Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson: Are they dating?
Could this unlikely couple be hiding a secret relationship?
Fresh off of her divorce from Kanye West, there are extensive rumors that Kim Kardashian, 41 and Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson, 27 are in a romantic relationship. In January it was announced that Kim and Kanye West were getting a divorce, after a long and rather turbulent relationship together. While in August, Davidson and his former girlfriend Phoebe Dynevor were rumored to have broken up after five months of dating. These rumors started when Kim was a guest host on Saturday Night Live, where Davidson is a cast member. As a part of an Aladdin-themed skit during the show, shown below, Kardashian and Davidson are shown kissing. This episode of Saturday Night Live was filmed in the beginning of October 2021.
While many probably did not think much of this “kiss” at the time, Kim and Pete’s rumored relationship went viral when they were spotted holding hands on a roller coaster ride during a trip to Knotty’s Scary Farm in California on October 29, just a few weeks after the Aladdin episode was filmed. The picture of Kardashian and Davidson holding hands ultimately went viral, appearing on popular media outlets such as Daily Mail, Entertainment Today, and Page Six.
On November 2, Davidson and Kardashian enjoyed a very private meal at Campania in Pete’s hometown of Staten Island, New York. It was rumored that even security guards were not present at this meal. The very next day, on November 3, the pair were observed going on a second date night at Zero Bond, a private night club in New York City. According to a source from Page Six, Kim and Pete “were smiling and laughing a lot and seemed genuinely affectionate with each other.” When leaving the dinner at Zero Bond, Kim was described as being “happy and smiley.” Although this was a group dinner with about 10 of their mutual friends, there is no denying the fact that these two are most likely romantically linked.
But, this so called relationship has not come without drama. During an interview on Revolt TV’s Drink Champs on November 4, Kanye West insisted that him and Kim are “not even divorced”. Further, he added, “I want us to be together.” Additionally, sources close to Kanye and Kim claim that because of Kim’s possible newfound relationship with Pete, Kanye could possibly be on the verge of a mental breakdown.
On November 8, it was announced from a source from Entertainment Today that “Kim and Pete are casually dating and seeing where things go.” The source goes on to state that “Pete is really into Kim and excited about her. Kim likes Pete as well, but isn’t rushing into anythings serious.” Although these rumors are not yet confirmed, it seems pretty obvious that these Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are becoming more than friends.
