No, the reason why Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are the embodiment of dreamy modern love is because the two share a wickedly witty sense of humor that keeps their rom com-esque romance from heading into saccharine territory. Chrissy shoulders most of this responsibility by burning her husband at every opportunity she can, whether by trolling him on Twitter or burning him with her Instagram captions— and thankfully, for our entertainment, John’s an exceptionally good sport about it. We’ve rounded up all the most memorable times that Chrissy’s owned John on social media below — read on for some epic mean tweets and hilarious Instagrams. Chrissy had some strong thoughts about John’s style choices in the past. Trolling or flirting? You be the judge. > [](https://twitter.com/johnlegend/status/394302658716377088) Even when she has a rare moment of sappiness, Chrissy keeps it real about John. Chrissy is candid about being generally unimpressed with John’s many honors. And she knows that the key to a successful relationship is keeping the spark — and anxiety — alive. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/504427837487456256) Her tactics to make sure that she is the only love of John’s life are unparalleled. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/505774795037106177) Lest you forget where John’s most beloved song came from, Chrissy is here to remind both you and him. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/541073041091219456) She’s also conscientious about capturing all of John’s most embarrassing moments and kind enough to share them with all of us. If John wasn’t embarrassed about crying before, Chrissy definitely made sure that he was after this. Chrissy subtly dropped a few hints about her husband via Twitter. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/580884891996323840) Even the birth of their adorable baby girl couldn’t stop Chrissy from burning John on Twitter. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/721773934241132544) Even when it comes to John’s sense of style, Chrissy couldn’t help but give him a gentle ribbing by asking GQ to acknowledge how dapper he looked on a red carpet. > [](https://twitter.com/johnlegend/status/739512517190242304) John, has, on occasion, shown that he can dish back the trolling like the best of them. > [](https://twitter.com/johnlegend/status/766375364545409024) When it came to John singing the National Anthem, Chrissy seems to prefer the guidelines of [Kendrick Lamar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA1sf02FtU8): Sit down…Be humble. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/770866560944582656) For all her trolling, however, don’t worry — divorce isn’t in their future. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/812061345067634688) And of course, there was this. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/812482617798840320) There was the time that Chrissy teased John about the typo on his name card at the Golden Globes. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/818270677098631168) Even her subtweets of John are legendary. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/820801017600053248) And the time that she saw through his plots to thwart her success on the piano. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/820836774507220992) One time, she trolled him like one of her Internet haters, complete with fitting GIF use. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/822665180974825473) And the time that she helped the Internet troll him with an A grade meme. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/834143194619138048) She also knows how to get on his nerves and exercises her right to do so. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/835745012495208449) John didn’t just have to worry about the Internet trolls coming for him after he lost his bag at the airport — the person who roasted him the most was his wife. > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/845361053437313024) And just for the record, John is definitely not Chrissy’s favorite singer on _The Voice_, something he’s well aware of. > [](https://twitter.com/johnlegend/status/846707257169526784) > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/846582139785175045) In retaliation for John dancing with a fan, Chrissy got matching henna back tattoos with a random stranger — and thankfully for us, Snapchatted the entire thing. Of course, who could forget Teigen’s dedication to carrying on the Internet’s firmly-held belief that John has an uncanny resemblance to Arthur? > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/834143194619138048) Something that she’s revived on multiple occasions, including when John got an Emmy and completed his coveted EGOT. Even the couple’s wedding anniversary isn’t safe from Chrissy’s lighthearted ribbing. The couple recently celebrated 5 years of marriage, but Chrissy took John to task for his new gig on _The Voice_. ## Transcript [00:00] Well, [ LAUGH ]. Quiet on the set. Okay, if I were [00:05] to describe what's happening in the world right now, I think [00:08] there's a real struggle going on between whether fear is [00:10] going to win or love is going to win. [ MUSIC ] I'm [00:16] concerned about what's happening in America, when it [00:19] comes to race and racism. Obviously, I was very [00:22] disappointed with the outcome of the last election. And I [00:25] feel like our current president is actively working to take the [00:29] country in the wrong direction. But, I'm also heartened by [00:33] the response that the American people have shown. [00:35] [ MUSIC ] [00:39] I've seen the activists in [ UNKNOWN ] streets. I've [00:41] participated in marches. I've seen really a surge of [00:46] Interest in the political system and I think that's a positive [00:49] and powerful thing. It makes me a bit more optimistic then I [00:52] would have been otherwise. My inspirations are people like [00:56] Harry Belafonte, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Paul [00:59] Robeson. Artist that I've looked up to over the years have [01:02] always had beautiful art that reflects what's going on in the [01:05] world. And speaks out about issues that they care about. [01:07] [ MUSIC ] I think art has a very [01:12] important role to play in making [01:16] us see each as human and so a lot of what we do as [01:21] artists, as producers, as content creators, as storytellers, is [01:25] try to bridge The [ UNKNOWN ] by helping us feel what [01:30] someone else might feel [ MUSIC ] I wrote [01:35] a song called ordinary people way back in 2004 [01:40] and it's about the ups and downs that couples go through, [01:44] that family goes through and I think all of us go through [01:47] that. We're just ordinary [01:51] [ MUSIC ] My wife just wrote very candidly about the things [01:55] she went through with post partum depression and dealing [01:59] with the aftermath of having a child. We're very happy in [02:01] our relationship and very happy to be parents but like [02:05] everybody else we're human and We have challenges, [02:08] and so no one should think that our lives are perfect. Hi. [02:13] [ SOUND ]. We're like other parents. We're excited [02:17] to post pictures of our babies. [ LAUGH ] When [02:21] we're having a great time and we capture a good moment, [02:23] we wanna share it with our friends. We're just being as [02:26] natural as we can be in that kind of Surreal world. [02:30] [ LAUGH ]. That looks pretty good.
