Like so many things around Kim Kardashian, this Pete Davidson story has followed a familiar pattern: a quick rush of public interest, followed by internet jokes, followed by public ambivalence, followed by Kim flogging the proverbial dead horse until we’re all sick of the story. So it is with Pete. It was just this past weekend that People Magazine magically got exclusive photos of Pete and Kim holding hands on a roller coaster during a double-day in LA. Kim traveled to New York on Monday, where she’s been staying at the Ritz-Carlton. Some wondered why she was still in New York following her Monday night appearance at the WSJ. Innovators event. Turns out, she had another date with Pete. She actually traveled to Staten Island so that they could eat at one of his favorite restaurants.
Kim Kardashian West and Pete Davidson had a secret dinner rendezvous Tuesday night, TMZ has learned. Kim ventured out of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Manhattan … and headed for Pete’s turf — Staten Island. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the 2 entered the backdoor of Campania restaurant … one of Pete’s favorites. They presumably chowed down on pizza or pasta … the specialty at the joint.
Not me looking up the Campania menu online!!! It’s pretty standard Italian fare – lots of pizzas, familiar pasta dishes, various salads. I wonder what Kim ate. I bet she did have some pizza, don’t you think? Especially if he ordered pizza. Meanwhile, Page Six had a little bit more information:
Pete Davidson’s BDE got Kim Kardashian to his native Staten Island. The Skims founder and “Saturday Night Live” star dined at Campania’s Tuesday night, Page Six confirmed.
“Pete arranged a dinner on the rooftop privately,” a restaurant source told us. “It was just the two of them.”
Our source also added that they didn’t have any security with them.
“They quietly were able to sneak in and out,” our source added.
Ah, the old in and out. Did he take her back to the house he bought for himself and his mom? Did Kim meet his mom? Anyway, at least he planned out a date and he was trying to impress her with what I suspect was rooftop pizza and maybe some candles. A date that involved Kim traveling to Staten Island, but hey, I’m sure she has a car and driver. She was probably looking around like “we’re not in Calabasas anymore.”

Pretty chilly for a rooftop dinner! Sounds like the worst date ever. I’m sure she got a kick out of slumming it.
After all the pretentiousness associated with Kanye, I’m pretty sure she’s OK to just slum it for a bit. Must be exhausting to have to try so hard all the time.
And now I want pizza….
Kanye is a wounded bird. Pete is a wounded bird.
Kanye is a wounded bird with a god complex who doesn’t take his meds.
Pete is a wounded bird with depression who takes his meds.
What @Jessie Quinton said. Pete recognizes his mental health needs and addresses them.
With that being said, he’s not someone you get serious with. Especially with kids on another coast. Hopefully Kim investigates that BDE for a bit, gets the attention she craves, and heads back to stabler pastures.
Man I am in such a pizza mood too I can’t take it.
I am pretty sure he’s a nice contrast to Kanye too.
Ah. I remember venturing over the Staten Island for a meeting with the FLONYC and thinking to myself what a POS, racist area this is. SI shares the same racism and bigotry as that other island — Long Island, but without the money and snobbery. I’m in a mood this morning.

Staten Island is the Florida of NYC. The rest of the 4 boros wouldn’t mind if they seceded and joined NJ. Signed, native Brooklynite.
New Jersey isnt interested!
She used to come to Hoboken and go to local bars and nail salons. This is when she dated Humphries. She like to sight see local low bray living. Probably like visiting a zoo.
So now geographical locations are racist. Yeah you are in a mood this morning.
I’m a Brooklynite, it’s SI, so yeah. Worst place in the 5 boroughs.
So much shade on Pete, yikes! I didn’t really see the attraction just from photos but the more I see him on camera, I can see that he’s really funny, and tall is always good.
I actually worry for him getting caught in the kardashian machine. I am worried he’s going to get in over his head and get chewed up. I want him to stay well and be happy! I don’t know if that can happen in the K family.
This whole thing is really weird. I don’t see them together at all.
He’s been really open about his struggles and the way gossip has made them worse. I don’t understand why either of them is doing this.
I dont believe it,not her type at all. The only time i was convinced Kim was in love was with Reggie Bush after that relationship it felt every romance that followed had an ulterior motive.
I don’t believe it either.
