Spotted: John Legend and Girlfriend

Posted by Bossip Staff

John Legend Car

John Legend and his girlfriend model Christy Teigen were spotted leaving Hyde nightclub last night in LA. We were the first to break the news that the two were dating back in August and seems like they’re still going strong. Damn, it’s cool to have a little arm candy from time to time, but it seems like this dude is only into dating models. SMH at the woman in the back seat covering up her face like she is the one they are trying to photograph.

  4. amanda

    John was said to be found at a millionaire&celebrity dating club http://www.meetrich.com not long before, and he is hot there. Though he is not a playboy, but i think the hot girls on that site should want to date this cute guy so much.

  5. keisha

  6. Monte

  13. Doc-2-B

  14. N-Qui-Sa-Tive

  16. Ugh

    I guess brown girls aren’t good enough…

  17. 6 Figgas

    Beard. Period.


  18. That gray and red dress fit them curves right smh.

  19. A pretty, self-*****ured BLACK LADY SAYS...

    UGH, Please. The girl is brown, African American brown, so get a grip. It kills me how everytime a black person, usually woman, sees a pretty black woman who doesn’t look like her vision of what a black woman should be, she automatically *****umes the woman is of a different race. Stop being so damn insecure and complaining all the time. And “UGH” is an interesting, way to post your comment. I guess that’s how you must feel about yourself then. If so, don’t blame others, blame your mama and daddy who made you.

  20. nahnah

    I guess brown girls aren’t good enough…

    __________________

    i think he likes all flavors. didn’t that sucker date jessica white and that nigerian model? both are dark skinned girls.

    regardless of who he’s dating, i think he’s trying to hard to be a ‘mack’ as if he’s got something to hide. just my opinion.

  21. nahnah

    A pretty, self-*****ured BLACK LADY SAYS:

    we must be looking at the wrong pics because that girl doesn’t look black to me.

  22. MACON

    SO WHAT DOES BLACK LOOK LIKE nahnah? ***** WE DON’T ALL LOOK ALIKE YOU KNOW!! SOUNDS LIKE YOU BOUGHT INTO THAT OLD RACIST STEREOTYPE THOUGH.

  23. celeste

    Nahnah, I am a black woman but I am constantly being mistaken for Hispanic,Indian and even a few times, Arabic. African Americans range from near white to black skin tone. From straight- to wavy- to kinky hair. And not all of us have wide noses and full lips, it runs the gamut to every shape and size.


  24. I dont think Nahnah is being racist or rude, all shes sayin is the girl doesnt look black to her! Initially, lookin at da pic, I wuda guessed some sort of Oriental and White background or sumthin, but then as we all know, Black ppl shade from ebony to ivory from Afro hair to european straight hair etc so it all depends.

  25. I'ma*****!

    Note to Melody Thornoton – There are other dresses besides Herve Leger dresses. What,s he was going naked before they became popular?

  26. I'ma*****!

    Actually, the woman in the backseat is hiding because she knows that she is not the one they want a picture of. So she might as well not get caught up in the crossfire.

  27. dayg715

    john legend with a white girl. why am i not surprised.

  28. Harlem Chic

    John Legend is geigh.

  29. nahnah

    SO WHAT DOES BLACK LOOK LIKE nahnah? ***** WE DON’T ALL LOOK ALIKE YOU KNOW!! SOUNDS LIKE YOU BOUGHT INTO THAT OLD RACIST STEREOTYPE THOUGH.

    ___________

    are you sick in the head or something? i simply said she doesn’t look black to me because she doesn’t! she doesn’t even look biracial to me.

    but do tell what she is, please. if she’s black, please clue me in on how you came about this conclusion, and stop talking out the side of your neck.

    She looks like white or white/hispanic to me, but like i said, do explain how she’s black.


  30. Melodys body looks good, its the hug in the dress!! Fits the curves right. LOL@whoever said Spiderman!!

  31. nahnah

    Nahnah, I am a black woman but I am constantly being mistaken for Hispanic,Indian and even a few times, Arabic. African Americans range from near white to black skin tone. From straight- to wavy- to kinky hair. And not all of us have wide noses and full lips, it runs the gamut to every shape and size.

    _________________________

    good for you. but what is your point? can i look at a white woman and say she’s probably black since blacks can have white skin?

    colin powell is considered a black man, but he’s only about 25 percent black. i understand the one drop rule or whatever you want to call it, but as i said, the woman doesn’t look black to me.

