'Kiss with a little zing': Inside Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson's sweet romance that started with SNL skit
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Kardashians' star and Pete Davidson have ended their relationship and decided to remain friends as per sources. According to insiders, while the couple has "a lot of love and respect for each other," the long distance dynamic and their demanding schedules "made it really difficult to maintain a relationship." The breakup happened this week.
"The divorce is moving ahead with Kanye," another insider told E! News. Pete and Kim officially started dating last year in November. This was after the former couple had their first kiss on stage as a part of a skit parodying Disney's 'Aladdin' while hosting Saturday Night Live in October 2021. "It was a stage kiss, but it was still a little zing," Kim said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast in April. "It wasn't anything like a super, crazy feeling."

I wasn't even thinking like 'Oh my god I'm gonna be in a relationship with him.' I was just thinking... I heard about this BDE. I need to get out there. I need to just, like, jump start my... I was just basically DTF."
