At this point, everything I’m learning about Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, I’m learning against my will. We’re being force-fed this romance and I just don’t understand WHY? Kim Kardashian is no longer the reality-show hustler looking to attach herself to a bigger name. She IS the bigger name. She operates companies which are, on paper, worth billions of dollars. She is a huge brand unto herself. Why… Pete Davidson, a f–kboi who only dates women for a few months before he gets bored? Anyway, Kim was in New York for much of the past week, and her trip involved several dinner dates with Pete, including one rooftop-pizza date in Staten Island. Well, “sources” insist to TMZ that all of this Kardavidson mess isn’t just for the Kardashians’ new Hulu show.
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s late-night date nights in NYC would’ve made for some legendary reality TV — but fans expecting to see the new duo on Hulu are SOL — because cameras just weren’t rolling … which makes a relationship seem all the more real.
Kim and Pete had the Internet buzzing this week after meeting up twice for dinner, one time with friends and once without. Reports popped up saying everything was being filmed for the Kardashian’s upcoming project with Hulu, and only being done for publicity for the show. We spoke with production sources who tell us Kim wasn’t filmed or followed one time by Hulu cameras during her entire trip to NYC, much less during any encounters with Pete.
What’s more amazing, we’re told during Kim’s first dinner date night with Pete, she snuck out of her hotel and made it to Staten Island sans a big security team — and absolutely no cameras, not even paparazzi, got her during the escapade. As for Kim and Pete … our sources say the relationship isn’t serious, but they’re enjoying getting to know each other and having a fun mutual group of friends. And, who knows what else!
I truly forgot that they inked that Hulu deal. Yeah… while I’ll buy that Pete isn’t going to be featured on camera (for now), make no mistake, this sh-t IS a storyline. Partly, it’s jealousy – Kim is big mad that Kourtney has such a “good” storyline with Travis Barker and all of that. Kim wants a fun, high-profile hookup too! But look, you guys, it’s love:
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson weren’t afraid to get affectionate — yes, that — during her trip to NYC, and it’s definitely more than a weeklong fling … TMZ has learned. Witnesses at both Zero Bond and Campania tell us the two appeared “very comfortable” with each other, smiling, laughing and displaying plenty of PDA. We’re told Pete was charming, even with Kim’s friends, throughout the week.
A source familiar with the couple’s date Tuesday at Campania in Staten Island says the two had the rooftop to themselves, and were personally attended to by the restaurant’s owner … who’s a friend of Pete’s. We’re told staffers weren’t allowed upstairs, where the two showed lots of affection.
Then there’s this … our sources say prior to the group outing at Zero Bond Wednesday night — an exclusive club in NYC — Pete called ahead with his credit card to cut Kim or anyone else at the table off at the pass.
Reports surfaced Friday saying Kim’s friends were doubtful she and Pete will last, but we’re told that’s just not true … especially given how he fit in Wednesday with some of her closest friends.
As for their ‘SNL’ encounters, we’ve confirmed Pete kept it very professional when Kim hosted the show, and didn’t make a move until it wrapped.
While things seem to be heating up fast between the two, we’re told Kim will still take her time before jumping into anything serious. She’s also excited about dating again.
That’s a nice touch, Pete calling ahead with his credit card number so he gets to say “I took care of it” like a gangster. So… while I still think they’re a bizarre couple, it’s not like Kim is out there on her own, trying to make this storyline happen. Clearly, Pete IS interested and he is pursuing her. Make it make sense.

While this relationship might be different, I really wish the K club could disappear for 1 year or more. Over saturation .. although curious to see the Kylie Travis breakup stories that begin on Wednesday
Why Wednesday? What am I missing about waiting 5 days post tragedy to turn into a Kardashian-Jenner plot line?
Kylie and Travis are definitely not breaking up. He will pay for the funerals, donate to the families, rebrand and come back as family man who has given up his wild ways. They both will stay quiet and lay low until the baby is born.
I wish they would disappear for good.
@Minx they will NEVER disappear,they are 10 grandkids and counting,my money is on Kim taking over Kris momager duties in the future. We have a whole generation of Kar-Jenners to come. What are the chances of not one of those kids getting bit by the hollywood bug?
@Noki – None of this next generation will have to hustle for that first billion. They’ll just inherit it. So maybe they’ll all buy private islands and disappear? (I don’t actually believe that, of course. These kids will be raised in the spotlight, richer than most of their peers, even in LA, so the thing they’ll crave is the constant spotlight, because they’ll have nothing else to strive for. They’re not ever going away.)
I so wish they would disappear. I say this because I have a 10 y/o daughter and I fear for the body image issues, etc, for her and her little friends. I can shield her from the K-clan as much as possible but they are everywhere, and then there are the girls who want to look like them. Kids can’t not be exposed to this unhealthy portrayal of the female body. It’s so worrisome as a parent.
Now that she has established her brand she just loves the attention for the sake of it. Because like the article said there’s nothing he brings to the table she doesn’t have or can get on her own.
