Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian’s relationship has been a topic of fascination ever since the two sparked romance rumors after sharing a kiss during an SNL sketch in 2021. Though their relationship ended in 2022, the two have remained cordial—but a recent incident suggests that Davidson isn’t quite ready to share the same space as his famous ex. Reports claim that the comedian made a swift exit from a star-studded SNL-related party when Kardashian arrived, sparking speculation about their current dynamic.
Pete Davidson’s Quick Exit
Over the weekend, Chris Rock hosted a lavish 60th birthday party at the Crane Club in New York City, coinciding with Saturday Night Live’s 50th-anniversary celebrations. The event was attended by a slew of A-listers, including Tom Hanks, Madonna, Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Jon Hamm. However, the night took an awkward turn when Kim Kardashian arrived, prompting Pete Davidson to leave the party almost immediately.
According to The Sun, Davidson was enjoying the festivities with friends until Kardashian walked in. A source revealed that one of Davidson’s friends quickly intervened, saying, “I gotta get Pete out of here. Pete’s got to go,” adding that the comedian “really can’t be around” the reality star. While the exact reason for his abrupt departure remains unclear, the incident has fueled rumors about lingering tension between the exes.
A Cordial Relationship—With Boundaries
Despite the party drama, sources close to Davidson and Kardashian insist that the two remain on good terms. A source told People Magazine that the exes briefly chatted at the event, but the conversation was far from romantic. “He has nothing but love and respect for Kim,” the insider explained. “He hopes everyone can move on.”
Another source previously revealed that Davidson maintains friendly relationships with most of his exes, including Kardashian. “He and Kim still talk occasionally. He’s a good guy,” the insider said. “They root for him.”
From SNL Sparks to a High-Profile Romance
Davidson and Kardashian first met in October 2021 when Kardashian hosted SNL. During a sketch where they played Aladdin and Princess Jasmine, the two shared a kiss that set the internet ablaze. Kardashian later reflected on the moment during an appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, saying, “When we kissed, I was just like, ‘Hmm!’ It was a stage kiss, but it was still like, a little zing.”
Their relationship quickly became one of the most talked-about romances of the year, but it wasn’t without its challenges. Kardashian’s ex-husband, Kanye West, publicly targeted Davidson on multiple occasions, leading to intense media scrutiny. The couple ultimately called it quits in August 2022 after nine months together.
