John Legend and Chrissy Teigen may have one of Hollywood's longest lasting and upbeat relationships, but that doesn't mean the couple hasn't suffered their fair share of ups and downs. In fact, the two almost broke up at one point! Key word: almost.

Speaking to The Guardian, Legend revealed that during a particularly stressful time in his career, he tried to call things off with the supermodel, only to be hilariously rebuffed.

“I was really stressed and busy,” he shared. “I was just like, ‘I’d just be happier single right now,’ and she was like: ‘No.’”

Well, that's one way to keep a relationship!

On Monday (September 4), Teigen addressed the brief split (which lasted less than two hours) on Twitter, explaining, “It wasn't a typical breakup. He was on tour and his voice hurt and he was being a whiny face about everything and so yeah, I was like ‘no.’"