I love it. It’s like the gossip gods gave us something to make up for Bennifer’s low-key autumn.
Easy -they both love attention. He enjoys the thrill of something new, wooing her, she IS his type it seems (great body, still pretty face), the interest of paparazzi, the excitement of dodging them. She enjoys being wooed, doted on, fawned over, all his charming, focused attention (like Kanye), being the talk of the town again (Kourt’s already engaged so the intrigue of this outshines that), pulling attention away from Kourtney. I honestly believe that although in my opinion she’s the most boring/dull (most scandalous and sex-ified, yes) she’s been trained to think she is the most special, interesting and requiring of devotion and attention so playing along with this whole Pete business serves to perpetuate that. I mean, this relationship makes so much sense to ME!
Also, in his defense, I think he WANTS something lasting. Haven’t his breakups been on the female’s side/mutual? Haven’t his exes had glowing things to say about him? He’s just looking for a good match and I’ve heard she’s nice so maybe his interactions with her leave him wanting more. He seems nice, funny, reasonably attractive, attentive…. which is charming. In my opinion HE’s the catch! I hope she doesn’t seriously wound him.
I don’t know if he’s looking for something lasting or whatever (since Kim is a woman with 4 kids and a crazy ex I kinda doubt it) and with the exception of Ariana I think he bounced back quickly ( his reaction to the Ariana break up might also have had something to do with the how her fans treated him).
But his exes definitely say nice things about him so I don’t buy this fuckboi thing. Also I don’t like the kardashians but Kanye was controlling AF and also mentally abusive and misogynistic ( going by his Twitter), so maybe Kim just wants a fling with someone more fun who actually isn’t acting like she’s his mannequin.
I don’t know about this take on his character. Yes, most of his exes have nice things to say about him now, but how often do celeb men (especially white ones) get dragged publicly by their exes? Almost never, because the public is vicious to women who display anything other than “sweet” compliance. With regards to Ariana, I do think that was the breakup that actually hurt him, and I think he did not conduct himself very well in its aftermath. I remember people “YAAS”-ing when he made some reference to her perma-tan blackfishing*, but she was doing that before and during their relationship too. It didn’t seem to bother him then, so it was hypocritical to pretend it bothered him after. He was just jumping on something he knew the public would agree with, which is a punk move.
*To be clear, the blackfishing SUCKS and people are right to be upset by it. But he wasn’t when he dated her, so him acting like he cared after they broke up is BS.
ALSO ALSO – He officially got with Kaia Gerber the SECOND she turned 18. That’s gross, and no one can convince me they weren’t privately dealing with each other before then. He groomed her.
I agree with you on Kaia.
But not so much the rest, Kate beckinsale is a pretty outspoken woman. And I don’t think she has to like tweets about him having a nice personality to avoid criticism, it’s not like anyone asked her. Cassie David wrote openly about the bad and good stuff in their relationship but they have remained friends.
And anyway he’s not that well liked by the general public just look at comments here I don’t see the same energy for travis barker who did date an underage girl and has a documented history of misogyny and has been a self admitted fuckboi and cheater most of life.
yes to everything you said KC. First and foremost, I believe Kim is doing this because she couldn’t STAND the attention Kourt was getting. I’m sure she celebrated her and is truly happy for her but at the same time, she had enough. She wanted a cool edgy guy hookup too. Ala Meg and Kourt. It’s unfortunate she’s wanting to make this a trend with her inclusion because Kourtney’s relationship is popular because the mutual affection is so genuine. People love love. Kim and Pete are VERY OBVIOUSLY calculated. She’s cheapening her sister’s relationship but I think Kourtney is very used to this dynamic.
I actually think the opposite! He’s vulnerable and the KK machine will just use him and spit him out.
Also this idea that he is your run off the mill 20 something fuckboi dosent seem accurate at all.
Kate beckinsale literally liked this tweet the other day:
“I love how every time Pete Davidson starts dating another beautiful celebrity everyone’s like ‘wtf is happening how did he do this what is this mystery???’ and everybody refuses to entertain the possibility that he might have a nice personality“.
She stayed friendly with him and after their break up he was praised for his mannners and personality.
Even now they’re on good terms,” our Beckinsale insider said. “You wouldn’t think it — but he has impeccable manners and is so polite. I think, honestly, that’s part of the reason women like him.”
He seems to stay friendly with his exes including Cassie David , who thanked him in her book.
In her 2020 book of essays, “No One Asked for This,” Cazzie David praised Davidson’s “bravery” for opening up about his emotions.
“Pete. I love you,” she wrote of her ex. “Thank you for being encouraging when you did not have to be. Your bravery inspires me and your friendship means the world to me.”
I love this!!
I appreciate this insight into his character, so thanks for this write up. From the outside he seems a bit of a mess but all this helps me understand his appeal.
Kim has friends?
Lol actually outside of their sisterhood they all seem to have separate friend cliques.
