John Legend Is Named 2019’s Sexiest Man Alive And His Wife Chrissy Teigen Can’t Stop Trolling Him

What makes a person sexy? Looks, talent, the image one presents to the public, and how we accordingly perceive their personality all play into why we find ourselves attracted to certain celebrities and public figures.

Every year, People magazine attempts to put it all together when they name the “Sexiest Man Alive,” and this year, the magazine has decided that accomplished musician John Legend has the full package. He seemed a little bewildered by the announcement – we’re not sure if he would like to name this dubious honor alongside his ten Grammy awards and the numerous other entertainment accolades his compositions have earned him – but gratefully thanked the magazine. His wife, television host, and Twitter enthusiast Chrissy Teigen, appears to be having the most fun with the news. She particularly enjoyed trolling, teasing, and making fun of him for the title. And isn’t that what makes up the foundation of all the best celebrity relationships?

“All downhill from here,” Chrissy replied when her husband thanked People for the title in a tweet. She then interviewed her and John’s 1-year-old and 3-year-old children, who, predictably, did not care in the slightest about their dad’s sexiness being recognized by America’s largest celebrity news outlet. Despite promising to make fun of John when he came home, she couldn’t hide her excitement over the opportunities for Twitter comedy that the award has opened up for her. Her bio now proudly states that she is sleeping with the Sexiest Man Alive, and a mundane moment like her husband making lunch for her has become “the sexiest man alive just made me a ham sandwich.”

Teigen’s also not concerned about critics of the title. While the announcement of Sexiest Man Alive has comment sections questioning People’s methodology every year, because the magazine inevitably can’t please everybody when discussing such a subjective topic as sex appeal, she can only laugh at the controversy.

Congratulations to 2019’s Sexiest Man Alive, John Legend, and congratulations to Chrissy and the rest of the family on a good-natured roast well-done.

The pair has been together for a long time and their relationship is stronger than ever. Teigen and Legend met in 2006 while the music video for ‘Stereo’ was being produced. The couple dated for four years before Legend proposed to Teigen in December 2011. After nearly two years of being engaged, the couple got married in September 2013. Their daughter, Luna, was born in 2016, while their son, Miles, came into this world in 2018.

But Chrissy wasn’t going to stop

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

Lili ended up in Vilnius, Lithuania out of her curiosity for studying languages, and stayed here out of sheer willpower. She loves cats maybe even a little more than the internet average and enjoys cooking videos despite only fantasizing about being able to make anything more complicated than fried rice.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

Well, Chrissy is clearly mega-impressed with it and herself for being with him. I don't like these kinds of polls anyway tbh, for men or women. It's all subjective.

It's a lovely couple who make fun of themselves in a healthy way. But I don't find him sexy at all, tbh

I think he's sexy because he's intelligent, passionate about social issues, and a highly merited musician. Maybe People isn't just going off of abs...just sayin
