AceShowbiz - Chrissy Teigen and John Legend made a rare joint appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". In the Thursday, May 2 episode of the talk show, the couple was accompanied by two of their four beloved dogs, Petey, a giant poodle, and Penny, a French bulldog.
The couple launched their dog food and treat line, Kismet, on May 1, and they couldn't resist sharing their furry family with the world. "We have four kids, four dogs. It was time," Teigen explained about the inspiration behind Kismet. "I'm very invested in the food world, so this is a natural extension of it."
Teigen and Legend introduced Petey, a massive and photogenic poodle donning a Kismet bandana. The affectionate canine gave Jimmy Fallon a heartwarming hug while standing on his hind legs. "What in the world are you? You're beautiful!" Fallon exclaimed with a smile.
"That's Petey, he likes to hug," Legend explained. "And this is Penny, our three-legged friend. We got her from a rescue. She was abused. She's our oldest dog at 10.5 years old."
Teigen shared that Penny has witnessed every major life event the couple has experienced, from the birth of their children to their heartbreaks. "She's seen every part of us," Teigen said. "She's our everything."
Fallon presented the dogs with some Kismet treats, and Petey couldn't resist giving him one last adorable hug. In addition to Petey and Penny, Legend and Teigen also have two other dogs: Pearl the Basset Hound and their newest addition, Pebbles.
"We've been pet parents for so long, and this [Kismet] is so core to who we are," Legend said. "That was our first experience parenting together."
The couple hopes that Kismet will foster a sense of community among dog owners and celebrate the special bond between people and their canine companions.
