Yahoo Lifestyle John Legend Hints at Huge Move With Wife Chrissy Teigen and 4 Kids After LA Wildfires
John Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, are proud Angelinos—the two live in a sprawling house in Beverly Hills where they’re raising their four children.
But despite the love they have for their Los Angeles home, as evidenced by Teigen’s regular updates on social media, from the elaborate meals cooked in their kitchen to the colorful classroom they built for their kids at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Legend says they’re considering putting down roots elsewhere.
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, the 13-time Grammy winner revealed that he and Teigen are considering moving their family back to the East Coast after the devastating wildfires in California last month.
“Chrissy and I have always considered returning to New York, where we once lived. We probably will, once our youngest ones grow up a bit,” Legend shared.
Legend and Teigen are parents to daughters Luna, 8, and Esti, 2, and sons Miles, 6, and Wren, 1.
“Every time nature shows its wrath, we wonder if it’s time to head back east. Who knows?” he continued, explaining that when the fires expanded on Jan. 9, “the danger felt too close for comfort.”
The family fled the flames, said Legend. “That night, my wife and I gathered our four kids, four dogs and bearded dragon and drove south to a hotel in Carlsbad. We didn’t return until the following week.”
Legend shared that the family’s home “was safe, but many weren’t so fortunate, and the threat still looms. The fires were a collective trauma that shook everyone, including our kids.”
Teigen documented the family’s harrowing experience on social media, announcing that they were evacuating on Wednesday, Jan. 8. The model and cookbook author shared a mirror selfie on Instagram Stories that showed a visibly emotional Teigen standing in a closet getting ready to pack essentials. “This is surreal I’m very scared now. packing,” she captioned the snap.