Competitive Kim always attacked Kourtney for being boring and not bringing excitement to their show. First Kylie beat Kim to alleged billionaire status and now Kourtney is head over heels in love with a famous drummer, engaged for the 1st time and packing on PDA everywhere. I can just see Kris Jenner asking Kim if she’s going to let Kourt have all the attention and Kim determined to throw down bigger headlines. And Pete’s BDE has once again fallen bass ackward into another celebrity’s lap, it’s pretty damn funny to see. The unlikely Staten Island Lothario.
Travis and kourtney are as attention seeking as they come. Their relationship may be real but the constant pda and antics are as staged as anything from that clan.
100 % agreed. She was totally into Reggie and they made a cute couple together. All the men that came after…the vibe wasn’t the same. Kris was just one big mistake and Kanye, we know…
Does she never spend time with her children?
Don’t do that. Don’t act like she’s not a parent. I am the breadwinner in my household and I am on the road almost every week. Just don’t do that. Or, do that for every male celebrity and athlete that has children.
THIS.
Light ’em up @Crowhood! Same. Same. and Same.
Yeah I’m not here for mommy-shaming. Her children seem happy and healthy, and they DO also have a dad.
I cut that pathetic excuse for a father no slack either. I never have.
She also has an extended family who I’m sure are helpful too. I am no fan of hers but her children look well cared for.
If you have like 3 nannies you can go on dates in other states I guess…..
She has a whole ass ex-husband who is the other parent to those children.
That or Kris is probably watching them. I don’t think for one second Kanye is allowed alone unsupervised with his own kids.
She has more than one nanny per child ! It’s insane. She’s too busy doing pap walks, and Kanye is too busy shaving his eyebrows off (no lie he shaved them off).
Huh, there’s something unbearably boring about this pairing. I mean, ok if they want pizza (I’m eating cold pizza right now), but it’s like they’re canceling out each other’s celebrity power.
@Eurydice I think it’s because they’re both in it for attention (he from paps/media), (she from everyone who’s focusing less on Kourtney and more on her and a lovebombing admirer). It makes them seem oddly blah, one-note, flat. I’d like to see a pic of them truly engaging each other because whenever I think of them together since I can’t picture it I hear myself saying “A-ten-TION! Forward March!”
You’re right, Crowhoodreturns.
Also, now that I’ve read these posts, I’m a little worried about Pete too. He seems so defenseless.
There’s this climate conference going on in Glasgow, Scotland, and somebody thought it was a good idea to advertise they’d eaten at a coal (!) fired pizza restaurant? Coal fired ovens are not good for the environment.
Yes, wood fire is an issue and increases air pollution which is why we should ban them in private houses when other heating options are available, that billions don’t have access to any other source of power than coal to prepare food and the deforestation it causes is also a problem that has a lot to do with poverty. Out of all the issues we are facing, and the wasteful lifestyle of rich people (like flying back and forth from NYC to LA for dates), a pizza oven is very low on the list of priorities.
Coal fired pizza ovens, really? I think you should really consider the acres of data servers required to power the internet that we are gossiping on while you’re at it.
Urgh make it stop. Such a desperate ploy for media attention.
The taste in men among the Kardashian Jenner women is a mystery to me. If I were a beautiful (but plastic looking), incredibly wealthy, and well-known Kardashian-type celebrity, I wouldn’t be wasting my time with these skinny, vaguely alien-looking, and emotionally troubled men. I’d clean my own act up to a baseline level of respectability and start asking my Hollywood network of people if anyone could hook me up with Juan Martin Del Potro, Chris Evans, Karl Urban, Eric Bana (yes he’s married, but he’s my forever crush) or Oscar Isaac.
None of those dudes would be interested. They are all established A listers and the Kklan would just tarnish their shine. Plus as far as I know these guys have been attached to smart funnny and interesting women…something Kim is not.
Pete is A list comedy but not A list Hollywood. I think he likes trolling people and doesn’t mind adding to the BDE mystique.
My first time in Staten Island was a work outing to a Staten Island Yankees game (minor league team). The first thing I saw getting off the ferry was a couple on top of each other on a bench in the ferry station having foreplay.
I bet there’s good pizza there though.
