The longtime couple announced the death of their dog Penny in January. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen shared a video of them singing to the ashes of their late dog, Penny. While decked out in various pink and red outfits, they had their dogs and bearded dragon in their lap, at various points of the song. They also dedicate a few verses to Penny’s ashes, which were in a brown box — labeled Penny Teigen — in Legend’s hands.
The video even included a special moment of Teigen kissing the brown box. During the portion of their tribute to Penny, the 39-year-old model wore a red, feathered velvet dress, and a matching red feathered hat, paired with heart-shaped earrings. Meanwhile, Legend went for an all-pink look, including a sweater and matching pants, along with white sneakers. Teigen announced in January that Penny, who she and Legend adopted in 2011, had passed away.
“Never forget that while every pup is just a few chapters in your long life, for them you are their entire book, their entire lives. Oh Penny. We were so beyond lucky to have you. Say hi to Puddy and Pippa for us. You are all together again,” she concluded, referring to two of her and Legend’s dogs who had passed away in recent years. “On our ride home to Beverly Hills from the airport, we could see the flames and billowing smoke from the Palisades fire,” he said. “Watching TV in the family room, our fears grew. When the Sunset fire began to expand on January 9, the danger felt too close for comfort.”.
That night, Legend said he and Teigen “gathered our four kids, four dogs and bearded dragon and drove south to a hotel in Carlsbad.” They didn’t return to their home in Beverly Hills until the following week. Legend and Teigen, who have been married since 2013, previously owned a pair of New York City penthouses. However, they sold them for a whopping $18 million in 2022 after realizing that most of their time was spent in L.A.
