From working as models together on Deal or No Deal to relying on each other for emotional support during tough times in their lives, it seems Meghan Markle and Chrissy Teigen are two peas in a pod. Their closeness was echoed on social media when Chrissy and her husband John Legend, who live in Beverly Hills just a two-hour drive from Montecito, shared their joy at becoming the latest A-listers to join the Duchess of Sussex's select circle of 'jamfluencers'. While others have simply posed by the jam jars in picturesque settings and uploaded them on social media, the model and her husband took things one step further and tried the jam in a recipe on Instagram, claiming that the meal was 'one of the best bites we've had all year' and made them 'happy' for the entire weekend. Only 50 of Meghan's closest celebrity pals got sent a limited-edition jar of her jam as part of her 'soft launch' to the brand. And it's no wonder, as the pair have more than just their penchant for food and career starts in common. Back in 2014, Chrissy and Meghan were snapped alongside Nina Agdal and Shay Mitchell in New York City as they participated in the DirecTV Beach Bowl at Pier 40 Chrissy has praised the former senior royal for being 'wonderful and so kind' by reaching out to her with a touching letter when she was going through a tough time. The model said on the Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen After Show: 'She's been so kind to me ever since we connected, she had written to me about baby Jack and loss. 'She is really wonderful and so kind, and just as kind as everyone says she is. She's a really wonderful girl.'
