John Legend, Teigen eye big move in L.A.
LOS ANGELES — With a new baby on the way, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are getting their household in order. The Hollywood power couple put their contemporary home in the 90210 area up for sale at $23.95 million.
That's about $10 million more than they paid for the place when they bought it in 2014 from Rihanna.
Legend and Teigen made some dramatic changes to the modern showplace during their stay, turning the exterior from white to gray and touching up the interiors with cerused oak floors, hot-rolled steel walls and bespoke patterned ceilings from Thailand.
With 8,500 square feet of living space on nearly an acre, the modern showplace holds seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms across two stories.
A grand parlor with a sculptural staircase under 33- foot ceilings kicks things off, leading into a step-down great room with a twostory wall of glass. Other highlights include a chef's kitchen, formal dining room, movie theater and gym.
In the living room, a grand piano is surrounded by music awards (John Legend is one of just 16 people to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony — an achievement referred to as an EGOT).
The master suite expands to one of three balconies, all of which overlook a scenic backyard with a heated saltwater pool, a spa and a pergola wrapped in creeping vines. The hillside estate takes in sweeping city and canyon views.
Legend, 41, has won 11 Grammy Awards, including two for best R&B album — for “Wake Up!” and “Get Lifted.” He won an Oscar for the song “Glory,” for the 2014
film “Selma,” and recently released his seventh studio album, “Bigger Love.”
Teigen, 34, is a television personality, model and author. She hosted “Lip Sync Battle” from 2015 to 2019. She currently appears on “Chrissy's Court,” a new court show on the short-form-video platform Quibi.
The couple announced this month they are expecting their third child.
Case closed
Actor She mar Moore, of “Criminal Minds” fame, has ended his hunt for a buyer, selling his longtime home in Encino for $2.4 million.
The yellow Spanish-style house, built in 1963, was extensively updated during Moore's stay and features dark wood floors, high
ceilings and an upgraded kitchen. About 3,600 square feet of interior space includes five bedrooms and bathrooms plus a bonus room for an office/gym. French doors in the dining room lead to a front terrace.
Outside, more than 1/4 acre of grounds contain a custom swimming pool, a fire pit and patio space.
The property came up for sale in March shortly after Moore closed sale on another home in the San Fernando Valley. He had owned the place since 2007.
The 50-year-old actor is known for his long-running roles on the daytime soap opera “The Young and the Restless,” as well as the crime drama “Criminal Minds.” He currently stars on the show “S. W. A. T .,” now in its third season.
