Chrissy Teigen: Little things matter

At the Jan. 20 premiere of Netflixompetition Star Search, Chrissy Teigen told E! News she and husband John Legend keep their marriage alive with small, deliberate acts. “You got to keep the sexy and preserve the sexy in a little bit of ways,” she said, adding with a laugh, “For all he knows, I have never farted or pooped.”

Keeping intimacy simple

Teigen framed the secret as everyday effort rather than dramatic gestures. She said she makes sure to maintain romantic moments and playfulness in their relationship, even amid busy family life and careers. “I won’t say that John necessarily does that all the time, but I make sure that I do,” she told host Erin Lim Rhodes.

Family life and parenting

Chrissy and John share four children: Luna, Miles, Esti and Wren. The couple celebrated milestones together in recent years, from a vow renewal in Lake Como to family vacations and public posts announcing new additions. Teigen frequently shares family moments on social media, balancing candid home life with public appearances.

Let kids find their passions

During the joint interview, Teigen’s Star Search co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar offered parenting advice based on her own experience. Gellar quipped that the secret to her 23-year marriage with Freddie Prinze Jr. is “separate bathrooms,” and encouraged Teigen to let her children explore interests at their own pace. Gellar, a mom to teenagers, urged patience: “When they find their ‘thing,’ you know. They tell you.”

Photos and social posts

Chrissy and John document much of their family journey on Instagram, sharing photos from vacations, newborn announcements and day-to-day life. A few notable posts include their announcement of son Wren and the introduction of daughter Esti. See the family posts here:

Balancing careers and connection

Both Teigen and Legend juggle demanding careers—Teigen as a judge on Star Search and author, Legend as a performer—while making time for their family. Their approach centers on small daily rituals, humor and intentional romance rather than grand declarations.

Bottom line

After 12 years of marriage, Chrissy Teigen says preserving intimacy is about the details: thoughtful gestures, playfulness and making romance a regular part of life. For the Legend-Teigen household, those choices help keep their relationship strong as they raise four children and maintain busy public lives.
