On top of being the "Sexiest Man Alive," you can call John Legend the "Most Supportive Husband."
The singer just opened up about his wife, Chrissy Teigen's, previous battle with postpartum depression and how going through that actually "strengthened" their relationship.
Like many couples, they struggled with getting pregnant. Then, afterward, Chrissy dealt with postpartum depression.
Thankfully, John can now say that all of these struggles have "strengthened" their relationship.
After struggling in private for so long, she spoke out about it on her former talk show, FABLife.
These infertility issues led to the couple, who wed in 2013, to rely on IVF treatments to get pregnant.
Thankfully, Chrissy is a clapback pro!
It was just the beginning of Teigen's difficult battle with postpartum depression.
She wrote that it was when she returned from maternity leave to host Lip Sync Battle that she began noticing symptoms.
“I didn’t have an appetite. I would go two days without a bite of food, and you know how big of a deal food is for me.”
This eventually led her to postpone the release of her second Cravings cookbook because "the idea of having to test and taste recipes actually made me vomit.”
“He’s exactly as compassionate, patient, loving and understanding as he seems,” she wrote.
“For me as a husband, it was my job to do the best I could to support her and understand what she was going through and do whatever I could do to help her. I feel like that’s the least I could do."
“I’m glad she wrote about it,” he shared. “I think it was powerful for her to let a lot of women know they’re not alone, and no matter how much money you have or fame, anybody can feel that. And it’s hard for anybody no matter how successful you are and how many resources you have.”
“[Parenthood] deepens your love for your partner because you see them in a different light going through, in our case, the trouble of actually having a kid,” he said.
"You just see different sides of that person, and if you go through it and you learn from it and you come out the other end better for it, then it deepens and strengthens your relationship.”
Spoiler: it all has to do with lots of laughter and music!
“I love seeing my kids discover music and playing on the piano with them. They make us laugh all the time. Luna has a sense of actual comedy."
"We hang out together all the time. I love taking her to school and I’ll take her to lunch just the two of us a lot.”
Andddd in other news, Teigen just shared that she has officially "boned" the "Sexiest Man Alive."
You go, girl!
