NEED TO KNOW
Chrissy Teigen loves to indulge in a late-night snack — often with the help of her husband, John Legend.
The Cravings cookbook author, 39, made the revelation on the latest episode of Netflix’s Dinner Time with David Chang, telling Chang and fellow co-host Diplo that she always wakes up in the middle of the night to get food.
“I take my nighttime medications at 10 p.m., and then I wake up again at 1 [a.m.]. I place my order, it gets to me by 2. I eat it by 2:15, and then I go back to bed,” Teigen shared.
“[This happens] every night without fail,” she added. “I’m not kidding.”
Diplo, 46, then asked Teigen what kind of late-night meal she indulges in and whether it’s “a sandwich” or “spaghetti.”

“It’s a sandwich. It’s hard-boiled eggs — if I’m good — but usually it’s like a Del Taco,” she said of her orders.
Teigen also shared that when it comes to a sandwich, it’s her singer-songwriter husband, 46, who will often be the one to make it. She admitted that Legend would “fully go downstairs” and make it for her, adding that he “doesn’t care.”
“I can nudge him and I’ll be like, ‘Babe I want a sandwich,’ and he will be like, ‘Okay!’ He’s so robotic. You know John. He’s like, ‘Alright. Sandwich time,’ ” she joked, mimicking a robot. “And then he comes back [to bed], and he’s like [back asleep].”

Chang, 48, admitted on the show that when he first heard that Teigen always has a late-night snack, he thought that was “maybe not the truth.” But Legend was only happy to clear that up for him, saying, “No, no no, 100% [that’s true].”

It’s no secret that Teigen is a big food lover, having published three bestselling cookbooks: Cravings, Cravings: Hungry for More and Cravings: All Together.
However, the mother of four — who shares daughters Luna and Esti and sons Miles and Wren with Legend — also told PEOPLE last year that her husband had been taking up more of the cooking load in their house.
“John is doing a lot of the cooking lately. Actually, I say lately, but for the past year, he’s really stepped it up,” Teigen said at the time. “He loves putting on one of his podcasts … and just cooking in the kitchen.”
“He’s really become quite the chef lately,” she added.