  32. SHAWNA

    YES. I TOO AM SHAKING MY DAMN HEAD!!!

    AND, IS IT ME, OR DOES JL LOOK PLEASANTLY PLUMP???

  33. MARV

    lol bossip yall stupid the women in the back lol

  34. Dushawn

    Folks don’t bother replying to nahnah because the girl just doesn’t get it. “She doesn’t look black to me” is a dumb thing to say but she still doesn’t get it. So what looks black to you nahnah, since it is well established that all blacks do not look the same , have the same skin tone or features? What looks black and only black to you then? Whoopie Goldberg> Do we all have to look like whoopie for you to believe such a thing and if so, it proves the earlier comment that you do in fact believe the old stereotype that all blacks look a certain way. Peace out I gotta go to work now so everybody have a good day!

  35. nahnah

    btw macon, it seems like you’re the one feeding into racist crap for buying into that ‘one drop rule’ stuff. why should a biracial person deny their white side because this racist society say so?


  36. shave the beard already!

  37. nahnah

    *shaking my head*

    dushawn, so that woman is an african american woman? if so, how did you come to that conclusion?

    beyonce doesn’t look like whoopi goldberg, yet i know she’s a black woman, so what is your problem? it seems like a lot of you *****es have no sense of understanding whatsoever. you just want to yap and take ***** out of context for no apparent reason. my god, all i said is that the woman doesn’t look black because she just doesn’t.


  38. LOL@Shawna- “pleasantly plump”, LUV it! Yea hes does look like hes put on a pound or two, but its cool. This whole “is she black” thing is being blown out of proportion. Im sure we’ve all seen sum1 who we *****umed was a certain race and turned out to be anuva one altogether! I get nahnahs point.. oh shoot, time to go home, be back in couple hours. I hope theres not a fight by the time I get back lol

  39. saaywhaat

    Not that it matters but for anyone who’s wondering, she’s Filipino!

  40. nahnah

    is she filipino? interesting, as i thought she was black, judging by all those idiots who were attacking me for pointing out the obvious.

    however, she does have a scandanavian surname, so maybe she’s filipino/european mixed.


  41. I am tired of people saying black people come in all shades. As if our gene is so dirty mixxed kids are automatically black. If someone has a red head scottish parent and a tan italian parent they are scottish italian not a dark irish or a light italian. Stop with that light skinned black when one parent is another race. Spanish or ethipoian or somalian they are amixture of races and are counted as such. Its like ignoring the fact the person is a product of an IR and “accepting” them. Or casting them off how does one turn on their ethnicity did they join the KKK if I hear that from jessica alba or halle berry post one more time.

  42. hey

    John has that “Stereo” song about a woman who only loves him for his image/status based on what she hears on the radio. Yet here he stays dating almost exclusively models. Guess he only loves in “Catwalk”.

  43. tealeaf

    She is pretty, but I wonder if she is a beard

  44. nono

    yawn


  45. BOSSIP – SMH at the woman in the back seat covering up her face like she is the one they are trying to photograph.

    —————-

    LOL! I know, right?

    She’s a cute girl and there is no such thing as looking black. Blacks in America come in all shades, with mixtures of other races and with different features.

  46. nahnah

    if there’s no such thing as looking black, then how do you tell if a person if black?

    some of you comment just for the hell of it. making sense means nothing to y’all.

  47. Layla

    Catwalk? She’s shorter than he is. She must be one of those Low Rider magazine models, cause no serious brands are checkin’ for her.

  48. famou$ dude

    i don’t care what yall say john legend is a *****. he ain’t bangin’ no pus

  49. yea i said it

    wuteva its a coverup he is sooo *****in GAY

  50. Ms Fufu

    i dnt believ john’s a *****…he’s just metrosexual…lol!!!!!!!!!!

    i think!!!

    neways..wen will Melody get ova those HERVE LEDGER dress!! dis is lyk d 50th one ive seen her wear dis year!!! babe..he’s not d only designer!!!!!!!!!!

  51. lala

    so what he only dates models.

    dayummm you all make up problems and issues…

  52. lauren

    Trust me John Legend openly doesn’t like black women. Its no secret. He prefers white women or latinas. He finds them more attractive then black women. My friend worked in the band while he was on tour…


  53. C’mon, you guys are digging way too deep with this race sh*t! At first glance, the woman does not look AA!!! She’s actually lighter than John Legend! I had to take another look but that’s the beauty of being AA–we come in many shades! Just because someone (nahnah) typed their opinion about her not looking black–that’s no reason to bash and that doesn’t make her insecure, a hater, etc.! It’s just an opinion from an observation, damn!

