On Tuesday, November 12, Blake Shelton, who was named Sexiest Man Alive in 2017, announced John Legend's honor on "The Voice."
In many other ways, Legend is an obvious choice for the title and today's post will show you that. He has an EGOT, a role on a popular television show, 'The Voice', and has appeared on the covers of Time, GQ, and Ebony, among many others. But the 40-year-old singer brings something new to the historical landscape of Sexiest Men.
Several folks on Twitter have disagreed with the choice of John Legend as the Sexiest Man Alive in 2019 for some reason. We have carefully put together 5 obvious reasons why he deserves to be awarded that title.
Have a look!
1. A wife's guy
Of course, many other sexiest men in the past have been married but none adores their wife unapologetically in the eyes of the public as Legend does. He and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, aren’t just better together; they’re also more famous together. We find this so adorable and we can help but agree that he deserves the title.
2. Amazing father
If you know Legend, then you must also know his two adorable children. Luna and Miles always find their way to his social media pages and events. It's either Legend his twinning with Miles or having them both on the set of 'The Voice' with him. He mentioned in his interview, "I’m so proud that I have a wife and two kids I’m so in love with and so connected to. I’m also so proud of my career". Can your father ever?
