Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson: A timeline of their relationship

It’s been a wild few months for Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson. Hot off the heels of her sister, Kourtney, getting engaged to Travis Barker in October last year, Kim and Pete were spotted on some of their first “dates”.

After meeting - and sharing a kiss - on the set of Saturday Night Live in October, the pair have been spotted together several times, including at an amusement park, in the car, and they’ve also been pictured holidaying together in the Bahamas.

Now, the pair have been spotted making their first red carpet appearance at the Hulu preimiere of The Kardashians in LA.

It’s not the first high-profile relationship for either of them. Kardashian, 41, married Kanye West in May 2014 but filed for divorce in February last year.

Davidson, 28, has also had a spate of well-publicised relationships, having been engaged to Ariana Grande for a few months in 2018, as well as being seen with Kate Beckinsale, Kaia Gerber, Margaret Qualley and, most recently, with Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor.

So what exactly has transpired in the Kardashian-Davidson love fest so far? Read on for a timeline of the pair’s relationship.

The first known meeting between the pair was on 31 January, 2019 when Kardashian and West attended Kid Cudi’s birthday; Davidson was also in attendance along with Timothée Chalamet.

Davidson later spoke of the meeting on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show where he said that he “got stuck paying the bill”.

Kardashian hosted SNL on 9 October this year where she spent time with Davidson, a long-time cast member of the show.

In one of the sketches, Kardashian played Jasmine and Davidson played Aladdin and the pair shared an on-screen kiss.

In pictures obtained by People, Davidson and Kardashian are seen holding hands while going on a ride at Knott’s Scary Farm in Buena Park, California. The outing was a family affair as they were joined by Kourtney and Barker.

These images sparked rumours that the pair were dating, and social media was alight with memes about the pair’s relationship.

In early November, Kardashian reportedly flew out to New York, where Davidson lives, and the pair went on a rooftop date at a restaurant in Staten Island.

The next day, they reportedly went on another date in Manhattan and were joined by mutual friends.

On 5 November, Kardashian’s former husband unfollowed her on Instagram. A source told US Weekly that West is “not happy” about her relationship with Davidson and is “trying to stay upbeat and move on with his life”.

Appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Davidson jokes about his relationship with Kardashian.

“I want to address something,” Meyers said. “I feel like I want to confirm if it’s real or a rumour. This is something you’ve been reading a lot about in the press…we appreciate you doing it here.”

Davidson responded, trolling everyone: “I’ve been wanting to talk about this because there’s a lot of people I walk by, people are, like, whispering and making eyes at me. But it is true…I do have a show on Tubi coming out. The Tubi. A lot of people are shocked that I could get on a show like Tubi…but it’s a real thing.”

Davidson spends his 28th birthday with Kardashian, posting a picture of them alongside Flavor Flav and Kris Jenner on Instagram. He captions the image: “FLAVA FLAVVVVVVV.”

In images obtained by the Daily Mail, Davidson and Kardashian are seen holding hands while out in Palm Springs, California. In the images, Davidson is wearing pyjama bottoms from Kardashian’s SKIMS label.

In an interview on on Thursday’s episode of the podcast Honestly With Bari Weiss, Kardashian was asked to name her favourite SNL castmember.

The 41-year-old reality star laughed and called the question a “setup”.

“What a setup, what a setup, Bari,” she replied before adding: “You know who it is.”

The pair were joined by Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, Scott Disick, while on a date night in Staten Island on Saturday night.

The trio went to see the new Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: No Way Home after Davidson had an evening off his SNL duties. The show previously announced it was slimming down its cast and crew for its final taping of the year after a spike in Covid-19 cases in New York.

According to HollywoodLife, Kardashian has taken the relationship to the next level by introducing Davidson to her four children, eight-year-old North, six-year-old Saint, three-year-old Chicago and two-year-old Psalm.

The publication quoted a source as saying that the reality TV star introduced Davidson as “mommy’s friend” and she thought it was “really cute… that he tried to make her kids laugh and smile”.

It comes just a week after Davidson reportedly took Kardashian to Staten Island, New York, to meet his mother, Amy Waters Davidson.

Kardashian and Davidson have been pictured together holidaying in the Bahamas, People magazine reported.

In the photographs, Davidson wears a beige sweatshirt and shorts under a navy jacket, accessorised with a Louis Vuitton backpack and socks and sandals. Kardashian wears black jeans and a black cut-out top with a plunging neckline, along with sunglasses and a fuzzy clutch.

It comes after the magazine quoted a source as saying the pair have been “really cuddly and affectionate with each other”.

On New Year’s Eve, Davidson appeared in a special performance alongside Miley Cyrus for an NBC special. While promoting the live show on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier in December, Cyrus jokingly sang to Davidson: “All I know is that it should have been me. Pete, how did you do this to me?”

Fans noticed that Kardashian appeared to unfollow Cyrus on Instagram after the New Year’s Eve show.

It’s official: Kardashian is Davidson’s “girlfriend”, the comedian confirmed in an interview with People (The TV Show!).

The SNL star, who had a candle with a photograph of Kardashian on it in his bedroom, told the show that his life hasn’t changed that much since he stepped into the spotlight as rumours around him and Kardashian’s relationship grew.

He said: “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.”

“Or, if I’m off, I just either hand with my friends or chill with my girlfriend inside. So I don’t do much,” he added, referring to Kardashian.

While out on a date in New York City, Kardashian and Davidson were photographed publicly sharing a kiss since they began their relationship.

The image showed the SKIMS founder wearing an oversized blue puffer jacket and nylon track bottoms, while her beau stepped out in a brown coat, black jeans and trainers.

The pair were also photographed holding hands as they stepped out of their car to enter an Italian restaurant, Cipriani, for their dinner date.

The couple made their first official red carpet appearance together on Thursday evening when they were photographed arriving to the premiere of Hulu’s The Kardashians.

While they did not pose together on the red carpet, the joint arrival marks the first time that the couple have showcased their relationship at a public event.

For the occasion, Kardashian wore a silver, figure-hugging dress while Davidson opted for a black blazer, jeans, and a white T-shirt.
