Chrissy Teigen is an American model.
Her father is of Norwegian and German descent. Her mother is Thai. Chrissy is married to musician John Legend, with whom she has two children.
Chrissy’s paternal grandfather was Henry Elmer Teigen (the son of Hans Iversen Teigen and Ida Helmin Dahl). Henry was born in North Dakota. Hans was the son of Iver Hansen Kirketeigen/Teigen and Kari Olsdatter Stigen, who were born in Oppland, Norway. Ida was also Norwegian.
Chrissy’s paternal grandmother was Ruth H. Schafer (the daughter of Richard John Schafer and Minnie Augusta Heller). Ruth was born in North Dakota. Richard was born in Minnesota, of German descent, the son of Mathias Schäfer and Katherine Maria Warmuth. Minnie was a German immigrant, from Flatow, Brandenburg, and was the daughter of John Albert Heller and Rosella Frantz.
Chrissy possibly has remote English roots. Her ninth great-grandmother, Susanna Stevens, was from Oberlangen. Susanna’s surname is of English origin. However, it is not clear if Susanna was of English ancestry.

She isn’t black
HAHAHAHAHA
Chrissy has possibly remote English roots. Her 9th great-grandmother was Susanna Stevens, of Oberlangen. Susanna’s surname is of English origin. However, it is not clear if Chrissy has English ancestry.
Stevens can also be Dutch, and Oberlangen is near the Dutch border. Occam’s razor tells me she was more likely to be Dutch than English.
Richard Schafer’s father, Mathias “Matthew/Matt” Schäfer, was probably born in Luxembourg. However, I cannot confirm that yet.
Hans I. Teigen’s middle name is Iversen. He had no middle name at the time of his confirmation to the Lutheran Church.
I looked at Chrissy’s genealogy and her paternal grandmother was an ethnic German. Ruth’s maiden surname is Schafer. She was the daughter of Richard John Schafer and Minnie Augusta Heller. Minnie was a German immigrant, from Flatow, Brandenburg.
She looks like an ethnic version of Khloe Kardashian.
BTW, I thought she was half black when I first saw her.
I think Hans I. Teigen’ middle name may be patronymic.
Ida Helmin’s maiden surname is Dahl.
Ida was listed here in 1895 Minnesota state census: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQ6Y-VKG
She must have screwed a bunch of casting directors to get to where she is. She is hideous, the only thing she has going for her is her body and her height. Typical famewhore, John Legend is too good for her.
she is cute and her eyes say HERE IS YOUR TOM YUM SOUP
Asia written all over her face. I think Asian people are just a good looking race/ethnic Group of people.
There should be more Eurasian celebrities like her. They’re underrepresented. Asian and European mixture make beautiful kids.
Looks a bit black, maybe it’s because some Southeast Asians look “black”. A lot of Thai people and Filipinos look Blasian.
Nothing about this woman looks African! What the hell? Some of yall really see what yall want to see or troll. They first you don’t see when you see her is part black. You see an asian woman. Lol she looks black LOL put an African women next to her or someone part black and asian like T Woods. Tiger looks part black or a darker asian man but not chrissy.
@CWM85 you need to study African history more the aboriginal people of Asia ALL resemble black Africans. yes they are called “negritos” short black people. Do you know the “mani” are black THAI people. Some scientists say they are not related to Africans but I digress as the Out of Africa theory has proven everyone to come OUT OF AFRICA. Yes this woman does look a bit black and for good reason. Click on the link to see the aborigines of THAILAND. BLACK PEOPLE

Many of the Thailand aborigines are black negritos called “the mani”, google them
She’s so ugly & she’s a whore.
for me shes beautiful but im a white men and i love black girls and asian girls.
I cringe when white men date/marry women of color, they usually have fetishes and like feeling superior. I have a couple of friends with Asian mothers and white fathers and they resent their fathers and wish their mother wouldn’t have married their father. They don’t date white men, they hate them.
Sounds like you have a mental health issue…
lol she might be a whore but i think she’s cute
why do all these asian and white mixed people turn out looking mexican? she looks hispanic.
It’s no wonder because Mexicans or Native Americans they carry both Asian and European genes I mean being exactly not genes but face features which was caused by this merciless nature it’s logical when e.g. Englishman and Chinese woman mix they get latinoamerican “kid-face”)))It’s an axiom, unfortunately)))
There is not something like looking hispanic.If that would be the case,it would not be a indigenous descent but a 100% Spanish white person
People are so ignorant aren’t they? People can look asian and white. Black and white, native and white but no one can look Hispanic. Hispanic only means spanish speaking…
@WTF very uneducated statement you have made. Mexican is not a race. Mexicans are a combination of white, indian, and African peoples. They mixed to create Mexicans and modern day Mexico. There are three main distinct racial categories only, white, black and indian/asian. Evry other country is a mixture. Arab and hispanic are not races. Hispanic is a language and Arab is an organized religeon and a a way of life.
correction
She is welsh, norweigian, english, irish, scottish, native american, and possibly remote african
I’m sorry but shes very ugly, should not be a model!
Half white?? She looks straight up Thai. Asian genes sure are strong.
… have you ever been to thailand?
Very strong)) ugliness always dominates over beauty))) OMG this’s devil’s world))Moreover, those Asians Are so fertile and baby-obsessed that it’s no wonder if in 60-70 years we will have once race:: eurasianafrican)))
That’s already the case for 60% of the world….
correction; her eyes are hazel (light brown) and her hair is dark brown (brunette) I think it should be listed
