Chrissy

Teigen confessed she researched her husband John Legend when they first met.

The

33-year-old star opened up about her early romance with the singer, and

revealed when they first started dating she heard outrageous claims he was

“modelizer” or paid ex-girlfriends because he was “in the

closet”.

Speaking in

the December issue of Vanity Fair, Chrissy said: “He was kind of known at

the time for either being in the closet or a modelizer. I used to go on the

websites, and it was always either how I was his beard, or how he paid his past

serious girlfriends, or how he was with some new model. Oh my god, I would read

everything.”

The

lovebirds first met in 2007 when Chrissy was asked to star in the music video

for his hit, Stereo.

They married

in September 2013 in Italy and have two children – three-year-old Luna and

17-month-old Miles – together.

John, 40,

also revealed the relationship turned serious very quickly as he couldn’t

resist Chrissy’s quick wit.

He added: “She just entertained the hell

out of me, texting me. What people respond to in her tweets today was the same

energy in those texts. I didn’t know that I wanted someone funny until I was

actually with someone funny.”
