Kim Kardashian is giving a little more insight into the end of her headline-making romance [1] with Pete Davidson. In the season three premiere of "The Kardashians," [2] which dropped on May 25, Kardashian chatted with her sister Khloé Kardashian and friend Scott Disick about moving on from Davidson.
"Breakups are just like not my thing," she said, elaborating, "It's just — I'm proud of myself. We just had talks and talks, we had been talking about [ending it] . . . both of us communicating really well about it."
In an interview, Kardashian confirmed to viewers that she was single at the time of filming — "and I'm not ready to mingle, and that's OK." She said in the conversation footage that she doesn't have "random hookups and relationships." She also admitted that "there was like a lot of guilt" over the split [3], as "[Davidson] went through a lot because of my relationship." Davidson was the target of numerous hateful public attacks [4] from Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West [5] during the comedian's relationship with her, which lasted nine months from October 2021 to August 2022.
In the penultimate episode of "The Kardashians" season three, which aired on July 20, the Skims cofounder reflected on her split from West, explaining to sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner that she "jumped into another relationship so fast" with Davidson. "It got my mind away from stuff, and that's not a way to run from things," she shared. Kardashian also told her sisters she practices a new mantra now: "It's better to like deal, heal . . . and then feel."
In August 2022, sources told "Entertainment Tonight" [6] that the "spark" between Kardashian and Davidson faded as they tried to make their romance work long distance amid work commitments. "They had tons of chemistry, and still do, but she kind of wants to be single and date," the source said at the time. "Kim still adores Pete and will always be friends with him. She still thinks he's the nicest and sweetest guy in the world and there's no drama or anything weird between them now."
Kardashian, 42, and Davidson, 29, reunited [7] at the 2023 Met Gala back in May. The former couple were photographed chatting inside the party with Usher [8]. Both attended the event solo, though Davidson has moved on following their breakup with his "Bupkis" costar Chase Sui Wonders [9].
"The Kardashians" is streaming now on Hulu.
