After the breakup, Pete is taking a “clean break” from Kim because they are living in “two different worlds.”
taking some me time. With Kim Kardashian’s breakup, Pete Davidson is getting better. The former Saturday Night Live performer is handling the split with the SKIMS founder gradually.
Nearly a month after it was disclosed that they were no longer dating, a source close to the King of Staten Island actor gave Hollywood Life an update on his life. “While Pete was devastated when the separation first occurred, he is now lot more at peace with it. He can tell that they were obviously not intended to be, the person said.
“They are from two different worlds, but more like two completely different universes. Pete does not talk to Kim now, and they pretty much had a clean break.”
A source confirmed to Page Six on August 5, 2022, that Kim and Pete broke up after nine months of dating. “Kim and Pete have decided to just be friends,” the insider said. “They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.”
According to Page Six’s source, Kim and Pete’s age difference was a big factor in their breakup decision. “Pete is 28 and Kim is 41 — they are just in very different places at the moment,” the insider said. “Pete is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment’s notice.” The source continued, “But Kim has four kids and it isn’t that easy. She needs to focus on the kids.” The insider also revealed that Kim’s businesses, including Skims, KKW Beauty, KKW Fragrance and SKKN, have made keeping a relationship difficult for her. “[She’s] totally exhausted by this relationship and other things going on in her life.”
When Kim hosted the venerable sketch comedy program on October 20, 2021, they first connected on the set of Saturday Night Live. Kim remembered the The Kardashians episode where she expressed a desire to be nearer to Pete. After hosting Saturday Night Live in October 2021, Kim recalled the day she contacted Pete.
In a confessional featured in an episode of The Kardashians, she said, “I called the producer at SNL and was like, ‘Hey, do you have Pete’s number? And they were like, ‘Yeah.’ I text him. I wasn’t even thinking like, ‘Oh my God, I’m gonna be in a relationship with him.’ I was just thinking, ‘Heard about this BDE, need to get out there, I need to jumpstart my…’” Kim told the cameras with a smile, “I was just basically DTF.”
