John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen have revealed they’re considering a move across the pond after falling in love with the UK.
The Grammy-winning singer and the TV star have spent several holidays in the UK, including their most recent Christmas, and they are both smitten with the colder climate.
Speaking to The Sun, Legend said: “We love it here. Chrissy loves it and the kids love it. We spent our last Christmas here and two or three Christmases ago we were here as well.
“We like to be in a colder place. We don’t like to be in Los Angeles for Christmas. It’s too warm and sunny, and we both grew up in a colder weather environment, so it doesn’t feel like Christmas if it’s warm.”
When asked about the possibility of relocating permanently, the All of Me singer confirmed: “Yes, we would. I mean, especially now. We always talk about the possibility of moving to New York or London.
“Those are two cities that we would definitely consider living in. We love walking cities. There’s something very appealing about both of them, and Chrissy and I feel like we thrive in those kinds of environments, so it’s something to consider for sure.”
Legend’s comments comes after he discussed potentially relocating to New York following his family’s harrowing experience with the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year.
The Eaton and Palisades Fires, which sparked on January 7, destroyed nearly 17,000 structures and claimed at least 29 lives.
The 46--year-old and Teigen, 39, were among the high-profile residents forced to flee their Beverly Hills home, taking shelter in a luxury hotel with their four children.
Fortunately, their $17.5 million home was spared from the blaze.
However, the musician, who kicks off his Get Lifted — 20th Anniversary Tour at London’s O2 on June1,. admitted that the fires and the resulting “collective trauma” in the area had made them seriously consider a move out of Los Angeles.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal in February, Legend shared: “Chrissy and I have always considered returning to New York, where we once lived. We probably will, once our youngest ones grow up a bit.”
The couple, who share Luna, 8, Miles, 6, and twins Wren and Esti, 1, reflected on the growing frequency of natural disasters and how they’ve reshaped their thinking. “Every time nature shows its wrath, we wonder if it's time to head back east. Who knows?” Legend said.