A new romance justtttt in time for their new show ! Pete might add some comedy to their show, which they desperately need. I think Kim gets really jealous of her sisters. She was jealous of Kylie, then Kourtney. She has to be number one, always.
I find it curious and sad at this stage in her quest that all the money,fame and attention she has accumilated ,she is still so thirsty and attention seeking. When is enough enough? If i had that money,successful operational businesses ,kids and my health i would not be asking or needing much more. She actually still does all the pap and media tricks as if she was some newbie reality star hopeful.
It’s never going to be enough. None of them have the self esteem and confidence they pretend to have. They all define themselves by how other people see them. They need the attention to feel good about themselves. It’s incredibly sad and I’m hoping they don’t pass it down to their kids.
Agreed @noki
I’d buy a home in Europe somewhere and live my life quietly, low key.
She just can’t stand that Kourt is getting all the attention for dating Travis and becoming BFF’s with Megan Fox and MGK. She wants a piece of that too.
Also, if this isn’t for attention or stunt queening purposes, she really needs to be careful about hooking up with someone with Borderline Personality Disorder. It’s one of the worst and hardest of the behavioral illnesses to treat, (usually unsuccessful). As someone who has had to live/deal with a close relative who has BPD, I can tell you it’s mentally exhausting and emotionally taxing for everyone involved. And I’ve seen said relative with her boyfriends. Their relationships start out intense with a lot of love-bombing, but once they become her “favorite person” the toxic behaviors and emotional terrorism starts, and can overwhelm the partner. After Kanye, does she really want that complication in her life?
Well those of us with BPD thank you for your consideration.
I was diagnosed with BPD. Idk what is so hard about living with one. I’m sensitive to other people’s feelings and a very loyal spouse and partner. Maybe not all of us are the same?
Sure, not everyone, you are correct, but BPD is highly associated with verbal abuse, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, physical abuse, and/or domestic violence often suffered by those who are non-borderline. They are more likely than the general population to be verbally, emotionally/psychologically, physically abusive, especially those who have had abandonment issues.
The shaming of someone with mental health issues is not cool. At least Pete takes his meds and respects strong women and takes care of his mom.
Btw what is so great about travis who is not exactly an oil painting and seems to have turned Kourtney into his sex kitten and has a history of cheating and misogyny?
If anything I think the kardashian way of monetising relationships puts him more at risk than her.
I actually agree with you that him being more at risk and feel more concern for Pete getting in getting involved with the Kardashian Klan than the other way around. They seem to exploit vulnerable men. Pete seems like a sweet guy and he should be weary of how being around the Klan circus can affect him emotionally.
It wasn’t my intent to shame so I apologize if it came off that way. I guess I have some internalized bias because of my own traumatic experience in my situation, which isn’t fair to Pete or anyone else with BPD. So I apologize.
And like you, I don’t see what’s so great about Travis either, and I’m not sure why their relationship is getting so much attention.
Anyone else think his Met Gala outfit looks like something PMK would wear? Maybe not the bottom half but the little glasses and the black and white?
I think at this point they are both trolling us with this “relationship” but it’s still really funny to me. Pete will probably make fun of it on SNL at some point, he’s done that with some of his relationships.
For some reason this reminds me of the Sex and the City episode where you see Carrie and the rest of the women take the ferry to Staten Island lol. I had to look up the plot of the episode because I couldn’t remember why they went there but it was because Carrie was a judge for FDNY’s annual male calendar. Charlotte gets super drunk and lets loose dancing and then she swings around a pole on the ferry ride home while Carrie tries to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself.
My adventures in Staten Island have been limited to the ferry ride with out of town visitors and going to this one restaurant called Enoteca Maria where grandmothers from different parts of Italy make signature dishes from their regions. I can’t remember what region it was the day I went there for lunch (you need to make a reservation in advance) but I remember it was quite the experience leaving the ferry terminal because I had never done that before!
would love to be a fly on the wall, what do they actually talk about?
A super secret and private date that we all know about. Private entrances and eating up on a rooftop in November so it can be “just the two of them” was for what if we’re going to hear about it in about 36 hours?
Nothing is private with this family. She’s only dating him for the publicity.
We’ve talked about how Pete love bombs in the beginning stages of a relationship and that’s what I think this is. I can see Kim being attracted to that after Kanye. They’re both narcissists but Kanye started to make it more about himself and what he wanted to do.
