Emotional evening: John Legend grew emotional - and left Chrissy Teigen in tears - as he paid tribute to his wife at Glamour's Women of the Year awards in New York on Monday
He said: 'I have a career in the music business, but we all know who the star of the family is. She's the heart and soul of the family too.
'I am very much in love with this woman. I mean, obviously, I guess. She is my wife. And she is the mother of our daughter Luna and our son Miles.
'But I'm not the only one who loves her. Many millions of people who aren't married or related to her love her too.
'Everywhere I go, I meet people, fans, who used to ask me for an autograph or tell me how much they love my music. Now, the number one comment I get from people who USED to be MY fans is how much they LOVE Chrissy. She gets bigger cheers than I do at my own concerts. They love her!'

'Have you heard songs written for Chrissy before? One of them went to number one on the Billboard charts.'

Steal Chrissy's style in a one shoulder dress by Solace London
This week has already been a very glamorous one for Chrissy Teigen. And it's only Tuesday!
She knocked our socks off at the People's Choice Awards in a glitzy Zuhair Murad dress, and now here she is at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards working a white one shoulder number.
It's by Solace London, a label we've spotted on the likes of Nicole Scherzinger, Michelle Keegan and Holly Willoughby. We love the draped shape and layered effect of this dress, which she styled with metallic heels and beachy waves.
The good news is, unlike the Zuhair Murad, this one is both available to buy and relatively affordable for a designer dress. Tempted to swap your LBD this party season? Click (right) to get your hands on it.

He explained: 'Sometimes social media feels like it's going to be the death of civilisation. But it hasn't been a complete fail. Hear me out, here... 'I think the world may have missed out on Chrissy's full awesomeness if it weren't for social media. She would have never fully shone the way she does if she were filtered by publicists and handlers...
'Chrissy's biggest impact may be the way she proves that just by being the person you are, you can make a difference. Being who you are, unapologetically, you can make a difference...'
John ended on a touching note, reassuring his wife she was 'more than worthy' of being honoured.
Cute couple: John looked dapper as he escorted Chrissy to the ceremony
He said: 'In her Glamour profile, she talked about a time when we were at this big event and she was crying in a dressing room because she felt so overwhelmed by the illustrious company she was in.
'We were celebrating the TIME 100 and she felt like she didn't belong. How could she be worthy of the likes of Oprah, Christine Lagarde, Michelle Obama?
'Well, I'm here to say that you belong here. I think it has become very clear to Glamour magazine and to many millions of people around the world that you are more than worthy of this honour tonight.
'I am amazed by the woman that you've become. And I'm truly glad that the rest of the world has finally found out about it, too. Ladies and gentleman the incredible Chrissy Teigen, everybody.'
Chrissy was overwhelmed by her husband's kind words on the night, admitting in her acceptance speech: 'John didn't even cry when I was giving birth.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
