In an interview on Dax Shepard's podcast, Armchair Expert, singer-songwriter, John Legend, opened up — revealing that before he met his now-wife, model and author, Chrissy Teigen, he had a history of cheating that he's not proud of.
But since marrying her, cheating is out of the question!
And thank goodness for that, because they are easily one of the best celebrity couples out there right now!
Ultimately, revealing that John isn't as innocent as you might think!
I know, shocking.
He asked John if those songs were based on his real-life experiences in past relationships.
He explained that when he was much younger, he had a more difficult time getting women to date him, so once it became easier, he took full advantage of that.
"I think what happened for me, you go through a lot of your life in your teens and I was younger than everybody in high school and college".
He explained that he would get avoid technically cheating on women he was dating by not defining the relationship or putting any sort of label on it.
"But it was really cheating. I definitely was dishonest and selfish."
But as you can expect, this is a story that thankfully ended happily.
"It was happening before I was famous," he said.
Once becoming famous, things escalated even more because he was receiving so much more attention from women (as it does).
But then, his cheating ways came to a halt when he met his current wife, Chrissy Teigen.
He admitted that meeting her was a game-changer. Which, if you ask me, is one of the sweetest things ever.
John explained that he reached a point in his life where he felt like a happier person when he was being honest and loyal to the person he loves.
He said that there came a time when he realized that Chrissy was going to be that one person for him.
"I decided I wasn't gonna mess with somebody else anymore."
He added that his "whole life" became "lighter" when he took on that mentality.
"We've talked about it before, but we had sex the first night and hit it off," John revealed.
How cute is that?!
"There was kind of a looseness at the very beginning, but we fell in love not long after that."
John replied, explaining that he does feel pressure, in a good way, explaining that he knows the repercussions of cheating on Chrissy would be catastrophic to his personal and professional life.
"If I were to do anything, it would be career suicide. It would be terrible. It just gives you another reason to not [expletive] it up."
