Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are still together, and Kim is still desperate to get headlines for this relationship. Pete and Kim have been dating since mid-to-late October, as far as we can tell. Just before Halloween, they were seen on a double-date in LA, and Kim spent some time in New York this month, going on dinner dates and night club dates with Pete. Even though Pete has Saturday Night Live coming up this weekend, he still jetted off to Palm Springs for his birthday. What’s in Palm Springs? Kris Jenner’s desert home, Kim’s welcome embrace and Flavor Flav.
Pete Davidson rang in his birthday with Kim Kardashian West by his side — and a few other friends! On Wednesday, rapper Flavor Flav shared photos from his “adopted son” Davidson’s 28th birthday celebration featuring Kardashian West and her mom Kris Jenner.
In the first photo, Davidson, Kardashian West, and Jenner all sported matching black and brown plaid pajamas as they pose for the camera. The second image featured just Flavor Flav and Davidson, 28, with the comedian wearing the rapper’s famed clock chain.
A source tells PEOPLE that Kardashian West, 41, threw the birthday bash for Davidson at Jenner’s Palm Springs home on Tuesday.
“Even when they are on different coasts, Kim and Pete stay in touch,” the insider says. “They are getting to know each other better and getting along great. Kim loves his spark. He is very funny, entertaining and makes Kim happy. They are still dating and enjoying it. He showers Kim with compliments and she loves it.”
Palm Springs? Kris Jenner? SKIMS flannel pajamas? FLAVOR FLAV? What a random birthday celebration. I mean, I wouldn’t mind a mini-vacay at Kris’s Palm Springs house, and I would love to just settle into some comfortable flannel PJs. But the rest of it just seems like celebrity Mad Libs. Oh well, happy belated birthday to Pete.

I don’t think this relationship will last, but they do look like they’re having fun together. So good for them, I guess?
I see this relationship in the same light as the one he had with Kate Beckinsale…short and sweet, and scratching an itch.
I have nothing bad to say about them dating. Nobody is saying that this is going to be the next great love story. I hope they both have a lot of fun.
Bonus for Pete, he’ll have new material for SNL or a stand-up show when it’s over.
This is so blatantly fake relationship for the new show. I hope Pete knows that.
I hope so, too. I am not one to hate on Kim, I think she’s an entertaining woman and I like her spark. But if she is playing games with a younger man who has borderline, that’s very messed up.
Relationships are hard enough for people with BPD. Pete has been open about his diagnosis, and seeks help which is particularly hard for those with BPD (if my BPD mother would do the same there would be a glimmer of hope that I could actually have a relationship with her, but that’s a whole other story). It would be very irresponsible of Kim to play around with Pete just for clicks and kicks.
Look what she did to Kris Humphries? Made him believe she wanted to be his wife. She went through with the wedding for money and ratings. Divorced his ass as fast as she could…while editing their show to make him look like the bad guy. I can see her using Pete easily. I think Pete is willing to date any famous pretty woman. I don’t think he gives a damn about the women having any sort of personality. You’re hot…ok I’ll date you. In fact, it was reported Kim gave her number to him, not the other way around. She pursued him for a reason.
Ugh they’re not just black and brown plaid pajamas, they’re SKIM brand. Respect the hustle? But the pjs are atrocious.
I don’t want to be obvious here but in the photos of Kim we’ve seen recently, does it seem like she is wearing a *much* lighter foundation?
Yeah she’s not doing the usual 10 layers of spray tan anymore…looks like one or two layers now.
Also, Kim is so desperate for attention. Pete is just being used. If Pete didn’t have a long list of famous ex-girlfriends, would Kim be dating him now? Probably not. These two have nothing in common. He’s a young guy, height of his career, no ex-wives or kids to worry about. Why is he with her? I’m sorry but she’s not the catch everyone thinks she is. I hope Pete loves the paps because Kim calls them all the time. Kim just wants what Kourtney has.
lol… “I’m sorry but she’s not the catch everyone thinks she is.”
Someone said she was a catch? Huh… I had no idea. I thought everyone hated her?
@ Marietta2381
Everyone is wondering why she’s dating HIM…so I’m presuming they all think she’s out of his league? I know she does have a fan base (though I think she buys followers and so does Kylie). Actually, to be honest, who exactly is her fan base? Who made this woman a “billionaire” ?
I think he LOVES attention. He may just be gleefully rubbing his hands together and licking his lips at all the paps he hopes he gets to encounter. SHE loves being the center of attention so pulling attention away from Kourtney and the Astroworld catastrophe probably makes her giddy. Pete lavishing her with attention makes her purr. That being said. I DO think they’re interested in each other and seeing where this plays out. She’s attractive, with a great body and nice even if shallow-seeming so I kinda see how she appeals to him. He’s charming, love-bombing, making her feel important, doting on her and edgy and outside her norm enough to be similar enough to what Kourtney has and draw everyone’s attention so just what she’s into if it’s not named Reggie Bush. I suspect she’s going to enjoy life going forward and just bide her time in hopes she and Reggie one day pull a Bennifer 2.0.🤷🏽♀️
Flavor flav? That’s random – or are they old friends?
Aww they are hanging out with the domestic abuser, deadbeat daddy Flavor Flav. How cute of them.
This family loves attention, anyway they can get it. Bad press seems to get them the most attention, so here ya go !
Yup. Especially after the whole AstroWorld fiasco. You just know they are going to ramp up the Kim/Pete stories as well as Travis/Kourt as deflection. So prepare yourself for the onslaught of KarJens in the news.
I’m gonna tell you exactly what’s going on here. Because I’m bored lol.
So they’re all old friends. You’re right about the attention. But the INtention? They both win; she gets the heat off of Kanye and he plays it up because he’s him. It’s a joke.
