John Legend reassured fans that his wife, Chrissy Teigen, will recover well following a recent neck injury. During a live episode of The Voice, the 45-year-old singer spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the incident, explaining that Teigen ended up in a neck brace after attempting to mimic their 8-year-old daughter, Luna Simone.
“She hurt her neck trying to be, like, an acrobat — that she’s not,” Legend said. “Sometimes she’s daring and she’ll try things.” “I think she may have been watching Luna too much,” Legend elucidated. “[Luna has] been doing like real gymnastics. But [Chrissy] got in her head that she could try this and it was not a good idea,” he continued.
Moreover, the All of Me singer guaranteed fans that his wife was okay, adding, “She’s much better now.” Teigen first shared her photo with a neck collar before the Met Gala, sparking fans’ concerns.
“@ the MET!,” she noted on a Instagram story at the time, marking the day of the 2024 Met Gala. The mother-of-four then asserted to her followers that her injury wasn’t as bad as it looked, stating, “I’m fine. I’m okay.”
“It’s a CVS neck brace,” she said. “And I just can’t rotate my neck ‘cause I tried to do a headstand and it didn’t go well. That’s all.” “There’s no story, I promise,” she added before unveiling that she never intended to go to the Met Gala. “This is not why I’m not at the Met,” Teigen said. “I was never going to the Met this year. Please.”
The couple has three other children: Miles Theodore, aged 5, Esti Maxine, who is 16 months old, and Wren Alexander, who is 10 months old. Despite the unexpected mishap, Legend emphasized that Teigen is doing fine and on the road to recovery. This episode highlights the playful and sometimes unpredictable nature of family life, even for celebrities like the Legends.
As they continue to navigate parenting and their respective careers, Legend’s reassurance about Teigen’s well-being offers comfort to their fans and underscores the supportive and caring dynamic within their family.
