When we have a big fight with our partner, it’s usually done somewhere quiet and low key. Say, an apartment or supermarket. When famous people have life-affirming relationship dramas, they do it at Versailles. Well, if you’re Chrissy Teigen and John Legend you do.
Finally opening up about their worst fight, the couple revealed to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live what they famously fought about at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s 2014 wedding, which was held at Versailles in France.
Teigen, who first informed the public about the fight in 2016, admitted she felt “really intimidated” being at the star-studded affair. That insecurity led to a huge blowout between the couple, which, according to Teigen, everybody at the wedding knew about.
“We try to think about this all the time. It was a major blowout to the point where like every time I see them [Kim and Kanye] I feel like apologising for it,” she said, followed by “Ohhh everyone knew.”
“I think I felt really, I was really intimidated, and I came from a lot of insecurity, and I just I took it out on John. There were a lot of fabulous, amazing people in one room, and that’s where it stemmed from. I was just very insecure, and you know how things snowball, and then also drinking,” she joked.
It isn’t the first time the couple have revealed the model’s feelings of inadequacy in the high-profile, ultra glam industry. In his speech at Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards in 2018, Legend recalled a time his wife felt completely out of place at a Time 100 party.
“In her Glamour profile, she talked about a time when we were at this big event and she was crying in a dressing room because she felt so overwhelmed by the illustrious company she was in,” Legend told the crowd. “We were celebrating the Time 100 and she felt like she didn’t belong. How could she be worthy of the likes of Oprah, Christine Lagarde, Michelle Obama? Well, I’m here to say that you belong here.”
Luckily, the pair got over their fight at the Kimye wedding and are now happily married with two children, Luna and Miles, and a dog. A love story for the ages!
