John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have always been a strong couple.

Before Chrissy fell pregnant the first time with her daughter Luna, the model opened up about her struggles to conceive.

She became pregnant through IVF and now the pair have a gorgeous one-year-old daughter.

However, earlier this week, Chrissy opened up about trying for a second child, and now her husband, singer John Legend, revealed what it’s like being married to Chrissy and their hopes for another baby.

Speaking about his relationship to Cosmopolitan, John said: “There’s no problem with openness in our relationship. You know Chrissy. She doesn’t hold anything back!

“I’m quite reserved, but being with someone like her inspires me to be open about my emotions. She brings them out of me because she’s so open about hers.”

And speaking about his hopes for a second baby, he said: “I think it’s especially difficult when you can’t conceive naturally.

“You want to feel like everything’s working properly and want everything to be perfect, but sometimes it’s not.

“I wouldn’t say we can’t conceive naturally, but I would say that it’s enough of a challenge where it felt like we needed help. We’re lucky that we’re living in an age where we can conceive in other ways.

“[IVF] brought us Luna and hopefully it will bring us a few more awesome kids, too.”

Aw, how sweet! They’re such a lovely couple.
