Chrissy Teigen revealed that hiding her body functions kept her married to John Legend for 12 years.
“As far as he knows, I’ve never farted or pooped,” the model told E! News at Tuesday’s Netflix event.
The 40-year-old cookbook author added, “You have to stay sexy and stay sexy in little ways. I’m not saying John necessarily does that all the time, but I try to do that.”
Sarah Michelle Gellar added that a “separate bathroom” has kept her 23-year marriage to Freddie Prinze Jr. alive during a joint interview at the Star Search premiere.
Teigen and the “All of You” hitmaker, 47, married in 2013 and have since shared daughters Luna, 9, Miles, 7, and Estee and Wren, 2.
Celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary in Italy in 2023, the parents of four renewed their vows in a romantic, star-studded ceremony.
Back in 2018, Teigen once again shared her advice for having a solid marriage while raising then-toddler Luna and looking ahead to the birth of Milo.
“I think it’s really important to be a full partner in crime,” she told Well+Good at the time.
“I love the ‘us against the world’ mentality. Even if you have children, never forget your relationship as partners and lovers. That’s so important.”
Teigen added that even when Luna is acting, “it’s important that we can look at each other and be like, ‘We created this, let’s figure this out together.'”
“Sometimes I don’t want to put John in a good mood, and I’m sure he feels the same way about me, but my earnest advice is to do it anyway.”
Teigen and Gellar’s intimate tips for staying married aren’t the only celeb suggestions on the subject.
In September, Matthew McConaughey revealed that the key to a stronger partnership with wife Camila Alves was a smaller mattress.
“I woke up one morning and…I looked over there and Camila was like a football field away,” he told Fox News Digital of having a king-sized bed.
“Then you go to bed at night, like you want to cuddle, and…’Well, we have to cover you. Come to about 12 feet, and I’ll come to 12 feet,'” the “Dallas Buyers Club” actor continued.
“Get that son of a bitch out,” he concluded about the big bed. “So I got a queen-sized one that I can shoulder to shoulder. I’m telling you, it’s good for your marriage.”
