John Legend, the 39-year-old musician was labelled a pushover parent by his wife Chrissy Teigen earlier this week, and the ‘All of Me’ hitmaker – who has kids Luna, two, and four-month-old Miles with Chrissy – has confessed to being more “laid back” than the model.
He admitted: “I am easier to convince than mom is. I’m just so laid back, it’s just hard for me to say no.”
John and Chrissy, 32, are currently in the midst of a particularly busy period in their lives, with the chart-topping singer having recently won an Emmy at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards for ‘Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert’.
John – who also won the Most Stylish Man of the Year gong at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London earlier this month – has admitted their lives are “non-stop” at present.
The American star – whose recent Emmy success means he’s now an EGOT winner, meaning he’s won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards – told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “It’s been a busy few weeks. We got back from vacation a few weeks ago and it’s just been non-stop ever since.
“Got a lot going on, a lot of great things, product launches, EGOTs, all kinds of crazy things happening.”
Despite his success, Chrissy recently poked fun at her husband, saying he “needs to learn to say no”.
She shared: “He will say no and then if [Luna] asks one more time, it’s a yes. He’s a bit of a pushover with Luna. I think it’s because they look so much alike and he’s like, ‘OK, you beautiful being. Anything you want.’
“He needs to learn to say no because I’m the tough guy. It’s always a thing in any household, there’s always one.”