Probably, the attraction is there and they kept hanging out more than usual after SNL but it’s just a distraction and their birthdays all fell around the same time.
I bet they enjoy each other’s company.
But that’s basically it.
What I DO like is he seems like decent guy and she did some good things for women. I appreciate she did it.
So either way, let them enjoy.
It must be a relief after being married to the most intense dude on the planet.
That Said, the only thing that bugs me about this is the Jeopardy pop-ups which are making me stop short of throwing my cell against the wall.
Otherwise? Meh. Go have fun
On brand. Buy SKIMS to support abusers!
As always with KK, it’s thirsty and cringe, but it looks lke they’re having fun so I can’t be mad at that.
How does Pete have time to jet all around when SNL is happening? Pretty much every other cast member throughout its history talk about the long hours and endless work.
This is kind of a jumping the shark moment, no?
“Celebrity mad libs” is an awesome way of describing this, LOL.
Is this really gaining traction as a couple story? It all seems so bland.
What a convenient way to distract from the horrific Astroworld concert and the massive lawsuit against Travis.
He has to have BDE because I don’t get the appeal. Wasn’t he with Kate Beckinsale too??
I wish they would stop reporting that their home is in Palm Springs. It is not. I live in Palm Springs. Their home is in La Quinta, which is 25 miles away.
I think it started out as a random attention grab for Kim and now it is a fortunately timed distraction for PMK to try and get everyone to forget about AstroWorld. She’ll throw as much as she can at the wall to see what sticks to get that to happen. It gives her time to see how much of a liability Travis Scott will be to the family brand.
I don’t much care for Pete Davidson, but I hope it isn’t a bummer for him when he stops being useful to these grifters and they dump him.
And of course they’re hanging out with Flavor Flav – why let some pesky abuse allegations get in the way of your PR grab?
Kris is probably begging Kendall to either get engaged or announce a pregnancy lol !
Somehow I just don’t think Kendall is into that like the rest of Kris’ girls. She may really just be the random child of Kris who likes keeping her business private and isn’t interested in bodily augmentation or having a bunch of kids with a man but I just get the feeling Kendall doesn’t relate to the fellas the way the rest do. Whether she’s bisexual, gay, queer, asexual, or internally has a problem with how they relate to men….she just doesn’t seem as interested in using her body to garner male attention and favors and tossing aside men when they’re no longer useful. I was shocked when she was dating Blake and Rocky (my favorite) and who knows maybe she really is that private. Despite how liberal this family is I think they have been trained to highly value and develop female energy and their bodies to appeal to and find value in monetizing and building on the attention and security they get from men as they devalue and step on them to make a name and security for themselves.
It’s very much why I think Rob has struggled in that koven. It’s what his mum knows, it’s what she modeled to them, there’s no room for him in that mindset and value system. He’s useless, only good for attending to and impregnating women then being discarded. He has to either magnify the women in his family or magnify the ones he pursues. But what about him? He doesn’t know how to be in a healthy relationship with them. Either he’s cheating and giving attention to someone with sex appeal he’s seen valued or being taken advantage of and used like the women in his family do. He wasn’t invested in and groomed like the others and he couldn’t follow his father’s footsteps or mother’s model. I think Kendall’s modeling is in line with that but honestly, she does NOT give off the same energy and notes. Her skimpily clad Halloween pictures just looked like she was a hanger for very little clothing. It wasn’t the same “I’m a sexy male head-turning woman salivate over and desire me” vibe the rest of them have. It’s strange because in this day and age, out of 6 kids it wouldn’t be shocking for one of them to be queer but I don’t think that family has carved out a space for thriving in that choice (or for being a male). Okay, I am giving these people way too much attention but that’s just my two cents….
Kris is probably begging Kendall to either get engaged or announce a pregnancy lol !
Now that the press is losing interest in the people who died at Travis’ concert, Kris can go back to exploiting Pete and his mental illness. Pete doesn’t look well in any of those pictures. Now would be a good time for his family and true friends to stage an intervention.
Of course they are still “together”(Pete shows up for the staged photo-ops and selfies and then Kris and Kim leak it to the tabloids), the brand businesses that Kris has in Kim’s name aren’t as successful as Kris paid Forbes and the press to write, Kris still can’t find someone who is higher in status than Kayne to date Kim, Kayne is still probably “dating” that IG model(which means that Kris and Kim will leak more stories about Kayne and his new muse over the weekend) and it seems that Kayne cuts off contact with Kim and her family whenever he has a new muse, and Kim got some backlash for the negative comment she made about her second husband(someone said that she gave a speech at a wedding and implied that her second husband was gay).
Not a fan of the KKs. And of course they are leaking and exploiting EVERYTHING.
But Pete looks fine and he’s in therapy and takes his meds ( unlike a certain other person) so no reason to act like he doesn’t have his full faculties and isn’t aware, that’s somewhat insulting to people who take their mental illness issues seriously. I doubt he thinks he’s gonna marry her. She’s much older and has 4 kids. This is just a bit of fun for both of them. Of course Kim and kris will be exploiting it for publicity though.
They do exploit everything, but sometimes it benefits others so it’s ok. Kim leaked to the press that she chartered a plane to help get a Afghan girls soccer team out of the country. Did she pay for the plane or was it a favor from a mega rich friend? I don’t know…but she’s getting all the praise. Either way, those girls are free, so that’s great.
Pete Davidson is only 28?! He looks way older.
Lord that dumb duck face peace sign she ALWAYS does is super old already.
I think their relationship is cute for right now. I’m sure he’s a breath of fresh air compared to Kanye. I see it being a couple months long and then they will part amicably. (Hopefully)
Unpopular opinion : HE is out of HER league. He usually dates women that are way more intellectally stimulating (ok, except maybe Kaia Gerber).
