A BLITZ ON JOHN LEGEND
His real name is John Roger Stephens, and he was born on December 28, 1978.

But why be "Stephens" when you can be L E G E N D?

Legend is in a relationship with model Christine Diane Teigen (Chrissy Teigen).

They were engaged in December 2011, so Legend got a birthday present that day. He proposed in the Maldives.

Legend and Teigen actually met in 2007 on the set of Legend's music video, "Stereo".

This is the video for "Stereo".

It's a pretty good song.

Legend and Teigen's daughter, Luna Simone Stephens (NOT Legend, NOT Luna Legend, but there is still time for that) was born on April 14, 2016.
