140 characters? So, THIS is why John Legend fell for Chrissy Teigen

For years, we've heard whisperings that guys don't go for funny girls.

Whether they're intimidated by their wit or would rather sit in silence than enjoy a good belly laugh, these guys genuinely (and unfortunately) do actually exist.

But, thankfully, John Legend isn't one of them.

Opening up about his relationship with Chrissy Teigen, the All Of Me singer revealed that it was his wife's sense of humour which made him realise he was falling for her.

Like most relationships these days, the pair tested the waters by swapping texts and keeping up with each other online, and it turns out Chrissy's way with words reeled John right in.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the singer explained: "At the beginning of our relationship, we were texting a lot and I started to see her sense of humour."

"We would talk on the phone and I started to fall in love with how engaging and witty and funny she is," he revealed.

Like her millions of online followers, John wasn't immune to Chrissy's Twitter skills, adding: "I fell in love with Chrissy over the phone, because she is good with those 140 characters."

As good a reason as any, right?!
