Are John Legend and Chrissy Teigen ready to take another bite out of the Big Apple?
Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, the 13-time Grammy winner revealed that the pair have been mulling over life on the West Coast since deadly and catastrophic wildfires ripped through California last month.
Admitting there’s now “collective trauma” in the aftermath of the blaze, the “All of Me” singer said it might be time for him and the “Cravings” cookbook author, 39, to move back to New York.

“Chrissy and I have always considered returning to New York, where we once lived,” Legend, 46, told the outlet. “We probably will, once our youngest ones grow up a bit.”
“Every time nature shows its wrath, we wonder if it’s time to head back east,” the “Get Lifted” singer added. “Who knows?”
Legend and his family returned home from vacation on Jan 7 — just hours before the Palisades fire began ravaging the city.

The “Ordinary People” singer recalled seeing “flames and billowing smoke,” prompting him and his family to seek refuge at a hotel with their four children, four dogs and a pet bearded dragon.
“The danger felt too close for comfort,” he told the outlet. “That night, my wife and I gathered our four kids, four dogs and bearded dragon and drove south to a hotel in Carlsbad.”
The pair packed their essential belongings and left their sprawling $17.5 million Beverly Hills mansion.

Teigen last month chronicled the family’s escape from the LA wildfires on social media.@chrissyteigen/Instagram
Teigen chronicled the family’s escape from the blaze on social media, admitting she was “very scared.”
“We didn’t return until the following week,” Legend said. “Our home was safe, but many weren’t so fortunate, and the threat still looms,” the EGOT winner noted, adding that the fires “shook everyone” in his household.
While Legend didn’t say exactly when he and Teigen hope to make the move back east, the pair are no strangers to the Big Apple.
Despite hunkering down in Beverly Hills in 2020, the duo boasted two stunning penthouses in Manhattan before deciding to sell them for $18 million in recent years.
The couple bought the first penthouse unit for $9 million in 2018 and the second in 2020 for $7.7 million, according to property records.
Speaking to the outlet in 2022, Legend said they once planned to combine both penthouses together, but never got around to it.

“We’ve realized that because of work and everything, we’re really mostly going to be in Los Angeles, so we’re going to focus our home-building energy and renovation energy on what we’re doing in LA,” he said at the time.
Still, he admitted to often thinking about life in NYC, adding, “I miss it all the time. New York is always going to be my favorite city.”
