John Legend had a funny run-in with a group of female fans at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party after entering a photo booth at the same time.
Although one of the women initially claimed that the All Of Me singer, 45, and wife, Chrissy Teigen, had ‘kicked’ them out of the photo booth that they had ‘waited 30 minutes’ to use, DailyMail.com has learned that was not the case.
Following the alleged incident that went viral in a since-deleted TikTok, which showed Legend politely asking the women if he could ‘sneak in’ to grab a few snaps with his spouse if they didn’t ‘mind’ cutting their time in the booth short, two of the influencers in the video shared photos with Legend, 45.
This includes model named Vicky Zesu, who posted a photo standing by the musician’s side at the star-studded event.

Although one of the women initially claimed that the All Of Me singer, 45, and wife, Chrissy Teigen, had ‘kicked’ them out of the photo booth that they had ‘waited 30 minutes’ to get photographed in, DailyMail.com has learned that was not the case
TikToker, Winta Zesu, also shared a snap with the 12-time Grammy winner.
The third woman in the video, Adelline Sassani, works as a Social Media Coordinator at E! News.
Earlier this week, Zesu shared a TikTok with her sibling and pal striking a few poses as they took pictures inside the booth.
Their photo session, however, came to a premature end as Teigen and Legend entered the photo booth.
At one point, Legend’s voice could be heard offscreen saying, ‘We’re gonna sneak in if you don’t mind.’
One of the girls appeared to say ‘Okay,’ as the performer stepped in.
After entering the booth with his wife, the pair stood behind the group and waited for the women to gather their belongings before leaving the booth.
The singer-songwriter appeared to tell the TikTok user and her friends to ‘take all your time,’ before they left.
The clip then cut to the couple watching the girls as they collected their things, and at one point, Legend leaned in close to his wife to say a few words into her ear.

The reel concluded with one of the girls trying to print out the photos that had just been taking but announced, ‘Wait, I’m so sorry, I did it wrong.’
Teigen and Legend were just one of many celebrities at the 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party in celebration of its 60th anniversary.
Chrissy notably was one of the models that landed on the cover, as well as Kate Upton, Gayle King and Hunter McGrady.
The star wore a silver, rhinestone-embellished top as well as a matching, gold miniskirt.
She also slipped into a pair of open-toed, strappy heels and allowed her brunette locks to flow down in light waves past her shoulders. And John wore a stylish black suit which was paired with a white shirt as well as sleek, black dress shoes.

Later on Friday, Chrissy was spotted keeping it casual after visiting the Empire State Building in NYC
For the outing, the star wore a pair of fitted, black leggings as well as a black shirt and a light brown sweater on top.
This month, she graced the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, ten years after she first covered the magazine.
’10 years since my first @si_swimsuit cover and I am so happy to be back with my family!! thank you so, so much for being there through so many different stages of my life and for always loving and rooting for me,’ she wrote on Instagram after the feat.

Teigen added, ‘Getting to shoot for you has always been a career highlight – you guys taught me that I could be more than I ever imagined for myself.
‘I love you so much @mj_day, my day 1. The greatest example of a champion, boss, mom and friend.’
She continued, ‘I love you so much @yutsai88, also my day 1. Shooting with you is the easiest day of belly laughs and dirty jokes.’
The publication also shared her cover photo and wrote, ‘From the moment she became a rookie, it was clear Chrissy Teigen was going to be a star, and bringing her back for a solo cover a decade later was an easy decision.
‘The model has represented SI Swimsuit while simultaneously growing her own brand, forging a path to success as a best-selling author, businesswoman and TV personality,’ they continued.
‘This marks Chrissy Teigen’s ninth year with SI Swimsuit, and her second cover girl moment.’
