Grammy Award Winning Singer John Legend has opened up on his cheating history and the role his lovely wife Chrissy Teigen played in helping him become a better person in life. The singer opened up during an interview on Armchair Expert with podcast co-hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman.

During the interview, Dax opened up on his cheating ways: “I have a horrendous history of cheating. F**king deplorable… And there’s all these great cheating songs on your albums, and I was like, ‘I see another fisherman at sea,’ “.John Legend went on to open up about his cheating history “Yes, I did have a history of [cheating]. Definitely in my 20’s. I think what happened for me, you go through a lot of your life in your teens and I was younger than everybody in high school and college, and so I just didn’t get a lot of girls. When I started to get that attention, I loved it.

“I escaped ‘technically cheating’ by keeping my relationship ill-defined. But it was really cheating. I definitely was dishonest and selfish… It was happening before I was famous.” The Oscar winner explained that as he entered the spotlight more, he got more attention and took advantage of that, at that time.

He revealed that he became a better person when he met Chrissy Teigen in 2013 and he found a lot of joy and happiness with her. “At a certain point, you just realize you’re happier being honest. You’re happier being faithful and being in love with one person. “At a certain point, I just decided that person was Chrissy. I decided I wasn’t gonna mess with somebody else anymore.”

John Legend once said there were instant sparks when he first met Chrissy. In fact, they had so much chemistry that they had sex on the first night. “We’ve talked about it before, but we had sex the first night and hit it off,” John shared. “We were both seeing other people at the time. There was kind of a looseness at the very beginning, but we fell in love not long after that.”

Dax asked  if he ever feels pressured about his relationship, considering he and Chrissy are one of the most celebrated couples, John Legend said: “I feel like it almost makes it less likely that I would do anything to f–k it up. Chrissy has 12 million Twitter followers. If I were to do anything, it would be career suicide, “It would be terrible. It just gives you another reason to not f**k it up.”
