So to celebrate their fifth anniversary, it’s [only natural](http://time.com/5318564/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-arthur-meme-trolling/) that each would share a social media post dedicated to the other. But in the midst of their loving messages, both Teigen and freshly-crowned [EGOT winner](http://time.com/5391734/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-egot-win/) Legend managed to pull off a masterful twist, hilariously trolling each other while not-so-subtly advertising for both of their upcoming projects. If that’s not timeless celebrity love, what is? It started with model, mother and cookbook author Teigen, who posted a beautiful photo of the two on their wedding day. “12 years ago today, I met the man of my dreams. And 5 years ago today, we got married,” she captioned the image. “We have two babies and some pups and a life I am grateful to have. My everything, I love you and am so proud of the story we’ve created.” And then the zinger: “But you are an a–hole for releasing your [@nbcthevoice](https://www.instagram.com/nbcthevoice/) news on my target launch day for real.” (Legend has just signed on to be one of the celebrity judges on the popular reality show.) Then, about an hour later, [Legend](http://time.com/5280376/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-baby-announcement/) had his own response: “What can I say on a day like today?” he began. “I could talk about the 12 beautiful years I’ve known you. I could talk about the 5 years of wedded bliss, the 2 wonderful children we’ve brought into this world. But I feel the urge to say something far more important. I LOVE your new kitchenware line at [@Target](https://www.instagram.com/Target/). I can’t wait for it to come out on September 30th. I’m so proud of everything you’ve done in your career and how much joy you bring to people’s lives. Did I mention that your Cravings Cookbook is coming out Tuesday? Because it’s coming out Tuesday. I love you, baby.” It’s quite a comeback. Here’s hoping the duo enjoy a lovely date night — and don’t worry too much about overlapping project launches. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5396853/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-anniversary/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5396853/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-anniversary/"},"headline":"Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Celebrate Their Anniversary With Supportive Trolling","datePublished":"2018-09-14T19:32:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:54:52.644Z","description":"12 years ago today, I met the man of my dreams.
