The latest issue of Vanity Fair sees the 33-year-old model and her Grammy Award-winning husband, plus their two children, Luna and Miles appear on the front cover of the Hollywood magazine – as well as the A-list couple taking part in a no-holds barred interview.
“He was kind of known at the time for either being in the closet or a modelizer,” Chrissy said of John’s reputation at the start of their relationship in 2007.
”I used to go on the websites and it was always either how I was his beard, or how he paid his past serious girlfriends, or how he was with some new model. Oh my god, I would read everything.”
John admits their relationship got serious pretty quickly after Chrissy starred in the video for his hit song ‘Stereo’.
“She just entertained the hell out of me, texting me. What people respond to in her tweets today was the same energy in those texts. I didn’t know that I wanted someone funny until I was actually with someone funny,” the singer admits.
John also touched on his complex relationship with Kanye West.
“I’m not trying to disown Kanye because I still love him and love everything we’ve done together creatively,” Legend told the publication. “But we were never the closest of friends.”
