"Kim is doing OK. I know Kim gave her all for everything," the 35-year-old said.

"It's honestly a shame that it didn't work out because I saw them being a forever relationship. I really did, but I know she tried her best."

Legend, 42, and West, 43, have been friends since 2001 when they were both aspiring artists.

They have remained close friends over the years, with the pair, along with their famous wives, regularly appearing in social media posts on date nights and at parties.

But Teigen revealed Legend hasn't been in too much contact with West amid news of his divorce.

"I will say I have definitely been in touch with Kim more than John has been in touch with Kanye," Teigen told Cohen.

"If anyone knows Kanye, it's that he goes off the grid and it's hard to ever contact him."

Kardashian, 40, and West have four children together. They were married in a lavish ceremony in Italy in 2014 following years of friendship.

Kardashian, who was recently dubbed a billionaire by Forbes, filed for divorce in March after much speculation their relationship was on the rocks.

According to court documents, Kardashian cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their divorce.

The pair have asked for joint legal and physical custody of their children North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 23 months.

They are also reportedly in agreeance on how to divide their $2.7 billion worth of assets and are "committed to co-parenting together".
