Though he also revealed that he was still very fond of his wife.
"Though I was very into her and very excited to be with her," he said.
The root cause of him not being a great partner was because he was "selfish".
"I was more selfish then," he said.
He also admitted that age played a role in how he behaved.
"I was in my mid-20s, still not ready to fully be the committed partner I am now," he said.
In September, Legend took to Instagram to celebrate their anniversary.
"I married my Wonder Woman 9 years ago today. Happy Anniversary, my love. You never cease to amaze me," he wrote.
