the fewest words
their answer could be burgers video
shoot and
flirting it's widely known that the
couple met in 2006 when they were
matched in a very hollywood-like way
on the set of legends stereo video
legend told the guardian in 2017
we spent the whole day dancing together
grinding together
and uh we made a music video and tygan
told cosmopolitan many more juicy
details
about the day a few years earlier all of
that grinding meant the two got close to
each other very fast
bonding both on and off camera she said
i'm not going to lie we hooked up not
before feasting on
in-n-out burgers but they didn't get
serious right away
tygan said the worst thing you can do is
try to lock someone like that down early
on
then have them think there's so much
more out there she added that she tried
not to ask about the ultimate commitment
stating marriage was never my goal
because i've never been very traditional
i was just happy to be with him there
are many ways to propose
marriage and hopefully every couple
remembers their proposal as romantic
but some issues nearly ruined john
legend's plans to propose to chrissy
tygan
in december 2011 during a vacation to
the maldives
while driving to the airport the couple
got into a fight
tygan told fab life we had opened our
christmas presents beforehand
and he had only gotten me a cookbook and
a crockpot
i remember him going you just wait she
almost didn't have to wait long
legend told oprah winfrey that security
almost ruined his plans
he said security wanted to look to my
bag and they wanted to look
in that particular box and chrissy was
sitting standing right next to me
he was panicking about everything being
ruined but said he was thinking about
getting down on his knees
in the middle of the airport but fate
stepped in and security didn't open the
box
the actual proposal happened during a
beautiful dinner in the maldives where
the ring was presented to tygan
in a silver dome full of arugula tygan
loved the moment telling fab life it was
just very lovely and sweet
john legend and chrissy tygan have never
rushed their relationship
milestones but their goal to start a
family wasn't delayed on purpose
tygan has been very open about her
struggle to get pregnant
and her journey with in vitro
fertilization the mom of two told the
cut in 2018 when she was pregnant with
her son miles
you hear stories about ivf working the
first try
but you'll hear a lot more stories about
when it takes a few times
ours didn't work the first time and it
was devastating
she said the key to surviving the
process is to remember that
no in vitro fertilization experience is
universal
there's no right way to do ivf you just
have to keep hoping that it will happen
it's easy for some and not for others
and that's okay
taigan told people in 2016 while
pregnant with her daughter luna that she
and legend
chose to have a girl i've made this
decision not only am i having a girl but
i picked the girl from her little
embryo i picked her and was like let's
put in the girl
tygan was criticized for the choice
since opening up about it
so much so that the normally candid
model deleted tweets defending herself
to naysayers
but the couple has two of the cutest
kids in hollywood and there is plenty of
evidence on the internet to prove it
tygan shared a video on instagram
calling her daughter
cute the reaction is hysterical
tygan explained her daughter's affinity
for the word no on the tonight show with
jimmy fallon
saying luna's first word was no but she
also which is so perfect for them
because luna is me and
miles is john in luna's world girls can
only be beautiful
and cute is reserved for boys like her
brother miles after announcing they were
expecting their third child together in
legends wild video
in august 2020 and tygan chronicling her
medical issues on social media
the couple announced that they lost
their son whom they named
jack in an instagram post in september
2020
the post reads in part we are shocked
and in the kind of deep pain you only
hear about
the kind of pain we've never felt before
one month later
tygan wrote an essay for medium she
further explained that she was diagnosed
with a partial placenta abruption
tygan wrote about getting the news about
her miscarriage
i cried a little at first then went into
full-blown convulsions of snot
and tears my breath not able to catch up
with my own incredibly deep sadness
oxygen was placed over my nose and mouth
and that was the first picture you saw
utter and complete
sadness tygan asked john and her mother
to take pictures of the event
so she'd always remember jack she shared
them publicly and
firmly stated these photos are only for
the people who need them
she said her heart is full of sadness
but also
love and gratitude chrissy tygan
isn't afraid to air some of her marital
grievances with john legend on twitter
one of the best is when legend forgot to
tell tygan why he was bringing his team
members from the voice over for dinner
she tweeted
jon invited everyone to dinner at the
house after and i'm really
mad because i didn't make a finale meal
i would have gotten a cake or something
too
who the does this you don't win the
voice
then eat short ribs but short ribs sound
great to us
tygan regularly roasts her husband's
video attempts on twitter
sarcastically laments his tendency to
steal chargers
and exposes his hilarious drunk moments
like the time he got drunk at universal
studios
and changed the words to his famous song
all of me
most of the public fights are all in fun
but legend and tygan have spats just
like the rest of us
legend shared on youtube we have to
communicate with each other just like
every couple does
and we fight sometimes just like every
couple does
he shared on armchair expert that
although he had a history of cheating
before meeting tygan
their fame plays a part in why he
wouldn't betray her
chrissy has so many million twitter
followers if i were to do
anything it would be career suicide it
would be terrible
it just gives you another reason to not
[ __ ] it up
it's no secret that john legend and
chrissy tygan have different
personalities and are a textbook case of
opposites attract
legend's quiet nature lends itself to
tygan's outspoken one and
vice versa you can't change anyone but
when you're one half of a power couple
your instinct might be to change or ask
your partner to change to support
your career legend and tygan don't play
that game
legend told oprah winfrey on next
chapter i was worried like you know
don't be too honest don't share too much
but then
i think she's actually more brazen on
twitter than she is just in regular life
he continued commenting on why their
opinions and behavior do not reflect the
other person
i feel like chrissy should be her own
entity and her own persona
and i'm not going to say so you can
serve my needs and
my career you have to muzzle yourself
and not be who you are
tygan said in an interview that it makes
her feel bad when people say they won't
support legend because of her words or
actions
but tygan told cosmopolitan i'm with
someone who
is totally secure in himself he's not
trying to be anything other than what he
is the confidence he has brings it to me
it's clear that john legend's hit song
all of me
is about his wife chrissy tygan from the
first few words
what would i do without your smart mouth
the couple even filmed the video for the
song
right after their wedding at a house in
lake como legend said at yahoo's on the
road tour in 2013
there's a song on my album that actually
could be pretty good for the wedding
it's called
all of me and it's inspired by chrissy
she loved the song and
cried when she heard it but times have
changed and now that
all of me is basically the world's
wedding song it's magic has worn off for
tygan
she told jimmy fallon on the tonight
show when it got popular
i had been hearing it for almost like a
year and a half or something
i like it a lot but i've heard it for a
long time
if i go to a show of john's tomorrow and
he sings it
everyone turns to look and see if i'll
start crying and then i have to either
pretend
or i don't know what to do anymore and
this
is a very unrelatable but sweet problem
