Responding to a prediction that the couple’s relationship wouldn’t last more than five years, Teigen quipped, “Well we’ve been together for 11 so what was the monetary wager there?” The Twitter user then made the unwise decision to double down on his claim, tweeting that he was willing to bet “10 bucks” she and Legend won’t make it past 2020\. Of course, this only created the perfect opportunity for Teigen to deliver one of her signature burns. “I’ll bet you 1,000 your mom yells at the Genius Bar,” she replied. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/837463182973132801) > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/837464068445261824) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4690893/chrissy-teigen-comeback/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4690893/chrissy-teigen-comeback/"},"headline":"Chrissy Teigen Had the Perfect Comeback to Shade About Her Marriage to John Legend","datePublished":"2017-03-03T22:07:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:41:37.565Z","description":"Don't mess with the queen of Twitter","url":"https://time.com/4690893/chrissy-teigen-comeback/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","celebrities","twitter","Chrissy Teigen","john legend"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4690893/chrissy-teigen-comeback/","name":"Chrissy Teigen Had the Perfect Comeback to Shade About Her Marriage to John Legend"}}]}] ```
