A Look Back At Kim Kardashian And Pete Davidson's Relationship After Their Awkward Run-In At SNL 50

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson briefly reunited during Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary special. But it got a little awkward between them on the red carpet, with the reality TV star seemingly snubbing the "hot girl" magnet. It then sparked questions about their current relationship, nearly three years after their split.

It's a whole new time for the two. Pete got rid of all his tattoos and Kim is looking like a doppelgänger of Bianca Censori—the wife of the Skims Founder's ex-husband, Kanye West. Funny enough, the rapper was famously pressed about his ex-wife's fling with the comedian. Here's a look back at Kim and Pete's "fast" romance.

"I was just thinking, 'Heard about this BDE [big d--- energy], need to get out there, I need to jumpstart my...' I was just basically DTF [down to f***]," Kim continued.

After spending Christmas apart that year, they were seen vacationing in the Bahamas in January 2022. They even went to dinner at Jeff Bezos' house that month. Just imagine Kanye watching this romance unfold, just two months before his divorce from Kim was finalized.
