A day after his emotional performance of \"Never Break\" during Wednesday night's Billboard Music Awards, which he also dedicated to Teigen, the \"All of Me\" singer, 41, penned a heartfelt note honoring his wife's strength.

\"This is for Chrissy. I love and cherish you and our family so much,\" Legend wrote in a post that featured footage of his performance. \"We've experienced the highest highs and lowest lows together. Watching you carry our children has been so moving and humbling.\"

He continued, \"I'm in awe of the strength you've shown through the most challenging moments.\"

He also touched upon the origins of his song, \"Never Break,\" and how his wife influenced it.

\"I wrote this song because I have faith that as long as we walk this earth, we will hold each other's hands through every tear, through every up and down, through every test,\" he wrote. \"We promised each other this on our wedding day seven years ago, and every challenge we've faced has made that promise more powerful, more resilient.\"

\"Our love will remain. We will never break,\" he added.

The 11-time Grammy winner expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the fans and friends who have continually reached out to the family. However, Legend said the most profound condolences came from people who have an intimate understanding of what the family is enduring.

\"It's a club no one wants to be a part of, but it's comforting to know we're not alone,\" noted Legend.
