That’s someone who has received the big four, the holy grail of performance accolades: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards.

Legend, 39, completed the acronym at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, as did Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, all for producing best variety special winner Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert.

He’s also the first black man to land EGOT status, making history in more ways than one.

Legend also played the role of Jesus in NBC’s production of the 1970 concept album-turned-Broadway musical, so he’s also up for the Emmy for outstanding actor in a limited series or movie, which will be revealed at the big primetime Emmy Awards on Monday.

“Before tonight, only 12 people had won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony in competitive categories,” wrote Legend on Instagram.

“Sirs Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice and I joined that group when we won an Emmy for our production of their legendary show Jesus Christ Superstar. So happy to be part of this team. So honored they trusted me to play Jesus Christ. So amazed to be in such rarefied air.”

There are actually a total of 14 other EGOT recipients, including Audrey Hepburn, Scott Rudin, Mel Brooks. Two of these, Whoopi Goldberg and songwriter Robert Lopez, have won a daytime Emmy.

As a father himself, John Legend wants to make sure all children can communicate with their parents during the holidays.

The musician thinks this parent-and-child communication should include everyone — including those whose parents are currently incarcerated. Legend’s campaign FREEAMERICA, which has been working to transform America’s criminal justice system since 2015, partnered with Sesame Street to help kids “communicate with their parents who are away,” Legend, 38, tells PEOPLE.

“We incarcerate so many people, and a lot of times we forget about their kids that are left behind and how it feels for them to be without parents,” says Legend. “The emotional effect that it has on them, the financial effect it has on their families as well — I think a lot of times we forget about that toll of incarcerating so many people.

“[We’re] trying to bridge that gap so there’s stronger communication between the kids and their parents.”

In November, with help from The Osborne Association, five children (ages 4 to 12) visited the Sesame Street set and spoke to Muppets like Abby Cadabby. The conversations allowed the children to open up about their experience missing their parents, or even prepare them for what it might be like to visit them.

Many children who will be visiting their incarcerated parents over the holidays might not expect changes in their appearances — like having a new haircut or wearing a special uniform — and Sesame Street in Communities helps them deal with these realities. Legend visited the set to meet with the kids himself.

Videos of the kids’ visits will also be sent to their parents this winter, in order to help the families connect during the holidays.

Legend says that he cared about the issue before, but feels more connected to it recently now that he and wife Chrissy Teigen are parents to their 18-month-old daughter Luna (with another baby on the way).

“I think it’s just even more emotionally resonate now that I have a daughter, in thinking about what the impact of just me going on tour has on her, and how she misses me when I’m gone for a few weeks,” says Legend. “For kids that would have to deal with that for multiple years and not be able to contact their parents in the way that we can — you just can’t imagine how hard it is.”

Legend adds that Elmo is his daughter Luna’s “favorite character in life:” not just on Sesame Street. He says the show preaches a “beautiful message” to young people about loving and respecting one another.

“They really try to make the world better. They try to connect with kids who might be forgotten about or left behind, and they want to make us a more loving society, more connected to each other, more tolerant of each other’s differences,” he says. “I think it’s a beautiful mission.”

Legend also acknowledges that issues surrounding incarcerated individuals can be controversial, but says it is important for people to think of the impact that incarceration has on children.

“It’s not one of the more obvious causes I think a lot of celebrities would get involved with because it’s a bit controversial in a lot of ways,” he says.

“As much as people could instinctively think, ‘Well someone commits a crime then they should be punished,’ we should always remember that whenever we punish an individual we’re not just punishing them,” says Legend. “We need to think about the impact that it has on the families and the communities that are left behind.”

“The very first time John and I went [to Lake Como], we were in our first year of dating and it was so magical,” she recalls in an interview for Chase Sapphire’s Talking Travel series. “We say we fell in love there because it was such a beautiful place and the timing was perfect for us to take our relationship to the next level.”

The tears, of course, where the happy kind. “I remember crying when it was over because I wondered if anything could be so perfect again,” she says. “Luckily, we’ve gotten the chance to go back there many times since then.”

The couple shot the video for Legend’s song “All of Me” in the Northern Italy town (and did a goofy recreation of the steamy shoot while visiting in 2016), were married at a hotel there in September 2013, and have now made the trip with daughter Luna in tow.

“Lake Como will always have a special place in my heart,” she says. “Venice has so much charm, Florence has the best food, but Lake Como will always be my favorite place.”

The rest of Italy is a favorite stop for the family, too. “We go every year, and every year I love it,” says Teigen.

The cookbook author, who’s expecting her second child with Legend, even dishes on her favorite restaurants and hotels in the region. “The Gritti Palace in Venice is one of my favorite hotels anywhere. It’s right on the Grand Canal and the views are incredible,” she says.

Even a casual traveler is sure to have a memorable visit in the country, Teigen says. “Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong while you’re there.”

As a past Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, she knows what it takes for her body to be in tip top shape. However, she has made comments about society’s requirements for beauty being too demanding and ridiculous, particularly taking a stand on her Instagram. Teigen promotes a healthy body image for all the women and girls who follow her, even recently posting a picture of her stretch marks showing that even models have imperfections. (Really how could you not love her???)

In June, Chrissy posted a topless picture of herself from a photoshoot on Instagram, only to have one harsh user body shamed her by posting: “I like that she’s like F it that baby Fd my body up but so what.” Teigen has yet to have any children with husband John Legend, and posted a screenshot of the barely understandable comment and a rebuttal stating, “I can’t stop laughing #thatbabyf—–upmybodybutsowhat #nobaby.” Clearly, she has a sense of humor and if that’s what her body were to look like post-baby, then we all want it. She looks better supposedly post-baby, than we do pre-baby!