    This is where the word “hater” really fits!

    Sheesh!!!!! Lol!!!!!!!!!


  54. And who really cares if he likes black women or not. Not me! Just because I enjoy some of his music–that doesn’t mean that I wanna marry the guy!! Sh*t, he could date a snake for all I care–especially if it enhances his music. That’s all the hell I care about! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  55. Remember folks–it’s all “*****s and giggles”!

  56. Esaul

    She doesn’t look black to me either. She doesn’t even look mixed black-white, she looks like Samoan-european mixed so stop attacking Nannah for saying such an obvious thing.

  57. JaliliMaster

    Chick isn’t black. She’s mixed fillipino and white. The fact that some of you are actually ‘willing’ her to be black is so sad. Trying to say: see, we blacks come in all colours, even white. SMDFH. Had she been with a white dude, would it even cross any of your minds for one second that she may be black? Well honeys, she ain’t. The fact that John Legend is dating her should tell you that!

  58. Ugh

    @ A pretty self *****ured Black Lady, I’m not insecure. I’m sick of black men of “status” thinking that light or something other than brown/black is better. His personal life has nothing to do with me, doesn’t affect me, and therefore doesn’t cause me any insecurity. I’m just commenting on how some black men think. His affinity for lighter complexions and “other” makes him insecure, not me. I’m proud of my brown complexion which is why I don’t understand why some African American men can’t appreciate it as well. Just commenting…

  59. Ron

    As if it was any of your business, her mother is Thai and her father is Caucasion, sorry to burst your bubble.

  60. bee-mice-elf

    This is the real story Bossip. They were on their way to John’s place for a threesome before which John would change into his pirate outfit.

  61. tom smith

    you people amaze me if he was with a blacker skinned nigra you would be calling her a oil spot .Since hes with a fair skinned BLACK WOMEN thats right shes black .you people say hes a uncle tom . i think you all are lazy no good coons who just love to suck up to my people to get any slot we will give you.PURE COONERY.


  62. **scrolling BACK UP to reread my post**

    Just as I thought. Like I typed–At first glance–she’s does not appear to be black. Am I going to go over her with a fine tooth comb to see?? I wouldn’t or couldn’t care less what she is! Damn, I don’t sh*t what she eats!!!! As long as Mr. Legend keeps making good music, that’s all that matters to me.

    “We’re just ordinary peeeeeepuuullll!”

    Lol!!!!

  63. Julien

    Models have always been beards for *****s!

  64. meeo

    LMAO Just saw Chrissy on MTV’s “Wanna Come in?” 2004 episode. Wondering if John knows about it… lol

  65. CT

    Chrissy is Thai and European (Norwegian i believe), and i think she’s beautiful. They look cute together.

  66. spinner22

    I wouldnt get to worked up about it I dont think it will last like the others i hink he is enjoying being a star and when he settles down i do beleive it will be with own race more likely

  67. What2Do

    Let’s be honest.Legend is dating that girl (if she is in fact AA at all)for the same reason most black men dating biracial white looking women. So they can date a girl like that without people gettin on them about her being white. If she looked exactly the same but was in fact white, the truth is people would have a problem with it.

  68. playlist

    i think his girlfriend is black and beautiful…and i highly doubt john (and hopefully anyone else) dates a biracial person b/c it’s closer to being white…if he wants one he’ll get one

  69. The Butcher

    FACT: She’s half thai and half white. they are both very down to earth people that see past the color of peoples skin.


  70. the guy is hot.. i think people have the choice to whom they wanna be in love with so let him date who ever he wants…

  71. C.C.

    Now, I love John Legend, and I think his girl is beautiful, but I do not know who she thinks she is fooling. That woman is of African ancestry. She even has relaxed hair! I know Black people when I see them, and she is one. People have to realize that when you are a model, sadly, sometimes you can get more work if say you are mixed and look some ethnically vague. My guess is that Christy is playing that game to get press and work. I’m not saying she’s all Black, but there is definitely some in there.

  72. Sarah

    He is gay!!!!! Not to be just sayin but that is wat i heard.

  73. Really?

    The girlfriend is NOT black! she is half asian and european. No which way part of her has a drop of black blood. LOL.
