Despite rumors claiming Pete Davidson was missing Saturday Night Live rehearsals to explore his romance with Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kim Kardashian, it seems the 28-year-old comic has perfect attendance. Pete and Kim first sparked dating headlines in October 2021 after Kim hosted SNL, and the pair were spotted spending time together in NYC. After going on a few groups dates, Kim confirmed that she and Pete were officially dating as the KUWTK star focused on having fun after her hectic marriage to Kanye West. Kanye and Kim are parents to North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2
Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from her 7-year-long marriage to Kanye in early 2020. As the first public relationship the KUWTK star has navigated since filing for divorce from Kanye, all eyes have been on Pete to see how sparks will fly. Pete and Kim spent a week in the Caribbean after the holidays. Those closest to Kim have confirmed that the Skims founder is having fun dating the SNL fan-favorite. Kanye has been unecstatic about the romance heating up despite beginning a relationship with Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox. Kim filed to be declared legally single at the end of 2021, and it appears her connection with Pete is only growing stronger.
While Pete is busier than usual as he integrates into the Kardashian lifestyle, an SNL spokesperson confirmed to Page Six that Pete hasn’t missed a single rehearsal for the hit sketch comedy show. Pete and Kim have been spending time together more than ever, but not to cause conflict on SNL. The romance escalating led to Kanye releasing a diss track about Pete, threatening to kick “Pete Davison’s -ss”. The false rumors of Pete missing SNL rehearsals to spend time with Kim spread earlier this week, claiming that the King of Staten Island star has become a diva since dating a Kardashian. When responding to these rumors, the NBC representative simply stated, “It’s not true.”
Regardless of the media attention and confrontations from Kim’s ex-husband Pete seems to be having fun dating the KUWTK star. Pete is no stranger to dating A-listers. The SNL cast member was briefly engaged to Ariana Grande in 2018. Dating a Kardashian comes with its fair share of publicity, and Pete seems to be rolling with the punches, even joking about having “more fun” since dating Kim in last week’s episode of SNL. In response to Kanye’s diss track and the tabloid’s excessive scrutiny, sources close to Pete have stated that he finds the entire ordeal “totally hilarious.”
Dating a Kardashian is bound to break headlines, and Pete and Kim have been on many KUWTK fans’ minds since they first began dating in 2021. There is something arguably entertaining about observing the larger-than-life reality TV mogul date the famously down-to-earth class clown that is Pete Davidson. Both Kim and Pete have such distinct brands, which is perhaps why the romance is fun for the public to contemplate. That said, knowing if Pete will be Kim’s next true love is yet to be determined as the pair continues to navigate the relationship. Those that enjoy truly Keeping Up With the Kardashians are bound to find out with time.
