How Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Keep Their Marriage Thriving After 12 Years Together
Flawless imperfections abound in marriages. Ask Chrissy Teigen. The Star Search judge continues to show the "All of Me" singer how much she cares by doing "little things" in their relationship twelve years after she and husband John Legend exchanged vows.
As she phrased it in jest, "For all he knows, I have never farted or pooped."
"You got to keep the sexy and preserve the sexy in a little bit of ways," at the Netflix talent competition's January 20 debut, she revealed in an exclusive interview with news host Erin Lim Rhodes of The Rundown. "I won't say that John necessarily does that all the time, but I make sure that I do."

Sarah Michelle Gellar, her co-star on Star Search, concurs, joking in their joint interview that the key to her and husband Freddie Prinze Jr.'s own 23-year marriage is "separate bathrooms."
However, the former cast member of Buffy the Vampire Slayer offered Chrissy more than just dating guidance. As a mother of 16-year-old Charlotte and 13-year-old Rocky, she urged the author of the Cravings cookbook to let her, and John's children find their own passions.
Sarah said, "When they find their 'thing,' you know," following the mother of four Luna, the 10-year-old daughter of Chrissy and John, is "all over the place" when it comes to her interests, Chrissy said. "They tell you."
Rocky actually "wants to be an F1 driver," the actress from I Know What You Did Last Summer went on. "That's his dream. He studies cars and he holds the record at every K1 in Los Angeles."
What hobbies does Luna currently have?
"She loves ice skating, she loves dance, she loves cooking," Chrissy disclosed. "Every Sunday morning, she's down at the rink. She loves it, but there's nothing that she really wants to devote her entire life to."
