The video features real couples from around the world.
"The video…features a diverse group of people from all over the world. From Standing Rock to Iraq, from Orlando to the DR. Love is universal. We all need it. We all can give it," he said at the time.
Now John Legend has shared the honest stories for each of the couples and it’s just so beautiful.
Firstly, he shared the story of Miles and LaDonna.
"Miles has dedicated his life to raising his 9 children and helping to raise his grandchildren alongside his wife of more than 30 years, LaDonna," he wrote. "LaDonna and Miles met in college, and for 30 years they have been praying for unity and solidarity, and working to help leave the world a better place.
He then shared the story of Abdulrahman and Zeren from Syria.
"Abdulrahman and Zeren met at a house party a year ago and fell in love quickly," he wrote. "Though their relationship was initially a secret, they were married a year later and are striving to build a life together at Domiz."
He then told the tale of Nata and Julissa and their lives in the backstreets of Cabarete Town, Dominican Republic, an impoverished neighborhood of Dominicans and Haitians known as “La Cienega.”
"[T]hey have each other and they have the ocean. Just a few kilometers from the place they call home, is Encuentro Beach, a famous surf town, where Julissa and Nata surf together," he wrote.
Finally, he told the story of Norman Casiano and Ryan Cunnington from Orlando, Florida.
"Norman frequented Pulse nightclub and felt safe there until June 12th, when a gunman rained fire on them and some close friends. Norman was shot twice and although his life changed dramatically on that night, he has begun his healing process and continues to do better thanks to his friends and family," he wrote.
John also thanked the director of the video, Nabil Elderkin, for capturing these tender moments between the couples.