This isn’t going to last very long by any means, but I just see it as two people enjoying each other’s company for now.
This Pete-Davidson-dating-a-random-celeb thing used to be fun but has been getting weirder and weirder by the minute as of late. I mean, I guess as long as nobody is getting hurt it’s none of my business, but it’s hella weird…
It’s really not that weird. He’s tall, funny and charming. He’s self deprecating in a town full of ego maniacs who thinks the sun shines out of their ass or take themselves to seriously.
It’s weird because dude only seems to like to date 10’s. Why is that? Why does he only like to date women who are extremely attractive. Why doesn’t he care about her being “funny” or even having a personality at all. He’s all about looks and that’s it. That’s fine, at least he’s not hiding it. But it seems dating these women helps his career. It’s all anybody talks about when they mention his name. I think he’s using Kim and Kim for sure is using him.
Is phoebe and Margareth Qually really what’s considered 10 ( hate that we are using this outdated term of branding peoples looks) I like Margarets looks prefer it to the altered looks of Kate B and Kim but I see her as more quirky pretty and phoebe is relatable pretty as opposed to unattainable plastic pretty IMO. And also not sure why we expect him to only date women on what is considered his level? Hollywood is full of old men dating attractive young women. Also Pete isn’t marrying these women. He has flings and short lived relationships. His one long relationship was with Cassie David who is pretty but not in a plastic unattainable way.
@ Pilar
People still use the term “perfect ten” for men and women. I think all the women he has dated are what would be considered very attractive. I don’t know about his whole dating history, just about Arianna Grande, Kate B, Kim Kardashian, Kaia Gerber. Those are big names with major looks. They are well above average in beauty. Now could he pull Meghan The Stallion, Jennifer Lopez, or Yara Shahidi? I don’t think so. They are majorly beautiful but somehow he wouldn’t stand a chance with them. I can’t figure out the formula he uses lol. It’s just interesting.
I disagree that he only dates “10s”. His first celebrity gfriend was a comedian, Cassie David seems normal-pretty and Margaret Qually is more quirky cute to me.
I hope she gets all the BDE she needs to shake off her divorce. Those who are saying they don’t see the appeal of Pete Davidson obviously didn’t date suspect but hot dirtbags in their youth.
This made me laugh out loud. Oh, the hot dirtbags!! 😂
I think Pete is appealing because he’s vulnerable, but also funny and quick-witted. I don’t think that Kim notices/cares about those qualities, but I think that may be what has endeared him to some of his other prototypically “hot” lady friends. I think Kim just wants headlines because Kourtney has been getting some attention and that’s not kool to Kim. I predict it’ll fizzle out pretty quickly…they’re busy people in different seasons of their lives with nothing but fame in common.
Run Pete, run!! Run all the way home and stay there! All the set ups for attention, performative interactions aren’t great for folks with mental health issues. You’ve been warned…..
Sources with direct knowledge=Kim and Kris.
Kim and Pete had a secret date? Is this just like the time sources bragged about how Kim was being pursued by Drake, Maluma, Van Jones, politicians, football players, musicians, and Kayne? The real story should be how Kris and Kim exploit men with mental illnesses. It sounds like Pete is having some short of mental episode and Kris and Kim are milking it just like they do with Kayne when he is having a mental episode.
I went to Staten Island once when visiting New York and I took a ferry.
I don’t suppose Kim took the same route?
Indeed Staten Island was not pretty!
My theory is they both love the attention they’re getting. Based on Mirror articles citing SNL sources Pete likes attention. He likes the attention he gets from his dalliances with famous women. I don’t think it’s about the “10” factor so much as it is someone who’ll be charmed by him and is very famous (usually very attractive women in our society) which will cause him to get attention and be chased by paps. He hit the jackpot with Kim. Kim isn’t really feeling him but she too likes the attention and lovebombing he’s doing , especially after leaving Kanye, she likes the attention she’s drawing from Kourtney, she loves how everyone is talking about she and Pete and that she has her own guy fawning over her. I’m not sure if she can close the deal with someone who looks like him (not wholly unattractive but wholly not what attracts her) but she’s sure enjoying the attention on all fronts. So, yeah these two are in it not for looks or sexual prowess, but FOR THE ATTENTION!!
