We've been blessed with over ten years of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lovin' on red carpets and in Snapchat videos. To imagine a world in which the two of them are not together seems almost impossible.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Teigen explains that while everything is fine and dandy with their 11 year relationship today, at one point before their marriage, Legend tried to end things with the supermodel. Thank goodness it didn't last.

"Early on in the relationship, I was on tour with him and he’d gotten sick. He was feeling really bummed and stressed out. He was like, 'I can’t be in a relationship right now.' That lasted for one day," Teigen told the magazine.

"Literally, a day. I knew it came from a place other than us not working," she explained. "It was the stress of him having to maybe cancel a show, and he had never been in a real relationship—or so he says now. I always joke, 'Remember when you tried to break up with me?' He’s like, 'Yes, sorry. Big mistake.'"

Because it's the internet, fans quickly pulled up the GIFs that best embodied Teigen's "no."

Who knows what would have happened if John had tried to do it with a Spotify playlist.
