John Legend Opens Up About Marriage to Chrissy Teigen

(Radio.com) In a new interview with Cosmopolitan, John Legend opened up about his marriage to Chrissy Teigen. The couple, who have been together since 2007 (and married since 2013) welcomed their first child Luna last year.

Legend said surmounting fertility obstacles tested their relationship, and brought them closer together than ever before. "Having a baby is a big challenge for a couple," he said. "Going through that together strengthens your bond because if you make it through [having a child], you know you can make it through anything."

Legend says that experience is "especially difficult" when "you can't conceive naturally." He and Teigen sought fertility treatments (specifically in-vitro fertilization) to conceive Luna.

"You want to feel like everything's working properly and want everything to be perfect, but sometimes it's not. I wouldn't say we can't conceive naturally, but I would say that it's enough of a challenge where it felt like we needed help�We're lucky that we're living in an age where we can conceive in other ways. [IVF] brought us Luna and hopefully it will bring us a few more awesome kids too." Read more here.

It lets you know: Hey, tomorrow's not promised to anyone. But you say, 'God, why him?'" Read more here.
