A Complete Timeline of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's Love Story

If there's a couple out there that toes the line between relatable and total #relationshipgoals, its Chrissy Teigen and her EGOT-winning People's Sexiest Man Alive husband, John Legend. Through the honors, the kiddos, and all everything that goes down in Teigen's very uncensored social media feeds, they've managed to keep it real with their jokes, supportive comments, and super-romantic banter. Here's how it all went down and how the couple earned its spot in everyone's hearts.

September 2006

Teigen and Legend meet on the set of the music video for his track "Stereo." Teigen would go on to say that they never said good-bye. She told Cosmopolitan that after the shoot, they got In-N-Out and "hooked up."

2007

Legend and Teigen broke up, but only for a day. Sure, it sounds like a gimmick, but it's a story that Teigen isn't shy about sharing.

"I was on tour with him and he’d gotten sick," Teigen told Cosmopolitan in 2016. "He was feeling really bummed and stressed out. He was like, 'I can't be in a relationship right now.' That lasted for one day. Literally, a day. I knew it came from a place other than us not working. It was the stress of him having to maybe cancel a show, and he had never been in a real relationship — or so he says now. I always joke, 'Remember when you tried to break up with me?' He’s like, 'Yes, sorry. Big mistake.'"

Chalk it up to that work ethic, because Legend explained that they spent a lot of time talking on the phone and texting, since he was so, so busy.

"I fell in love with her over the phone because she is good with those 140 characters," Legend told Entertainment Tonight in a 2016 interview. "We were texting a lot, and I started to see her sense of humor. We would talk on the phone, and I started to fall in love with how engaging and witty and funny she is."

Of course, everyone wanted to know how serious things were, but Teigen brushed it off.

"Marriage was never my goal," she said in the same Cosmo feature, "because I've never been very traditional. I was just happy to be with him."

The couple also make it Lake Como-official (it's a Thing). In a throwback post, Teigen said that she made a very special wish on that trip — and it would later come true.

"A boat tour guide took us to a little spot on the lake and told us to make a wish," Teigen shared on Instagram. "I asked for this to be the man I marry and have children with. I think John asked for the most perfect bite of cacio e pepe. Both came true, and here we are."

Legend proposes to Teigen in the Maldives right around Christmas. Naturally, Teigen has a story about how it wasn't exactly a fairy-tale-worthy moment.

Legend has a story about it, too, saying that the whole thing could have been derailed by airport security.

"[The ring] was in my carry-on bag going through airport security, and security wanted to look through my bag and they wanted to look in that particular box," Legend said on Oprah’s Next Chapter. "And Chrissy was standing right next to me and I was, like, 'Oh, my God. I've hid it so well this whole time. Now as we’re just about to get to the Maldives she's going to find out I have a ring in this box and it’s going to ruin the surprise and I'll have to get on my knees in the airport.'"

"The first line of it is, 'What would I do without your smart mouth,' so if that's not about me I don't know what is," Teigen told Huffington Post . "I did cry when I heard it. I'm emotional, but like I don't really don't cry at things like that so yeah, it was beautiful. And live it's pretty unreal."
