How the rumor that Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian originated
The internet was on par between being flabbergasted and a little puzzled by Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson holding hands over Halloween weekend. But what was billed as a simple group stunt is now seen as a true reunion in its own right – as the two reportedly had several dinners together on the East Coast last week. So how did their supposed adventure actually come about? Well, that supposedly involves some second opinions.
Since filing for divorce from rapper Kanye West in February, speculation has linked her to everyone from CNN commentator Van Jones to Drake – with a few others jokingly tossing their hats in the ring. Not Pete Davidson, however. His tattoos and his wacky improvisation experience are not at all close to his usual type. Still, they were technically friends of friends, Davidson being close to Travis Barker and, by extension, his new fiancée Kourtney Kardashian. And apparently those in that inner circle actually encouraged Kim to consider romance with the SNL funny man. A source from Us Weekly said:
One of the first things Kim did was get advice from her family and friends, and they all encouraged her to go. It’s been very evident for some time now that she’s lacked in fun and laughter in her life, and of course, Pete has plenty of it.
It was speculated that Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson really went from being friends to something more when she hosted Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago. They even shared a kiss as Disney’s Aladdin and Jasmine during a skit. But to be fair, she also made some hilarious jokes with Mikey Day during their turns as Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, respectively. So maybe the so-called adventure started before SNL, and Davidson had somehow convinced Kim to become the first in her immediate family to try accommodation.
Amid all the handshakes, kisses and jokes, Kanye West is apparently not happy with the situation. He recently claimed that he hadn’t even seen the divorce papers and that his ex-wife’s inner circle made him want “a new marriage, a new episode, a new TV show”. However, the Us Weekly source indicated that his family and friends are moving lightly regarding the King of Staten Island star too. They said:
People are happy for Kim, but at the same time, they urge her not to get carried away or to get too carried away. Pete has this reputation as a heartbreaker for a reason, and while his intentions may be honorable, there is a slight fear that Kim is preparing for a vulnerable situation.
Much like Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson indeed has a long history of relationships with famous people. He was notoriously engaged to singer Ariana Grande in 2018 before they went their separate ways. After which, the star went on to date Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber and even Bridgertonit’s Phoebe Dynevor.
However, it seems pretty obvious who could be more of a heart breaker between Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson. I mean, one of them dressed in a long wedding dress for the breakup album of the century. And not for SNL…
