Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s are certified dog lovers. Before they became parents to their kids, they were doting pet parents to Puddy whom they adopted in 2008. Sadly, Puddy died in 2018 and a second furry friend, Pippa, passed in 2021. But now, the star’s house is filled with a lot of pups. Here is everything we know about Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s dog’s ages and breeds.
How old are Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s dogs Pearl, Penny, and Petey?
Pearl
The age of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend dog Pearl is not clear. But they adopted the puppy in 2021. The couple welcomed their new companion just a few weeks after the passing of their beloved 10-year-old French bulldog Pippa. The model introduced the “little girl” in a series of Instagram post which instantly melted everyone’s heart.
Penny
The couple’s three-legged rescue dog, Penny, was born on their wedding day in 2013. Sadly, their furry companion “passed on peacefully in her sleep” recently. The model shared the heartbreaking news on her social media handle on January 26, 2025. Penny was 11 when she breathed her last. On Valentine’s Day, the couple even dedicated a romantic jazz song, “L-O-V-E” by Nat “King” Cole to the ashes of their late dog, Penny, who was their “oldest dog.”
Petey
The age of Petey is not known. He joined the family in 2020 as a pup with a little help from talk show host Ellen DeGeneres who used social media to spread the word about eight rescue puppies who needed a home. Upon seeing the post, Chrissy Teigen and husband John Legend were keen on adopting one of the puppies, and they picked Petey — who is named after the parakeet from the movie “Dumb and Dumber.” The couple even thanked the host on Instagram for making them aware of the pup.
Both Penny and Petey have appeared on “The Tonight Show” with Chrissy Teigen and John Legend who were there to promote their business venture: Kismet, a dog food and treat line. Host Jimmy Fallon was immediately blown away by their cuteness.
