How Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Keep the Spark Alive in Their Marriage
Marriages are full of perfect imperfections. Just ask Chrissy Teigen.
Twelve years after exchanging vows with husband John Legend, the Star Search judge is still doing "little things" in her relationship with the "All of Me" singer to show just how much she cares.
As she jokingly put it, "For all he knows, I have never farted or pooped."
"You got to keep the sexy and preserve the sexy in a little bit of ways," she exclusively told E! News' The Rundown host Erin Lim Rhodes at the Jan. 20 premiere of the Netflix talent competition. "I won't say that John necessarily does that all the time, but I make sure that I do."
And her Star Search costar Sarah Michelle Gellar agrees, quipping in their joint E! interview that the secret to her and husband Freddie Prinze Jr.'s own 23-year marriage is "separate bathrooms."
But the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum had more than just relationship advice for Chrissy. As mom to teenagers Charlotte, 16, and Rocky, 13, she encouraged the Cravings cookbook author to let her and John's kids discover their own passions.
"When they find their 'thing,' you know," Sarah shared, after mom of four Chrissy joked that her and John's 10-year-old daughter Luna is "all over the place" when it comes to her hobbies. "They tell you."
In fact, Rocky "wants to be an F1 driver," the I Know What You Did Last Summer actress continued, "That's his dream. He studies cars and he holds the record at every K1 in Los Angeles."

So, what are Luna's current interests?
"She loves ice skating, she loves dance, she loves cooking," Chrissy revealed. "Every Sunday morning, she's down at the rink. She loves it, but there's nothing that she really wants to devote her entire life to."
To get a closer look at Chrissy and John's life at home with their kids, read on...
