On Sunday night, Kim Kardashian returned to celebrate Saturday Night Live‘s 50th anniversary and that meant an in-person reunion with her ex-boyfriend, Pete Davidson, who was a cast member from 2014-2022. For some people that might be an awkward situation, but for the reality star and the comedian, it was totally fine.
A People insider saw the former duo chatting at the SNL afterparty in a strictly-friends conversation. “He has nothing but love and respect for Kim,” a Davidson pal told the media outlet. “He hopes everyone can move on.” We adore exes who can root each other on and still have a sweet friendship — and that’s exactly what Kardashian and Davidson are doing.
Fans will remember that sparks flew on the set of SNL in October 2021 when the 44-year-old SKIMS founder hosted the show. Their Jasmine and Aladdin sketch, where they shared their first kiss in front of millions of viewers, was the start of a headline-generating romance. By April 2022, they were making their red carpet debut at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner in Washington, D.C. and then appeared at the Met Gala together only days later with her iconic Marilyn Monroe dress. The fame and the spotlight were a lot for Davidson to take in though.
Davidson admitted to Page Six last week that the scrutiny he’s received about his love life has been “pretty humiliating and upsetting.” In addition to Kardashian, the 31-year-old comedian has dated Kate Beckinsale, Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, Margaret Qualley, and Chase Sui Wonders. After his July 2024 split with Madelyn Cline, he decided to “turn [his] life around.” He wants to be known for his work, not who he’s dating.
Still, his warm relationship with Kardashian is an indication of how he treats all of his exes. A second People source noted in October 2024 that Davidson is “still friends with pretty much all his exes” because “he’s a good guy” and they cheer him on from the sidelines. Kardashian seems to agree with that assessment, telling Interview Magazine just one month after their August 2022 breakup, “He’s a cutie. He’s literally such a good person; they don’t really make them like him anymore.” She added, “I’m excited for what he has coming up.”
Davidson might not have found his perfect match just yet, but he has impeccable referrals from his exes — his next date can call Kardashian for a reference.