Still not buying it. Kris is really pushing this hard though. Oh and ladies, you can be nice AND be a fckboi. No matter how much money you have! I like him but more than likely he is a fckboi.
Oh and what the fig is she wearing?
Where I come from a fuckboi is a twat that messes with their partners feelings and usually has multiple women on the go at the same time and lies about it. Pete seems like a serial dater that is friends with his exes. I mean someone like Mark Ronson had the same dating pattern as Pete, until he got married recently he had a string of short lived relationships. It’s really not that unusual for people who date. I guess the thing is more that these are all high profile women and people seem unable to fathom why they would be interested in someone like Pete so there’s all kinds of sensational things read into it which doesn’t seem to correspond with what his exes say about him.
This over the top fame is absolutely a choice..if mega A lists stars such as Jlaw,Jennifer Aniston,Julia Roberts,Beyonce etc are virtually unseen when they are not promoting something then its possible. How does all this attention seeking not get tiresome?
It’s an addiction and the Ks are totally addicted. It’s really sad to me that none of them seem capable of living a life not recorded in the media.
So the press is going to act like it’s not Kris and Kim who keep leaking all of these stories about Pete? It’s obvious why Kris and Kim are force feeding the “romance” with Pete. Kris hasn’t had success in finding Kim a new boyfriend and husband, Kim isn’t a billionaire(Forbes exposed that they were given false documents in Kylie’s billionaire status), and Kim’s brand and businesses aren’t as successful as Kris and Kim have lead the press to believe(which explains why Pete had to use his credit card). Kim and Kris are definitely trying to attach Kim’s name to a man who they think is a big time celebrity, how many times did they leak that basketball players and musicians were pursuing Kim or that Drake, Van Jones, and Maluma were trying to date her? If Kim’s brand and businesses were as successful as they claim, there would be no need for her to keep associating with Kayne’s new projects.
So Pete isn’t a storyline for the show? Either the “sources” (Kris and Kim) are lying or all theses stories about Kim and Pete’s private dates are just that, stories created by Kris to make it look like her daughter is desirable since she hasn’t found a new husband since she announced the divorce. I wish the press would focus on how Kris and Kim target and exploit men with mental issues who are in the process of having a mental episode and how they leak negative stories about them when they break up.
I’m sure Kim’s a size queen. And Pete’s hung like a horse. But still, I doubt she wants anything long (or even medium) term with someone who’s bipolar and maybe even less stable than her ex-husband.
Doesn’t matter if the HULU cameras are there or not. She’s still getting the publicity she wants/needs…so it’s a win for her either way.
I wonder if Pete uses the same lines on all these girls. Takes them to the same restaurants…buys them the same gifts. It’s a formula that works for him. I want all his ex’s to compare notes lol.
Different verse, same as the first. The K’s seeding another season of whatever show they’re doing. If no one was allowed on the rooftop but them and one other guy, who fed the tabs all of that information? Who else would know he called ahead (if it even happened) with his card? They’re not even trying hard at this point, but it’s still working. Fascinating. I’m surprised one of those stories didn’t say, “Kim was dressed in the latest from her Skims x Fendi collab…”
I’ve got nothing on this new ‘storyline’ of KKW.
Does anyone else think that she’s starting to look like her own Madame Tussaud’s wax figure?
Well she’s apparently in Atlanta at Ye’s church event where everyone is dressed in white robes looking all cult like Handmaids tales
Kim has no where else to go in terms of major life events. She’s got 4 kids so another baby isn’t going to get attention, she’s had a number of huge weddings and divorces so there’s nothing new to explore there. If she dates another rapper or athlete she’s just repeating herself.
I think she saw Kourtney’s life and public image be reinvigorated by Travis and thought she needed her own punk bad boy lover. Travis is different to all the other guys the Kardashian’s have dated and Kourtney definitely had been getting more attention now that ever, which must get on Kim’s nerves considering she thinks Kourtney is ‘the least interesting to look at”.
I think Pete looks like fun and is probably really charismatic and charming in person. But I do think she’s also photocopying Kourtneys relationship with Travis, and megan fox and MGK.
Why are you so down on my favorite f–kboi? Has it been firmly established that he is the one that gets bored after a few months? Maybe that BDE has worn the ladies out.
I think Kim wants to laugh and have fun. Her last decade has been PreK intense… pregnancy, birth, multiple children, husband with mental illness, studying to be a lawyer, helping people unjustly incarcerated. Life can be too real, it’s important to have people you can have fun with, I think that’s what this is.
What happened to the whole spiel about Kim’s next love being a successful businessperson or political figure? Quelle surprise- if anyone with that kind of class is interested in Kim, he is not stepping up to go public with the K-Klan. So Kim’s back to being with another celebrity.
Exactly. If I was on track to become a billionaire I would be wanting to date a billionaire.
So funny, the second Kourtney gets a white, mega tattooed guy, Kim goes and finds one for herself.
