Who Is Kim Kardashian Dating?
Kim Kardashian's Complete Relationship History, From Nick Cannon to Pete Davidson
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson (Fall 2021-August 2022)
Kardashian met "SNL" comedian Pete Davidson August 2021. She told the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast that Davidson had talked to her about hosting "SNL." The two grew closer, when Kardashian hosted "Saturday Night Live" in October 2021 and they appeared in a skit parodying "Aladdin" together. In the skit, the SKIMS founder shared a brief kiss with Davidson, and later that evening, the two hit it off immediately and exchanged phone numbers, according to Us Weekly.
Kardashian and Davidson did not confirm or deny their romantic relationship for months despite several public appearances at the end of 2021, ranging from a pumpkin patch trip with Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker to dining at one of Davidson's favorite restaurants in Staten Island. The two took their relationship to a more serious level in January 2022 and kicked off the new year by vacationing together in the Bahamas.
The early months of 2022 were a particularly eventful time for the couple, as Davidson's beef with Kanye West was at an all-time high. The rapper openly shared his negative opinions about his ex-wife's new beau on social media, from releasing a list of people he had beef with (which included Oprah, Barack Obama, and the entire cast of "SNL") to sharing a graphic music video, which showed West kidnapping and burying Davidson alive. This all added a significant layer of drama to Kardashian's fresh relationship. Despite all this, Davidson reportedly defended his new girlfriend to West in several leaked text messages to the rapper and even encouraged a sit-down between the two, according to a report by "Today".
Outside of the drama with West, Kardashian and Davidson were seemingly happy together and even made public appearances at the 2022 Met Gala and White House Correspondents' Dinner. In March 2022, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star gushed about Davidson on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," saying, "It feels good. . . . I think it's just in life, like no matter what it is . . . I encourage my friends and the people that I love just to be happy, and I went for it." In the same interview, Kardashian revealed that Davidson had "a few tattoos" of her, and she thought it was "so cute."
Ultimately, the two called it quits on their romance last summer. News of the couple's split broke on Aug. 5, 2022, with sources citing the pairs' demanding schedules. Davidson has since moved on with Chase Sui Wonders.
During the June 8 episode of "The Kardashians," Kardashian hinted at what might have gone awry with Davidson. "You obviously learn from every situation and the one thing I learned from my last situation was like the media made me feel like I was in a very serious relationship so quickly," she explained.
