John Legend pays a visit to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Tuesday, and the singer-songwriter dishes about wife Chrissy Teigen’s tweeting, his new gig as a coach on “The Voice”, and performs his powerful new single, “Preach”. Admitting his wife “is funnier and cooler than me,” Legend discusses Teigen’s hilarious tweets, revealing that she will occasionally run her tweets by him before posting them — unless they have to do with him. “We’ll sit next to each other on the couch and she’ll have this devilish look on her face,” says Legend. “You know, like she’s conniving some kind of devious plan, and then the tweet will go out, and I’ll just look over and go [chuckles wryly] ‘Uh huh, that’s funny. '” In addition, the father of two tells DeGeneres about how his lookalike son, Miles, doesn’t always get along with his big sister, Luna, who sometimes becomes jealous of the attention he receives.

And if that’s not enough for one TV appearance, Legend also takes to the stage to perform his recently released single, “Preach” — watch:<doc-sep>Michael Rozman/Warner Bros./Getty "She runs some tweets by me, but she never runs the ones when she's talking about me," Legend tells Ellen. Chrissy Teigen's tweets about John Legend... are a thing of legend. And part of the fun for the couple, we just learned, is that Teigen likes to ambush her husband with the often cheek-flushing and hilarious posts. While appearing on "The Ellen Show" Tuesday, Legend or "Mr. EGOT" as Ellen called him, talked about his wife's iconic Twitter account and how much say he actually gets in the often embarrassing messages sent out to the world. To kick things off, Ellen shared some of Teigen's finest: "I like to send john nudes and say 'sorry wrong person" and "@johnlegend hey I'm alive it's fine you don't have to answer your phone I WOULDNT WANT U TO WORRY." "'I always have a note in my pocket that says 'john did it' just in case I'm murdered because I don't want him to remarry #truelove #tips,'" Ellen read and Legend replied, laughing, "I didn't do it though!" When asked if Teigen runs the tweets by Legend before posting, the singer replied, "She runs some tweets by me, but she never runs the ones when she's talking about me." "We're next to each other on the couch, and she'll have this devilish look on her face like she's conniving some kind of devious plan, and then the tweet will go out," he added. "And I just look at her like, 'Hahaha that's funny.'" Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media. Legend, 40, and Teigen, 33, share two adorable children: Luna, 2, and Miles, 9 months. While both kids look a lot like Legend, baby Miles is absolutely identical to Legend. "He looks exactly like you," Ellen said and Legend replied, "It's funny because he looks more like me as an adult than he looks like me as a baby. Like, he's me." The "All of Me" singer said that the kids get along "pretty well," but Luna does something interesting when she gets a little jealous. "She doesn't take it out on Miles," Legend said. "She just wants our attention more, so she'll just make more noise and when I'm holding Miles, she'll say, 'Daddy, hold me! Hold me too! Hold me too!' And then she laughs because she thinks it's so funny. She's like, 'You're holding two babies! Haha!'" "She's a little Chrissy," Ellen said and Legend replied, "She is though. She is." Ellen also spoke about when Teigen co-hosted the daytime talk show with Ellen and it looks like Legend wants to get in on the fun too. "You've never invited me to co-host," he told Ellen. "I've known you a lot longer than my wife has, Ellen. Are you saying she's funnier than me or cooler than me?" "Y'all are equally funny and cool. I'm asking you right now. Would you like to co-host one day?" Ellen asked and Legend replied, "Of course, I would love to!" We, for one, want this to happen sooner rather than later.<doc-sep>John Legend has a (very innocent) bone to pick with the Queen of Twitter, aka his wife, Chrissy Teigen. According to Just Jared, John Legend discussed Chrissy Teigen's Twitter antics on a recent episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is set to air on Feb. 19. He revealed that his wife runs some tweets by him but, when it pertains to him, the always-hilarious Lip Sync Battle host can get a bit "devious." Legend told host Ellen DeGeneres that Teigen doesn't exactly give him a heads up when it comes to any tweets related to him. “She runs some tweets by me but she never runs the ones when she’s talking about me, by me,” he said. But, if you thought that the singer was at all peeved about the lack of a heads up, you might want to think again. Like everyone else, he's totally here for his wife's hilarious tweets, even if they're about him. He continued to say: “We’re next to each other on the couch and she has this devilish look on her face, like she’s conniving some kind of devious plan and the tweet will go out and I’ll just look at her like, ‘Ha ha yeah that’s funny…’ She’s funny!” It's nice to hear that Legend has a good sense of humor about Teigen's tweets. Considering how strong their relationship appears to be, it's no surprise that the couple's able to keep things lighthearted and fun, especially when it comes to their social media shenanigans. Presley Ann/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Teigen and Legend's Twitter antics were on full display most recently on late Feb. 17. In case you weren't aware, you missed the Great Totino's Debate of 2019. The Lip Sync Battle host started things off by saying that she told her husband that she wasn't going to bring up the matter on Twitter. But, in her own words, "I lied here goes." Teigen explained to her followers that she was craving the kind of pizza she had during her "childhood" with some sliced tomato on top, so the couple decided to order some Totino's via Postmates. However, there was a bit of miscommunication about what exactly Totino's pizza entails. She went on to say that they went back and forth about the proper way to heat up the pizza before their delivery arrived. Once it did arrive, they realized that they had totally different ideas of what a Totino's pizza meant, as Legend had ordered pizza rolls. Teigen was "blown away" by the whole ordeal and was shocked to hear that her longtime love didn't know that Totino's made actual pizza and not just rolls. (In his defense, I, and many others who commented under the thread, had no idea that Totino's made actual pizza and I feel forever changed.) She went on to joke about the whole thing, saying that the couple was having "an actual fight" about the situation. But, seeing as though she got her classic pizza with tomato on it in the end, it's clear that all is well in the Teigen/Legend household once again. Given his recent comments, and Teigen's own tweets about the pizza drama, it's safe to say that she didn't run this latest thread by him before posting it on Twitter. But, considering the hilarity that ensued in just this one Totino's debacle, Legend is probably laughing right along with his wife's tweets about the whole matter, just like all of the couple's adoring fans.<doc-sep>
John Legend can’t take any credit for his wife Chrissy Teigen’s Twitter skills. The 10-time Grammy winner appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Tuesday, where he spoke about joining Season 16 of “The Voice” as a coach. But the host couldn’t resist asking Legend about his wife’s powerful ― and hilarious ― social media presence. The conversation couldn’t have been more topical, as Teigen helped ignite a Twitter debate this week with journalist Yashar Ali, who has contributed freelance reporting to HuffPost, over the number of linens a couple should co-own. It turns out, Legend doesn’t get much input on the tweets, especially if they’re about him ― and there have been many. “She runs some tweets by me, but she never runs the ones when she’s talking about me by me,” he said of Teigen, whom he called “funnier and cooler” than himself. “We’re next to each other on the couch and she’ll have this devilish look on her face, like she’s conniving some kind of devious plan.” “Then the tweet will go out,” he continued. “And I just look at her, like, ‘That’s funny.’” Later in the show, Legend took the stage for a powerful performance of his new single, “Preach.” Released last week, the song is an anthem about social issues affecting marginalized communities. Its accompanying video includes scenes of mass shootings, immigration and police brutality. “The idea behind the song is that sometimes we can get so frustrated by the news and what’s going on and there’s this scatter going on in ourselves,” Legend has said of the song. “Do we become apathetic? Do we become engaged? Do we just talk about it, or do we do something?”
