John Legend and Chrissy Teigen Have a Staycation ‘One Night a Month’

John Legend makes sure to put in some self-care time with wife Chrissy Teigen.

The “All of Me” singer, 45, revealed during a panel discussion at the Voices of Beauty Summit on Tuesday that spending some alone time with his wife is how he relaxes and de-stresses amid his busy work and home schedule.

“Chrissy and I have committed to doing a staycation one night a month to get away from the kids,” Legend shared, referring to their children, Luna Simone, 7,  Miles Theodore, 5,  Esti Maxine, 1, and Wren Alexander Stephens, 9 months.

Legend said the kids do have their phone number during that time so that they can still call if they need anything, but he also stressed the importance of “taking that time” for themselves individually and in their relationship so that it can continue to flourish. 

“Getting away from the kids, going to a spa and just [enjoying] each other’s company,” Legend, who was promoting his personal care brand Loved01, explained. “… If you don’t take those moments to reset [and] if you don’t intentionally take those moments, I think then time can get away from you because you’re always going to have something to do. You’re always going to have work to do.” 

“And so I think you have to be intentional about having me-time or couple time so you can focus on your mental health together, your relationship, all of that,” he continued. “And I think that’s important.”

The panel moderator noted that those moments of self-care don’t always come “organically” and have to be focused upon, to which Legend agreed.

“You have to plan it. Yeah, you have to have to be mindful of it and intentional about it, I think,” he said.

Earlier this week, the couple appeared to have one of their vacation nights together without the kids during an outing at Donatella Versace’s new Palazzo Versace hotel in Macau. 

Teigen shared photos from the night of herself in a black mini-dress teamed with a small white handbag and Versace sandal heels, while her husband wore a pink gingham-patterned coat and a pair of black pants. The Cravings author also shared glimpses of their date night at the event, including a shot of herself and the Grammy winner walking hand-in-hand at the hotel while classical music played.

Commenting under his wife’s post, Legend left three love heart eye emojis, “😍😍😍.”
