Singer John Legend and model Chrissy Teigen got engaged over Christmas

Well, I’m not sure how many people will care about this story because (to paraphrase CB) it concerns a decidedly non-scandalous couple, but we could all stand a little bit of good news about a couple of non-famewhorey celebrities, right? Over a Christmas holiday in the Maldives, singer and songwriter John Legend (who has collaborated with The Roots and Kanye West) became engaged to his girlfriend of four years, Sports Illustrated model Chrissy Teigen:

“Ordinary People” soul singer John Legend is doing something extraordinary – he’s getting married.

“John Legend and his girlfriend, model Chrissy Teigen, got engaged over the holidays while vacationing in the Maldives,” Legend’s rep, Cindi Berger, tells PEOPLE.

No further details were provided, but Legend’s whereabouts this coming weekend are being reported in Las Vegas newspapers.

The singer, 32, will be performing at The Pearl at the Palms on New Year
s Eve. His latest album, with The Roots, is Wake Up!.

Sigh. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to date and marry a soul singer like Legend? I mean, anytime the romance is otherwise lacking, he could just whip out the smooth baritone and go all Barry White. Chrissy is such a lucky lady, and if you’ve ever followed her on Twitter, you’ll know that she’s very sharp, funny and largely unaffected (by fame) as well. Then again, she’s claimed in the past to be a huge fan of Pajiba, so maybe I’m a bit partial.

    Well, there *could* be some scandal because he is supposedly closeted … But he could still sing to me anytime! 🙂

      Right he is a closeted guy is what I always heard.

    • Franny says:

      Doesn’t it ever get old claiming that EVERYONE in Hollywood is gay? What if we went through our non-hollywood lives claiming everyone is gay? It’s actually kind of sick that people sit on here all day long going “oh, she’s his beard, he’s totally gay, they’re beards for each other” blah blah blah

      • Victoria says:

        Uh…no because it’s a blog about Hollyweird and it’s weird celebrities and everything and everyone is suspect.

        I too have heard this rumours, but my gaydar is not really pinging. And it may just be because I flove him. His fiance is pretty and they seem like a nice go-to-work-and-leave-it-at-the-door couple.

        They gets no snark from me.
