The romance between Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson was incredibly memorable, although short-lived. From their meeting on Saturday Night Live to their appearances together on the red carpet, Kim and Pete were a constant part of the news. Unfortunately, the couple broke up in August 2022, after almost a year of dating, but it was clear that they still had a lot of respect for each other. She even mentioned her ex-boyfriend in her interview for «Call Her Daddy» in October 2025. Now that the breakup is in the past, let’s remember why they split up.
When Kim and Pete broke up in August 2022, it shocked many fans. Although neither of them commented on the breakup immediately afterwards, sources close to the couple reported that they had «a lot of love and respect for each other», - according to E! News. Insider sources also said that busy schedules and being in different parts of the country «made it very difficult to maintain the relationship».
After their breakup, a source told Hollywood Life exclusively that they discussed the breakup when she visited him on the set of the show «The Wizards». «When she was in Australia, although they had a great time, they also had very deep conversations that led them to the final decision to break up», - they said. «There were a lot of obstacles against them. There is still a huge attraction and strong bond between them, so it didn’t end badly».
Kim also opened up about the breakup at the premiere of the third season of «The Kardashians» in May 2023. «We just talked and talked, we discussed it», - she explained via E! News. «So it was just good for both of us to talk about it. Obviously, it’s sad».
She also seemed to hint at the many headlines following her ex Kanye West’s attacks on Pete. «There was a lot of blame», - she said. «He went through a lot because of my relationships».
One of the most surprising headlines related to Kim and Pete’s romance was that he got tattoos that seemed to refer to her. Fans believed he removed a tattoo that said «My girlfriend is a lawyer» when he was spotted on the set of his show «Bupkis». When photos of him shirtless in Hawaii surfaced in January, fans noticed that the tattoo with Kim’s initials and her children’s initials had disappeared, as well as the Aladdin design that referred to their SNL skit.
Months after the breakup, the exes showed that they were on good terms. They were spotted at the Met Gala in May 2023, and they were photographed chatting together with Usher. They seemed to be in good spirits, conversing.
As Kim and Pete’s relationship gained momentum, fans were excited and eager to see him appear on «The Kardashians». Unfortunately, the comedian only appeared in one episode of the second season. Kim opened up about how they discussed whether he would appear on the show in one of the episodes of the series. «It's hard when you start dating someone and live your life on a reality show», - she said in the June 2023 episode. «Pete and I discussed it right away. You know what you’re getting into. But then fans were saying, 'Pete's not in the show'. And I said, 'We talked about this from the beginning. It’s not his business'. Then I opened up and invited him to the show. I talked about everything»
