Pete Davidson Playfully Reacts to Mention of Kim Kardashian Romance
Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian aren’t keeping up with each other these days, but their past romance is still the talk of the town.
In fact, the Saturday Night Live alum—who split with the Kardashians star in August 2022—had a notable reaction when comedian Lunell playfully mentioned his former relationship.
During his March 26 appearance on John Mulaney’s Netflix talk show, Everybody’s Live, Lunell told Pete that she was curious about how he “continuously pulls all these bad b--ches,” considering she viewed him as a “regular, average guy.”
And an embarrassed Pete couldn’t help but grow more bashful as she listed off his dating roster.
“Now, you’ve had Kim K,” she began, to which the Bupkis comedian covered his face and said, “Oh God.”
Lunell then referenced Pete’s new girlfriend Elsie Hewitt—who the 31-year-old went public with on March 19, eight months after his breakup with Outer Banks actor Madelyn Cline—saying, “You’ve got this little supermodel right now. For the research and for women across America, I think that you should take me out.”
Pete went on to jokingly agree to Lunell’s offer if that would “stop” the conversation.
While this playful interaction marked the first time Pete has addressed his nine-month romance with Kim, they seem to be on decent terms. The duo even reunited at the 2023 Met Gala in May, and later crossed paths at the premiere of SNL’s 50-year anniversary special earlier this year.
As for Kim (who shares kids North, 11, Psalm, 9, Chicago, 7, and Saint, 5, with ex-husband Kanye West), she noted in a March 2023 episode of The Kardashians that she and Pete “talked” a lot about ending their relationship before the breakup happened. Then, four months later, she reflected on her decision to date the comedian shortly after her divorce from Kanye.
“I definitely jumped into another relationship so fast," Kim told her sisters Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner on their series in July 2023. “It got my mind away from stuff, and that's not a way to run from things. It's better to deal, heal—that's a good one—deal, heal, feel.”
