John Legend named first black man to join the EGOT set at the Creative Arts Emmys

Chrissy Teigen has paid tribute to husband John Legend after the talented musician added to his enormous haul of awards and accolades at the Creative Arts Emmys on Sunday evening.

Legend, 39, became the first black man to win at the Emmys, Grammys, Oscars and Tony Awards after collecting the Outstanding Variety Special Award for his contribution to Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert.

And the pianist was promptly congratulated by proud wife Chrissy, 32, who documented his triumph and its subsequent celebratory aftermath in a series of Instagram posts, the Daily Mail reports.

In one shot, taken backstage at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, the TV personality is seen planting a kiss on Legend’s cheek as he poses with his latest award.

Captioning the shot, she wrote: ‘My incredible man. What a surreal life.’

Sharing a video from their marital home later that night, Teigen filmed her husband as he climbed onto his piano seat and reverently placed his Creative Arts Emmy on a top shelf, between two of his ten Grammy Awards.
