Pete Davidson abruptly leaves SNL party when ex Kim Kardashian shows up
Pete Davidson made a swift exit from a party related to Saturday Night Live over the weekend when his former girlfriend Kim Kardashian showed up, according to a report from The U.S. Sun. The comedian, aged 31, was in attendance at Chris Rock’s 60th birthday celebration at the Crane Club in NYC on Saturday evening, coinciding with the 50th anniversary show of SNL on Sunday.
An eyewitness noted that Pete arrived at the party accompanied by friends. However, as soon as Kim, aged 44, made her entrance, one of Pete’s acquaintances expressed the urgency to remove him from the situation, citing Pete’s discomfort in Kim’s presence. The source added that Pete seemed unable to handle being around the reality TV personality.
The gathering also included other notable figures such as Tom Hanks, Madonna, Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, Chevy Chase, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Amy Schumer, who is a close friend of Kim’s. Despite the star-studded guest list, the event was described as low-key and laid-back.
Both Kim and Pete had roles in the anniversary show of SNL. Their paths briefly intersected when they were involved in different sketches. Kim portrayed the sister of Kristen Wiig’s eccentric character alongside Scarlett Johansson, Will Ferrell, Fred Armisen, and Ana Gasteyer, while Pete appeared in multiple sketches, including a musical number with John Mulaney and a revival of his character Chad.
Although it remains unclear whether Kim and Pete exchanged words during the live broadcast, reports suggest that the former couple engaged in cordial conversation at an after-party following the show’s conclusion.
The whirlwind romance between Kim and Pete began with a spontaneous onstage kiss during an Aladdin sketch in October 2021 when she guest-hosted the show. Despite the romantic spark kindled by the kiss, their relationship eventually hit a roadblock following a public conflict involving Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West. The stress associated with the situation prompted Kim to end the relationship in August 2022.
Since the split, Pete has been linked to actress Chase Sui Wonders and Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline, though he is currently unattached. Similarly, Kim is reportedly single following a brief fling with Odell Beckham Jr.
The drama surrounding Pete and Kim continues to captivate fans, with their chance encounters and public appearances generating significant interest. As the saga unfolds, the spotlight remains fixed on this unconventional duo and their intriguing post-breakup trajectories.
