    ICYMI, John Legend is People's 2019 Sexiest Man Alive, and naturally Chrissy Teigen had the best reaction. Before the big reveal she tweeted, "I have big news and it’s killing me I can’t say it and it’s not a baby." Of course, she left fans wondering what the f was up.

    Once the news broke last night, Chrissy had the most Chrissy reaction ever. Or should I say reaction(s). "My secret is out. I have fulfilled my dream of having boned @people's sexiest man alive!! an honor!!!!!"
