Chrissy Teigen and Kim Kardashian West have been friends for years

Teigen and Kardashian West have been friends for years. They first met in 2010 when Teigen and her now-husband John Legend went on a double date with Kardashian West and her then-boyfriend Reggie Bush.

Since then, the two stars have remained close. Teigen and Legend even attended Kardashian West’s wedding in 2014. As the years went on, Teigen and Kardashian West even started bonding over motherhood—both went through in vitro fertilization and now have young kids.

The moment Chrissy Teigen realized Kim Kardashian West was just like everyone else

Kardashian West seems like a larger-than-life personality to many people, and Teigen admitted she initially thought so, too. However, Teigen shared that when they first met, she realized something extremely “normal” about Kardashian West.

“The night Chrissy and I first met, we bonded in the bathroom while she helped zip me up,” Kardashian West wrote on her app in 2016, according to E! News. “We became good friends pretty fast after that, LOL!”

In a video of Teigen and Kardashian West chatting together, Teigen said, “I remember this because I was so nervous to meet you. I don’t know. I’d been watching. I knew all about you. I felt kind of like a weirdo.”

She added, “”You made me feel so much better because we went to the bathroom and you had me zip you up. [I was like] ‘Oh my gosh! She has spanx on. She’s cool. She’s normal.’ Yeah I remember that pretty well for some reason.”
