Who is Chrissy Teigen?

Christine ‘Chrissy’ Teigen, 37, was born on November 30, 1985, in Utah to father Ron, who is of Norwegian descent, and mother Vilailuck, who is from Thailand.

Ron worked as an electrician and took jobs all around the US, which meant the family was often on the move and lived in Hawaii, Idaho, and Washington before settling in California when Chrissy was a teenager.

Having grown up watching and learning from her mother how to cook, Chrissy had ambitions to be a chef until she was discovered by a photographer while working in a surf shop.

Teigen, who like Trump is active on Twitter, responded: “lol what a p***y ass bitch. tagged everyone but me. An honor, mister president."

“Ah yes, Melania is otherwise occupied. My apologies, @realDonaldTrump,” wrote Legend.
