After starting a highly publicized romance in November 2021, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have split. The news was revealed by a source close to the couple, who said that the two have decided to be friends.
Despite having their love tattooed on their skin in not just one, not two, but as many as five designs, Kim Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson have split after being romantically involved for a little over nine months.
The distance and constant work commitments of both the businesswoman - who is focused on her multiple businesses - and the comedian - who has spent much of his time filming a new movie in Australia - are said to be just some of the reasons.
A source close to the couple revealed to Page Six that “Kim and Pete have decided to just be friends. They have a lot of love and respect for each other , but the long distance and their demanding schedules have made their relationship difficult.” According to the insider, the breakup between Kim and Pete has nothing to do with Kanye West , ex-husband and father of the TV star's children. “They have been focusing on their co-parenting relationship.” So far neither Kim nor Pete have spoken openly about the breakup. At the moment, she has not deleted the photograph that she has with her now ex-partner.
The first kiss between the comedian and the businesswoman occurred during a sketch about Aladdin and Jasmine last October, on the famous television show “Saturday Night Live” . At the time, Kim assured that it had only been "a kiss on stage that was fun, but did not involve an intense feeling."
Despite that first impression, the TV star and comedian's inner circle revealed that their good chemistry was evident ever since. “She was shy and giggly around him,” an “SNL” source told Star magazine , “Pete made her laugh and there was obviously a connection between them.”
Kim later admitted that she had had more than a fleeting feeling, particularly since Pete didn't come to her party after their encounter on the show: “I thought about it later, I said 'Damn, he's the only person who didn't come. '”. Months later, that kiss became a tattoo that Pete Davidson got to remember the moment forever. The comedian wrote the names “Jasmine and Aladdin” on his collarbone.
After several demonstrations of affection in public, the romance between Pete Davidson and Kim became official in November 2021 ; from that moment they both said they were happy to see how far love would take them. “She (Kim) is telling some people that she's not serious yet, but she's not dating anyone else. She was trying not to make a big deal out of it, but she was really in love with him,” a source told E! News at the time.
According to another source, Pete was for Kim like “a breath of fresh air, compared to Kanye. He needs someone who doesn't take himself or life too seriously.” In this way, people close to the famous businesswoman showed that the relationship had no pretense of being very extensive; they were just getting carried away.
