Legend said they further fell in love during a \"the most perfect trip\" to Villa d'Este in Italy's Lake Como, saying, \"As we were saying goodbye at the airport, I knew I had fallen in love with Chrissy Teigen.\"

Things came full circle when Legend tapped Elderkin to shoot the \"All of Me\" music video at Lake Como, the same spot they'd exchange their wedding vows.

\"Our love story started with flirtation, conversations in the dark, and blossomed into a marriage and two beautiful kids,\" said Legend.

The two wed in 2013 and share children Luna, 4, and Miles, 2.
