Chrissy Teigen: John Legend ‘is insanely patient and such a dork’

InStyle Nov17

Model, cookbook author and social media enthusiast Chrissy Teigen is on the cover of the November issue of InStyle, taking her oversharing to the print medium. The 31-year-old used the interview to talk about everything from her recent bout with postpartum depression to her hopes for a baby brother or sister for Luna, her beautiful daughter with hubby John Legend.

When it comes to her social media presence, Chrissy admitted, “sometimes I don’t even realize I’m oversharing,” and recalled taking a break from Twitter, making her account private because online haters made posting “too much to handle.” She went on to say, “I really do understand why some people never post anything ever.” If you’re a fan of Chrissy’s, the interview is packed with lots other trademark candidness and humor. Here are a few highlights:

On not taking herself too seriously:
“If you share everything and make fun of yourself, then other people won’t make the joke, because you’ve already made it.”

On maintaining a healthy relationship with John Legend:
“I’m much luckier to have John’s personality in my life than he is to have mine. He is insanely patient and such a dork, and he loves seeing me happy, even if that means watching The Real Housewives of Dallas with me for two and a half hours. I mean, I don’t care about half the s— he’s doing either. But there’s a balance.”

On realizing her postpartum depression:
“It wasn’t just a mental thing of, you know, ‘I’m sad.’ I actually couldn’t move. I have really good days and really bad days, and I don’t tend to talk about the really bad days. But I would hate for people to think those day’s didn’t exist.”

As for her aspirations to have another child, Chrissy told the magazine that she and John were planning to once again use in vitro fertilization to conceive. She admitted that she wished she had extracted more eggs when she underwent fertility treatments prior to giving birth to Luna. In fact, the embryo that Chrissy will soon have implanted is the last of 20 embryos that the couple began their initial round of IVF. From the 20 embryos the couple began with, Chrissy said that only three were found to be “good for my body” and, as she explained, “The first little girl didn’t work, and then the second is Luna.”

Before expanding her family, Chrissy is expanding her brand, with an upcoming collaboration with fashion retailer Revolve. Chrissy teased the new line with a post on Instagram. There’s been little details on what the new collaboration entails, but if includes those boots she’s wearing in this photo, I am all in.

Oh, and, as a follow-up to “banana gate”, Chrissy posted the banana bread recipe she needed those bananas for on Instagram last week. I had to share, because the sounds absolutely delicious. Girl, you can share stuff like this all day long.

    I love them. I love her vulnerability. I love his smarts and using his platform to condemn Trump. They are awesome. That is all

    She always seems so thirsty, it’s good he’s patient.

    • Alix says:

      Yep. If it weren’t for social media, what would she do all day besides overshare?

      • Dally says:

        Besides, like, the cookbook, and the magazine interviews, and the photo shoots, and taking care of a baby, and spending time watching hours of real housewives, and trying to deal with postpartum depression. And even for a model looking that good all the time must take a fair amount of work.

    I hope the last of the three is a sticky baby for them. I can’t imagine the personal hell she has gone through to give them a baby.

  4. Patricia says:

    This reminds me of my husband. He’s so extremely good natured and sometimes I don’t know why he wants to be around my grumpy ass. But he makes me strive to be a better, more patient person.
    She’s lucky, any woman who can speak this way of her husband is blessed. She overshares quite a bit but I don’t find her exhausting like Kristen Bell.

  5. Sarah B says:

    I have her cookbook Cravings and it is really good! I actually started following her at first because of her cooking and recipes on instagram. I’m pleasantly surprised. I don’t think I will ever get sick of her, honestly. I just like her. She may be thirsty, but her thirst is hilarious and honest. I appreciate that.

    I feel like their divorce is imminent

    To survive with someone as tiring as her you have no choice BUT to be patient and a dork..
