John Legend is getting married! The Grammy-winning musician has reportedly popped the question to his model girlfriend, Chrissy Teigen.
Cindi Berger, representative for the "Ordinary People" singer, confirmed the news Tuesday, saying, "John Legend and his girlfriend, model Chrissy Teigen, got engaged over the holidays while vacationing in the Maldives.” No other details surrounding the engagement were provided.
Although John Legend, 32, hasn’t announced the happy news on Twitter yet, he shared details of his outings with Chrissy, 26, on their trip, saying that they hauled in their own catch for a meal.
According to multiple sources, after the proposal John Legend – who has been dating the Sports Illustrated model since 2007 – headed to Thailand with Chrissy Teigen. The couple stayed with Chrissy’s parents, her sister and fiancĂ©, and enjoyed a Turkey dinner on Sunday. They also took part in numerous cooking classes on their Thai trip, according to Chrissy’s blog.
The young model wrote on Christmas Day, “Did another vacation cooking class! This one wasn’t quite as interactive - everything was already chopped and measured and chopping is pretty much our favorite thing ever. Pad Thai, Panang curry, and som tum, or papaya salad.”
Talking to People in May about how they help style one another, John Legend revealed, "We validate or shut down whatever each of us is doing. [It's] all of the time. We were together when we picked out our clothes today. She's better [at it].”
The soul singer added, “It's harder to dress a woman — there are so many options and accessories. For guys we only have so many elements."
There is not much information on how the pair celebrated their engagement, but the singer will next be seen at the Pearl Concert Theater at The Pearl at The Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas on New Year's Eve. The entertainer – whose new album with The Roots is titled “Wake Up” – will help the people of Sin City kick off 2012 with a bang when he takes to the stage for their New Year’s Eve event.
John Legend, born John Roger Stephens, has recently collaborated with Mariah Carey for the Christmas song “When Christmas Comes,” and the singers have just released a music video for the song. Legend has won nine Grammy Awards throughout his career.
Chrissy Teigen, who is of Thai and Norwegian descent, has been spotted on many red carpet events with the R&B singer.
