John Legend didn't think Chrissy Teigen was The One until "a couple of years" into their relationship.
The 'All of Me' hitmaker is too "cautious" to rush into things so it took him some time to "grow into" his feelings for the Sports Illustrated model, who he met on the set of his music video 'Stereo' in 2007 and married in September 2013.
Asked if he fell in love with her the moment they met, he said: "Not right away. I'm more cautious than that.
"I wasn't like, 'This is the woman I'm going to marry' from day one. For me I'm the kind of person who needs to grow into that feeling. It was probably a couple of years in when I could already see us being together forever."
The 35-year-old star's 2013 single 'All of Me' was inspired by the 28-year-old beauty and he admits it also took him some time to understand his relationship before he could use it in his work.
Speaking to the new issue of Los Angeles Confidential magazine, he said: "The more you know someone, the more you're inspired by your relationship.
"Also, I grew up just learning what it means to be in love with somebody... because I had never really been in love before. I guess you have to grow enough to be able to write that song with sincerity and authenticity."

Taylor Swift says Lorde and Lena Dunham as the "most important" people in her life at the moment.
The 24-year-old musician really appreciates the friendship of the pair and insists it's great to have peers you like and respect.
Referring to 18-year-old Lorde - real name Ella Yelich-O'Connor - and 'Girls' writer Lena, 28, Taylor said: "They are the most important things to me right now. Ella and Lena both represent the type of woman I want to be. Ella and I might be in the same job but we don't see each other as anything but two female friends.
"The type of girls I hang out with are strong and know their own mind. But we don't see each other that often as we work so hard. But when we get together it's worth the wait."
Taylor - who has previously dated Harry Styles and Jake Gyllenhaal but is currently single - values the advice of her close pals, and when she got into the party circuit they advised her that her antics would bring her unwanted attention.
Speaking to HELLO! magazine, she explained: "My friends have asked am I partying too much and suggested I party less. There was a point where I really wanted to stop stories being written about me going out, so I stopped going out."

Susan Boyle blames her single status on her Catholic parents' "coded behaviour".
The 'Wild Horses' singer has revealed her mother and father's strong Christian beliefs have affected the way she approaches romantic relationships as an adult.
Susan, 53, said: "My parents were stalwart Catholics, and there was a kind of coded behaviour I had to keep to - that's why I'm still single. Simply put, the right guy hasn't come along yet."
Susan is open to a relationship and still dreams of one day having her own family.
She said: "It would be nice to have somebody in my life, as I'd like to have a baby, so I'll just keep waiting. In the meantime, I have 16 nieces and nephews - plenty to occupy me with. If God wants it to happen, it will."
Susan credits God for giving her the vocal ability that has made her a star since she finished as a runner-up on 'Britain's Got Talent' and says she is still a very religious person.
She said: "God must think singing is good for me. My faith is important to me, my favourite saint is St. Bernadette. She was from a poor background and raised to a high position, spiritually. I feel an affinity to her, though not on her level..."

Jordin Sparks has taken a swipe at her ex-boyfriend Jason Derulo in a song.
The 24-year-old beauty appears to take aim at her former lover, with whom she had a three-year relationship that ended in September, in her latest remix of Drake's song, 'How About Now'.
Jordin discusses looking after Jason, 25, in the aftermath of him suffering a neck injury in 2012, singing: "Feeling like I have to get all of this off my chest / I know you are sitting there thinking 'What is she going to do next?
"Remember I deleted all my other guys' numbers out my phone for ya? / Remember when you broke your neck and I had to wash your back for ya? You probably don't remember half of the s**t that I did for ya."
Since splitting earlier this year, Jason has conceded that they're not on particularly friendly terms.
Jordin, meanwhile, has remained quiet about their failed relationship for the most part.
But shortly after announcing their split, Jordin said: "I'm good actually. I read this quote [yesterday], and it said, 'When something unexpected happens in your life, or you think something bad happens, just say 'Plot twist!' and move on.'"

