It has been almost six months since Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson started dating, and it looks like their relationship is going from strength to strength despite ongoing tensions with her ex-husband, Kanye West.

The pair were first romantically linked in October 2021 following Kim’s guest appearance on Saturday Night Live, eight months after she filed for divorce from Kanye — who has legally changed his name to Ye.

She and Pete even shared a kiss during an Aladdin-themed sketch for the comedy show, and just days later they were pictured holding hands on a roller coaster.

In the weeks that followed, Kim and Pete were spotted on a series of low-key date nights at local restaurants and outlet malls, with the relaxed approach to their relationship all the more poignant after Kim had admitted to wanting “smaller” and more meaningful gestures following the extravagance of her marriage to Ye.

Speaking in the final episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which aired in June, Kim reflected: “I want someone where we have the same [TV] shows in common. I want someone that wants to work out with me. It’s the little things that I don’t have.”

In fact, Kim and Pete were so low-key about their relationship that they didn’t even publicly acknowledge each other until last month, when Pete referred to Kim as his “girlfriend” during a TV interview.

Speaking to People, he breezily said: “If I’m off [work], I just either hang with my friends or chill with my girlfriend inside. So I don’t do much.”

Kim waited even longer to speak about Pete, addressing him for the first time in an interview with Variety earlier this month, where she said that the family’s new Hulu TV show, The Kardashians, will reveal how their relationship came to be.

Despite Pete not appearing in the upcoming first season of the show, Kim teased that they might film “something really exciting” together in the future.

Just days after the interview was published, Kim finally went Instagram official with Pete as she included two photos of them together in an Instagram carousel, which drove fans wild.

In a rare glimpse into his and Kim’s relationship, Pete wrote to Ye: “Can you please take a second and calm down. It’s 8am and it don’t gotta be like this. Kim is literally the best mother I’ve ever met. What she does for those kids is amazing and you are so fucking lucky that she’s your kids’ mom.”

Pete claimed that he had told SNL not to make any jokes about Ye on the show, and had also stopped his comedian friends from mocking the rapper in their routines.

Days later, Kim revealed that Pete had been “branded” with her name during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and that he’d also had multiple tattoos inked onto his skin in tribute to her — including one that reads: “My girl’s a lawyer.”

Considering how serious Kim and Pete’s relationship has become, it’s perhaps unsurprising that he has also been warmly welcomed by her inner circle.

In the short clip, the camera pans the room and shows Scott and two other friends fast asleep while the 1982 movie The King of Comedy plays in the background. Pete then looks unimpressed as he turns the camera to himself.

It was posted alongside the lighthearted caption “Boyz night was wild” on Scott’s page.

The King of Comedy is an interesting choice of movie, as last month Pete seemingly responded to Ye’s constant attacks by changing his Instagram bio to a YouTube link of one of the film’s famous lines.

At the time, it was widely believed that this was Pete’s response to Ye’s repeated social media posts and song lyrics against him, and fans called him out for “firing sneaky shots.”

Not long after posting the link to his bio, Pete deleted his Instagram account entirely when his first post was inundated with comments from Ye’s supporters telling him to “find God.”

Two lucky fans got a photo with the men at the game and submitted the snap to gossip Instagram page Deux Moi.

Khloé shared a close-up photo of the pretty pink blooms to her Instagram story at the time, writing: “The sweetest! Thank you Pete.”

Pete’s involvement with Kim’s friends and family will no doubt be a tough pill for Ye to swallow, with the rapper making no secret of his feelings toward the comic in recent weeks.

Last week, Ye posted on Instagram that he was “concerned” that Pete will get Kim “hooked on drugs,” claiming that “he’s in rehab every 2 months.”

Shortly after the post was made, Ye’s account was suspended for 24 hours for violating policies on hate speech, bullying, and harassment. In addition to his attacks on Pete, Ye had taken aim at several other people online that day and had called Trevor Noah a racial slur in one caption.

Ye is yet to return to social media since his suspension, and it was confirmed over the weekend that he will no longer perform at the Grammys due to “concerning online behavior.”

Meanwhile, Kim vowed to always “take the high road” when it comes to co-parenting with Ye and admitted that she just tries to “ignore” his online attacks during an interview with Ellen.
