John Legend says wife Chrissy’s postpartum depression strengthened their relationship

November 15, 2019

People’s Sexiest Man Alive is John Legend. I get pretty turned on by talent so I’m willing to throw my support behind this. Plus, not only is John always so well-dressed, he speaks up for his convictions and those are also on my sexy checklist. Of course, another incredibly sexy attribute is “devoted partner” and I think we all know where John falls on that scale. He discussed his relationship with wife Chrissy Teigen in his SMA interview and what he said was beautiful. Specifically, what he said about going through their infertility struggles and Chrissy’s postpartum depression John said it strengthened their bond once they got out the other side.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s beautiful family looks picture-perfect on social media, but the couple’s journey to parenthood wasn’t easy.
The supermodel-turned-TV host, 33, first surprised fans when she revealed in 2015 that she and Legend had been trying for years to become pregnant. Then two years later Teigen opened up in a moving essay about her heartbreaking battle with postpartum depression after their daughter Luna, now 3½, was born.
“[Parenthood] deepens your love for your partner because you see them in a different light going through, in our case, the trouble of actually having a kid,” says Legend, 40, who’s also dad to 18-month-old son Miles.
“Then Chrissy’s going through postpartum depression. You just see different sides of that person, and if you go through it and you learn from it and you come out the other end better for it, then it deepens and strengthens your relationship.”

If I didn’t agree with his SMA before, this would’ve pushed me over the edge for sure. Discussing the toll infertility or PPD takes on a relationship is not as common as discussing the toll it takes on the individual. And to hear John say it put Chrissy in another, better, stronger light for him is heartwarming. I was so incredibly grateful to my husband when I was struggling hormonally following my son’s birth, I whole-heartedly co-sign John’s comments. I honestly don’t have anything to add because, as always, he found the perfect words to convey it, “if you go through it and you learn from it and you come out the other end better for it, then it deepens and strengthens your relationship.”

Speaking of Chrissy, she’s having a blast with the SMA announcement. If you don’t follow her on Twitter, I suggest you at least check her out.
