John Legend loves all of his family—even when they’re rowdy.
In fact, the “All of Me” singer said he and wife Chrissy Teigen actually cherish the “chaos” their four kids Luna, 9, Miles, 7, Esti, 2, and Wren, 2, bring to the home.
“Having all that energy, love and laughter in the house is beautiful,” he exclusively toldE! News’ Francesca Amiker at the Black Music Action Coalition Gala in Los Angeles Sept. 18. “Everybody’s walking. Everybody’s talking.”
However, it helps when his older children can release some of that energy at school, too.
“We’re fortunate that three of them are now at the same school, so it makes drop-off and pick-up a little easier,” the 46-year-old quipped. “It’s chaotic, but it’s a nice kind of chaos.”
And after 12 years of marriage, John and Chrissy, 39, have been through so much that they believe there’s nothing they can’t face together.
“We have four beautiful babies and we’ve also had tragedy together,” John shared, referencing to the cookbook author’s pregnancy loss with their son Jack in 2020. “It’s wonderful to be in a relationship with somebody that you can go through all of that with and have each other’s back.”
He continued, “We’ve been through all kinds of things together—the highs and the lows—and as you mature, you grow in yourself.”
And with their little ones growing up fast, John said he and Chrissy often “think about how we can live better lives, be better to ourselves and to our loved ones.”
“A lot of my music is about making people feel good and spreading love,” he explained, “but I also know that I have a platform to spread light.”
That’s why he was honored when the Black Music Action Coalition named him the recipient of this year’s Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award.
“I don’t want to waste that opportunity, so I’m going to use it to tell the truth,” John added. “To try to make an impact in this world—just like a lot of the artists I grew up loving and admiring.”
