Exploring the relationship between Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian

Less than a year after Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West in February 2021, dating rumors between her and Pete Davidson began in October, of the same year. The two were one of the couples who were brought together on the sets of SNL.

In October 2021, Kim acted in a sketch opposite Pete, in which they both played the characters Aladdin and Jasmine. The highlight of the act was reportedly that they kissed in the end. In April 2022, Kim Kardashian recalled the moment and spoke about it on Amanda Hirsch's Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.

Kim said:

"When we kissed, I was just like, 'Hmm!' It was a stage kiss, but it was still like, a little zing."

According to PEOPLE, the relationship rumors between the two sparked particularly after they were spotted together at Knott's Scary Farm during Halloween. The outlet reportedly obtained photos in which Kim and Pete were seen holding hands.

In November 2021, Kim Kardashian even threw a party to celebrate Pete's 28th birthday. Since then, they have been seen several times grabbing breakfast or dinner. In January 2022, they even went on a trip to the Bahamas.

Only in February, Pete Davidson called Kim his girlfriend for the first time. This happened during a conversation with Kay Adams, host of PEOPLE (The TV Show!). In March 2022, the couple first went Instagram official, and months later in May, they attended the Met Gala together.

In August 2022, sources told PEOPLE that Kim and Pete had broken up. During an episode of The Kardashians aired in July 2023, Kim Kardashian revealed that she possibly should have taken time to heal after splitting from her ex-husband Kanye West.
