Attention, Sports Illustrated: Chrissy Teigen has given her stamp of approval to put Kim Kardashian on the cover.

"She would be fantastic," the 28-year-old cover girl exclusively tells E! News. "I mean if there is a swimsuit body out there, its Kim Kardashian, my goodness!"

We agree! Particularly after the recent bikini pics in which the E! star's famous backside is on full display, and Teigen couldn't help but comment on the photos from Kim's latest shoot in Thailand.

"I mean that's a pretty amazing bikini body that I would never ever have—I mean ever!" she said. "I don't know what I can possibly do to ever have that body. I mean there are no barre classes I can go to hard enough to ever get a waist and hips and bum like that! There is just no way! It's just not my body type; it's just not in the cards for me."

Still, Teigen's bod is undoubtedly one to be envied as well—a fact which is obvious based on her endless naked pics, so who takes the revealing shots she loves to post on her Instagram account?

"I usually take them myself," she confessed. "John [Legend] takes lots of them. People are always surprised to hear that he takes the photos, but we're together all the time, so of course he takes the photos! I am not going to have his tour manager do it," she added with a laugh.

As for how the adorable couple keeps the spark alive?

"We don't get to be together as often as we like, so when we do get to be together, you want to make the most of it and have fun with it because you might not see them tomorrow," she shared before confessing, "So trust me, this morning was a good morning for us, 'cause we were not going to see each other for a few days."

Teigen also touched on her past feud with Amanda Bynes (the two previously engaged in a Twitter war), and had nothing but kind things to say about the former Nickelodeon star now that she is seemingly living a healthy life post-rehab.

"It was a one-sided feud," she said. "She looks happy and healthy, and I am happy to see her parents are in the picture. Since this entire thing happen a year ago, I have always wished her the best, and she seems to be in a really great place now, and you can't want anything more for her, and you can't wish bad upon anybody, so I think she should just keep going, 'cause she is on a great track now."

And last but certainly not least, we couldn't help but ask Teigen her thoughts on Kate Middleton's style as Prince George's mama continues to turn heads while on her royal tour Down Under.

"Oh my god, Kate has amazing style. She keeps it very simple and very chic—not a big risk taker, but neither am I," she said. "Everything she wears is perfectly tailored, whether it's from H&M or Bergdorf's."
