LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: John Legend and Chrissy Teigen recently created headlines after claiming that they “have always considered” moving to New York where they previously lived. 

While the EGOT winner, 46, and his wife, 39, are hopeful of their move, social media users have given strong opinions against it.

Though some of the fans were understanding of their choice, several were left fuming after the pair shared their intention.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen ‘probably will’ move to New York

John Legend, who currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife Chrissy Teigen and their four children, Luna Simone, eight, and Miles Theodore, six, Esti Maxine and Wren Alexander, both one, and their menagerie of pets, shared that the couple would consider relocating to Big Apple when his little ones are all grown-ups.

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Legend said, "Chrissy and I have always considered returning to New York, where we once lived. We probably will, once our youngest ones grow up a bit.”

Adding that the family witnessed the destructive effects of the Palisades Fire, Legend said that "the danger felt too close for comfort."

Internet wants John Legend and Chrissy Teigen to move to 'another country'

As John Legend shared his and Chrissy Teigen's desires to leave California for New York, social media users had a lot to say on the matter. 

One of the social media users compared them to another California couple - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - saying, "They lost their crown as the most insufferable couple in California to Harry and Megan. That’s why they are moving."



 

"They're wealthy, NYC is a cool place for kids and they can have a home in the Hamptons for beach time getaways. We left CA in the 70s, never looked back," shared someone else. 



 

Another user was, however, not very welcoming to their consideration, as they noted, "I thought they were leaving the country. Somebody buy these two an atlas."



 

"Navigating coastlines of change—sea breezes over smog. Adaptation can redefine roots," added someone else. 



 

Another netizen chimed in, "Wait. They were leaving the country. We were so excited. What happened?"



 

"We don't want them here📍," boldly declared another social media user. 



 

"Try another country perhaps," sarcastically added a netizen, not happy with the news. 



 

Someone else noted, "Makes sense. It seems the whole world is moving to NYC."



 

"What happened to Chrissy proclaiming a move out of the US if Trump was elected?" asked another disgruntled user.