Eva Mendes has had some of the "wildest nights" of her life since giving birth to her first child, Esmeralda Amada.
The 40-year-old actress, who has been dating Ryan Gosling since 2011, gave birth six weeks ago and admits motherhood has left her feeling "exhausted".
She shared: "I thought my wild nights were over but these are some of the wildest nights I've ever had."
Eva and Ryan, 34, have been raising their newborn without the help of a nanny, but she has refused to rule out the possibility going forwards.
She explained to Violet Grey's digital magazine: "I'm doing it without a nanny for now but I'm open to the idea of having a nanny in the future.
"For me that part of being a mother at this early stage is the struggle of not being able to sleep and not knowing what I'm doing and really going through it with her and battling out those nights."
Eva also revealed she has taken inspiration from the online accounts of other mothers, who discuss their personal experiences.
She said: "[I] read the comment section from other mothers because I find so much solace in that.
"Just knowing that I'm not alone out there and that other moms have gone through the same thing can at least get me through the night."

Cate Blanchett feels her parenting skills are being judged by other mothers.
The Oscar-winning actress has three children - Dashielle, 12, Roman, 10 and Ignatuis, six - and says she's held to a different set of standards compared to the majority of parents.
Cate, who is married to theatre boss Andrew Upton, reflected: "You know [the other mums] are observing how you parent. They don't know how you cram everything in to make space for your kids like any working parent."
The 45-year-old actress admits it's stressful trying to juggle her Hollywood career with raising her children.
She told PORTER magazine: "Playing the lead in a film where you shoot for three months away from home is not an easy thing for me when my children are in school and my husband is running a theatre company.
"They [the other mothers] assume you have a nanny and a driver and a chef.
"Who gives a s*** whether I do or not?
"The fact is I don't, but you know there is a certain circle of people - and we all get insecure - who then ask, 'Why can't she brush her hair?' You just have to shrug that off."

Jimmy Page says performing with Leona Lewis was one of the highlights of his career.
The Led Zepplin guitarist was asked to name the greatest moment of his professional life outside of the band and he cited performing with the London-born songstress at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, when they sang 'Whole Lotta Love'.
Jimmy, 70, explained: "I'd be very sincere if I said that doing the Olympics [Beijing, 2008] with Leona Lewis was phenomenal. She's really plucky, she's superb, and she sang 'Whole Lotta Love' brilliantly.
"We managed to do the full length of 'Whole Lotta Love' - it wasn't edited - and she sang it beautifully. It was so cool the way she approached it."
Speaking to Uncut magazine, he added: "For that audience, and the fact we didn't f**k it up... we're really going to do this and we're going to do it proud. That was important. It was a Led Zeppelin number but it took on another persona. I was proud to be able to play that riff for the handover."
Jimmy acknowledged choosing the moment as his greatest achievement would "surprise everyone".

Ariana Grande was upset by Bette Midler's recent criticism of her.
The 21-year-old singer was left feeling shocked and offended by the remarks of the entertainment icon.
A source told gossip website TMZ that the sexy brunette was especially surprised as Bette, 68, conducted herself in a similar fashion in the 1970s.
Ariana, a fan of the Grammy Award-winning entertainer, was lambasted by Bette in a recent interview in which she said: "It's always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, slithering around on a couch, looking so ridiculous. I mean, it's silly beyond belief and I don't know who's telling her to do it. I wish they'd stop.
"But it's not my business, I'm not her mother. Or her manager. Maybe they tell them that's what you've got to do. Sex sells. Sex has always sold."
Asked hat advice she'd give to young performers, the 'Wind Beneath My Wings' singer told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Trust your talent. You don't have to make a w***e out of yourself to get ahead. You really don't.
"I mean, don't ask me. It's beyond me. I'm too old.
"I don't know what the end game is going to be. I don't know where you go from all that sex in your twenties. I don't know how you sustain it."

Kendall Jenner has never been bullied by catwalk models.
The 19-year-old beauty is one of the hottest names in the fashion world at the moment, having recently been named the new face of beauty brand Estee Lauder - and she's refuted suggestions other models are jealous of her success.
Kendall - who also stars in the popular reality show 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' - said: "I would see rumours of girls bullying me backstage and putting cigarettes out in my drink, and none of that has happened. Everyone's been really cool to me. I've never had one girl be mean ... so far."
The brunette also revealed that her family, which includes half-sister Kim Kardashian West and her husband Kanye West, have all been supportive of her modelling career, which has already seen her walk the runways for the likes of Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Givenchy.
She explained to Dazed magazine: "Every show, no matter how many shows I've done, I get a text message from every single one of them. But I love it. I couldn't ask for a better reaction.
"The other day Kanye hugged me and was like, 'Yo, I'm really proud of you.' And I was like, 'Really?!' It's so sweet to hear that."
