Kim and pete’s Romance has ended.
After 9 months of dating, the duo ended their relationship this week.
“Part of the reason they split was because of their busy schedules,” an insider says. “They both travel all the time and it was hard”
Kim Kardashian and the Saturday Night Live comedian, Steve Davidson, 28, shared an onscreen kiss for a sketch during the SKIMS mogul’s SNL hosting debut on Oct. 9, 2021.
Kardashian later recalled the moment on Amanda Hirsch’s Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast in April 2022. “When we kissed, I was just like, ‘Hmm!’ It was a stage kiss, but it was still like, a little zing. It wasn’t anything like a super-crazy feeling. I was just like, ‘Hmm,’ and then I was like, ‘Wow, I really haven’t kissed anyone else in 10 years, so maybe I’m just like being stupid and it’s just nothing and it’s just a stage kiss,’ ” she said at the time.
The duo then made headlines when they were spotted holding hands on a rollercoaster at Knott’s Scary Farm in Buena Park, California, in October 2021.
The two continued to spend time together after Knott’s Scary Farm, including when Kardashian traveled to Davidson’s native Staten Island, New York, to have dinner at Campania, an Italian restaurant, the next month.
The pair were then spotted out the following weekend in Palm Springs, holding hands and smiling, and continued to stay close in the weeks to follow, even kicking off the New Year with a short trip to the Bahamas.
Then, in February of this year, Davidson opened up about living life in the spotlight and hanging with “girlfriend” Kardashian during a chat with Kay Adams, host of PEOPLE (The TV Show!).
“Well, I don’t really have Instagram — I don’t have Instagram or Twitter or any of that stuff. So, most of my daily life is getting into cars and showing up to a set,” the comedian said.
“Or, if I’m off, I just either hang with my friends or chill with my girlfriend inside. So I don’t do much,” he continued, referring to Kardashian with the title of girlfriend publicly for the first time.
Kardashian and Davidson’s relationship marked the first for The Kardashians star after her split from Kanye West. Together Kim and Kanye share daughters North, 9, and Chicago, 4, as well as sons Saint, 6, and Psalm, 3.
The mom of four filed for divorce from West, 45, in February 2021. A source said that Davidson was “exactly what Kim needed after her divorce.”
“Someone to make her laugh and just have a fun time with,” the source said at the time. “The end of her marriage was a very dark time for her and Pete has been the best antidote.”
