The TV personality kicked off her sweet speech about John with: "So this next performer is a brilliant musician and a wonderful father, who makes a pretty d**n good breakfast sandwich."
The brunette jokingly added: "And he has been known to write love songs about me. What can I say? I'm very inspiring."
Chrissy further gushed about John, 37, before slipping in a thought about the presidential election.
She said: "But his songs are bigger than either of us. And on the heels on what's been a really interesting f***ed up, f***ing election for all of us, I think we could all use a little love tonight."
She concluded her introduction with: "Performing his new single, Love Me Now, please welcome the love of my life - John Legend."
Chrissy and John, who welcomed their daughter Luna in April, first met in 2007 while on the set of his Stereo music video.
