Fans love the relationship between Chrissy Teigen and singer John Legend. They especially love trying to guess what music has Chrissy as its inspiration.

However, there is an uncomfortable detail behind the first song that he wrote with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model as his muse, and John spilled the details during a Reddit AMA.

John Legend Wrote "Good Morning" About A Morning With Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen was the muse behind the song "Good Morning," which was the first song he wrote about her

In June 2015, John Legend was on a tour through Europe and decided to host an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit. An “Ask Me Anything” is when users submit questions through a forum and a person, usually a celebrity, chooses which questions to answer.

John Legend responded to a question asking what the first song he wrote for Chrissy Teigen was and what inspired the song. Legend revealed that the first song he wrote for his wife was “Good Morning” and was inspired by an intimate morning that they shared together.

The lyrics of the song seem to reveal the couple's bedroom habits, something that, looking back, is a bit uncomfy. In the introduction, Legend sings, “Good morning love. It’s my favorite long song. I waited all night long.” The lyrics go on to say, “If I could plan the perfect day, love, then I would start it just like this.”

At the end of the song, Legend sings, “Let’s get lost together. I will smile together.” The two certainly seem to have spent “forever” together, as they met on the set of his “Stereo” music video in 2006 and tied the knot in Italy in 2013.

While John might have had pure intentions in sharing the details behind the song, fans in the AMA devolved into jokes about John's prowess in the bedroom, but Legend was long gone from Reddit by that time.

"Good Morning" Was Not The Only John Legend Song That Chrissy Teigen Inspired

Chrissy Teigen was the inspiration behind John Legend's hit song "All Of Me"

Chrissy Teigen has had a heavy influence on John Legend’s music ever since she was cast in the video for his song “Stereo” in 2006. The two became engaged in 2011 and tied the knot in 2013. That same year, Legend released his album Love In The Future only two weeks before they got married.

The biggest hit from the music video was the song “All of Me,” which clearly used Chrissy Teigen as an inspiration. The chorus seems to allude to their upcoming nuptials, with Legend singing, “Give your all to me; I’ll give my all to you.”

He even calls Teigen his “muse” in the song, singing, “You’re my downfall, you’re my muse, my worst distraction, my rhythm and blues.” The music video for the song makes it clear that the song is about his wife, as it features footage from their wedding. They even brought the “Stereo” director back to direct this music video as well.

In 2013, a few months before they got married, Chrissy Teigen admitted that she knew “All Of Me” was about her after hearing just the first line of the song. The first line of the song is “What would I do without your smart mouth?” It prompted Teigen to joke, “If that’s not about me, I don’t know what is.”

“I did cry when I heard it,” she admitted in an interview with The Huffington Post that same year. “I’m emotional, but I really don’t cry at things like that. But yeah. It’s beautiful and live? It’s pretty unreal.”

Fans know that Chrissy Teigen can be emotional due to the social media controversies she's been involved in over the years, but John Legend has usually taken to social media to defend his wife when appropriate.

Of course, given that the very first tongue-in-cheek line in John's "All of Me" refers to Chrissy's smart mouth, the rumors of an impending split make more sense.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's Relationship May Not Be 'Forever' After All

Fans think that John Legend and Chrissy Teigen might be ready to call it quits

Many fans loved watching John Legend on The Voice. On the reality TV show, Legend served as a mentor to many aspiring artists. However, fans believe that Chrissy Teigen is the reason John Legend left The Voice.

Legend told Entertainment Tonight that he has “got so many things going on” that he had to take time away from The Voice in order to accommodate his busy schedule. “I’ll be doing a lot of shows this summer and traveling overseas this summer,” the singer said in the spring of 2024.

He also expressed excitement to invite “some new people into The Voice family,” including his replacement, Snoop Dogg. He said that Snoop’s introduction to the reality show will “reinvigorate” the show and potentially attract a new fan base.

Although he also discussed his children in the wide-ranging interview, fans couldn’t help but notice that he mentioned very little about Chrissy Teigen. Given that he has never been shy about gushing over his wife, fans were suspicious that their relationship may not be as strong as it once was.

He even tried breaking up with her once before when he was “really stressed and busy,” but Chrissy said she wouldn’t let him do it. The incident occurred early on in their relationship when he was sick on tour, but Teigen says that she will never let him live it down.

“I always joke, ‘Remember when you tried to break up with me?’” she recalled. “He’s like, ‘Yes, sorry. Big mistake.’”
