John Legend Says He “Gains 5 Pounds Guaranteed” When Wife Chrissy Teigen Cooks

ABC/Rick PowellWhat’s it like being married to supermodel Chrissy Teigen? Well for one thing, John Legend never goes hungry. The singer says that his foodie wife, who’s working on her first cookbook, likes to test out recipes on him.

“When she’s working on it and I’m home I gain 5 pounds guaranteed,” he tells People. “So, I’m like, sometimes I need to travel so I can lose weight!”

John says that out of all the meals he’s tried so far, Chrissy’s buffalo chicken dip is his favorite. “It’s kind of like when people do those artichoke dips but it’s got buffalo chicken and cheese and all these other things in it, too,” he says. “It’s really, really delicious. Chrissy is obviously a great cook.”

It’s no surprise then that these two are fabulous hosts. John, who recently partnered with Stella Artois for their “Host Beautifully” campaign, says “we pride ourselves on having good get-togethers.”

Chrissy takes care of the menu, while John makes sure the music is on point. “Music is key. I always do our playlist and try to get a good mix of hip-hop and I’ll do some classic up-tempo soul music and throw in a little bit of rock,” he says.

Then, of course, you need a good guest list. “Hopefully you can invite a good group of interesting, diverse people that are kind and cool and know how to engage with new people,” he adds. “If you have all those things together you’ve got a good party.”
