Dad Crush Monday: John Legend

By Samantha Jong
October 24, 2016

Award-winning crooner John Legend is known for setting hearts aflutter with his smooth, soulful voice and smouldering eyes. But this year, he’s been making the news for totally different reasons. Having gained the title of dad to little Luna earlier this year, he has been captivating audiences with his adorable daddy antics and sweet messages of love, which is why he’s our dad crush of the week!

More affectionately known as Lulu, she’s the apple of her daddy’s eye.

We think Lulu currently looks a little bit more like daddy than mummy. What do you think?

I don't know if she actually recognizes me, but she's acting like it @mrmikerosenthal @gothammag

By the looks of it, John is a very hands-on dad, changing her diapers, feeding her bottles and even reading her the ever popular Goodnight Moon.

Happy Father's Day to the most perfect man Luna and I could ever ask for. Since the day she was born, you've done every bottle with me, woken up with me to keep me company through every night. You don't mind diapers, get all the best burps, and read her Goodnight Moon like poetry. It makes me so happy to see so much of you in her smile and eyes that completely glow when looking at you. She will never look at anyone – anyone – the way she looks at you. Happy Father's Day to your father, Ron. John is the amazing father he is because of you and Phyllis. You created and raised a man we are all so lucky to love. We love you, Johnny, endlessly, forever and ever to the Luna and back. Happy Father's Day from Luna and I, and thank you to game 7 for providing the real gift here and getting me out of having to plan and overthink the day phew

He was excited about Luna’s birth before she was born and was an active participant at wife Chrissy’s baby shower.

Other than being an all-around awesome dad, John continues to release hit song after hit song. He draws inspiration in many ways, such as Chrissy being pregnant and Luna’s impending birth. He recently released his newest single Love Me Now just earlier this month.

When he’s on the red carpet, he shows off his great dress sense and is rarely seen in a classic black tux (although he carries one off well). Instead, he opts for colours, patterns and twists on classic looks.

A wonderful husband, John isn’t one to shy away from the social media limelight, and makes his affection for Chrissy and Luna known.

6 months old!

The pair often reminds us of a young teenage couple in love, with John being the ever protective dad and husband, standing up for Chrissy against haters on social media.

Since we're at Lake Como, we had to return to the house where we shot the All of Me video

After everything they’ve been through to get to where they are now, we think the couple deserves every bit of their success!
