John Legend is already one of our favourite human beings. Not only does he have the voice of an angel (case in point: he serenated a surprised group of commuters at St Pancras Station yesterday for International Piano Day) and is married to one of our ultimate girl crushes, Chrissy Teigen, but he’s also pretty right on when it comes to defending his friends – including most recently Kim Kardashian.
The reality TV star and mum of two came under fire from Twitter trolls (surprise, surprise) after she discussed her desire to have a third child in previews for an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, with one user writing: ‘Sometimes it seems the Chinese might have been on to something.’ He is of course referring to China’s ‘one-child’ policy, where you would face a fine if you have additional children.
Clearly taking a leaf out of his outspoken wife’s book (Chrissy’s sassy Twitter presence is just one of the many reasons we love her) the singer replied to the no doubt shocked Twitter user, saying: ‘That was pretty awful. Shame on you.’
The couple have been friends with Kim and her husband Kanye for some years, with the All Of Me hit maker being particularly supportive during Kanye’s recent breakdown and subsequent hospitalisation. He also performed at the Kardashian-West wedding, and wife Chrissy has frequently posted Instagram snaps of her with Kim at various baby showers and birthdays. Chrissy has even volunteered to be a surrogate for Kim should she need one for her third child, and the close friends have also launched a book club together.
Bravo, John Legend!
