Chrissy Teigen Calls Out John Legend for Missing Family Gesture During Performance

During a recent performance at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), singer John Legend faced light-hearted criticism from his wife, Chrissy Teigen, for failing to perform a special gesture that she had requested.

Teigen, 38, shared her thoughts with her followers via Instagram Story on August 21, explaining that she had told Legend, «if he really loves his family he has to tug his ear while he performs at the DNC.» She humorously added that if he did not comply, she would be «out.»

After Legend’s performance, Teigen expressed her disappointment in a follow-up message, revealing screenshots of their text exchange. She noted, «not a single ear was tugged,» to which Legend, 45, responded, «Oh my god. I completely lost it.»

In her playful reply, Teigen acknowledged his performance, stating, «U did!! But you did a good job. Too bad it won’t matter to our children.» She further emphasized in her caption, «Wowowow couldn’t have been more clear. Took him all of 4 mins to forget.»

The couple, who share three children, including daughters Luna and Esti, and son Wren, often engage in humorous exchanges publicly, showcasing their close relationship. This incident is just one of many instances where they playfully tease each other, providing their fans with glimpses into their family dynamic.

In previous interviews, Legend has expressed the significance of humor in their marriage, highlighting mutual love and respect as the foundation of their bond. He has often remarked on how Teigen’s sense of humor enriches their relationship.
