Singer John Legend and model wife Chrissy Teigen are set to headline the House Democratic Caucus retreat in Leesburg, Va., later this month.
Legend and Teigen’s appearance was confirmed by Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries of New York this past Tuesday.
“Thanks to tremendous leadership of our Speaker, we'll be hearing from John legend and Chrissy Teigen,” said Jeffries in his announcement.

In an interview with CNBC, Legend spoke about his political actions. “Honestly, it’s probably not good for business. It’s probably alienating some people and I understand that, but I think it’s worth the risk for me. Because I care enough about these issues that I cannot just be silent.”
The power couple have been extremely vocal in their anti-Trump sentiments, with Legend going as far to even call President Trump a “f—king embarrassment” on Twitter.

In an interview with USA Today, Teigen said, "I've actually been a big Donald Trump hater [or a long time]. I've been trolling him for about five to seven years now," she said. "I've been doing this forever, and I take pride in that."
