While it’s been almost three years since they split up, it doesn’t look like Pete Davidson is quite ready to talk about his ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
The duo split up after nine months together in 2022 but Pete still couldn’t help but squirm at the mention of Kim during an appearance on live TV.
Pete, 31, was among a panel of stars appearing on Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney when he was asked by comedienne Luenell, 66, about his way with the ladies.
‘I want to know the mystique. Now you’ve had Kim K,’ Luenell said on the Netflix program.
Pete immediately reacted when confronted with the name of his ex, letting out a horrified ‘Oh God!’ before laughing uncomfortably.
He closed his eyes and buried his face in his hand as Luenell proceeded to go into his dating history.

A laughing Pete appeared uncomfortable as Luenell continued, mentioning that he has dated ‘other people’ and now ‘this little supermodel’ – his current girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, who was previously linked to his fellow Saturday Night Live alum Jason Sudeikis.
She then suggested he take her out on a date in order for her to understand his allure.
‘And what I think, for the research and for women across America, I think that you should take me out,’ Luenell insisted.
Pete – whose exes include Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, Kate Beckinsale, and Margaret Qualley – agreed in order to end the awkwardness: ‘If that’s what it takes to stop this, yes!’
Pete’s relationship with Kim began in November 2021, after she made her hosting debut on Saturday Night Live.
The duo even shared a kiss during their Aladdin sketch, and embarked on a nine-month long relationship that saw them attend the Met Gala together.
Pete even got several tattoos dedicated to Kim during their relationship, including one referencing her legal ambitions – an inking on his collarbone declaring ‘My girl is a lawyer’.
Speaking of their relationship on The Kardashians, Kim recalled feeling ‘a vibe’ during their kiss on SNL.

Kim got Pete’s phone number from a producer on the comedy show after he failed to show up to her afterparty, however was just looking to keep it casual at the time.
‘I wasn’t even thinking, like: “Oh my God. I’m gonna be in a relationship with him,”‘ Kim admitted, adding she was ‘basically just DTF.’
She explained that she had ‘heard about his BDE’ – meaning ‘big d*** energy,’ a phrase that went viral in connection to him when his former girlfriend Ariana Grande slyly tweeted about his ’10 inches.’
As their romance developed, she found Pete to be ‘really thoughtful and humble and just so genuine,’ before regarding him as ‘literally the best human being’ she ever met.
The relationship was not without challenges, however, as Pete found himself subjected to online harassment from Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West.

Kanye took to disparagingly referring to Pete as ‘Skete,’ and in 2022 he went viral for rapping in the single Eazy that he would ‘beat Pete Davidson’s a**.’
The bizarre music video of the song showed Kanye burying a claymation version of Pete alive, to the alarm of several viewers.
However a source claimed that Pete ‘finds the fact that Kanye included a cartoon version of him in his music video hysterical. He is almost flattered by it all because it is so ridiculous to him,’ via Entertainment Tonight.
Kanye defended the video on free speech grounds and argued: ‘Art is not a proxy for any ill or harm. Any suggestion otherwise about my art is false and mal intended.’
Kim and Pete split up in August 2022, with a source close to Pete telling DailyMail.com at the time: ‘Their break up was completely amicable. They had a great time while it lasted but long distance and different priorities saw it come to an end.’
Both Kim and Pete have moved on, with the comedian embarking on a number of romances ever since.
He’s currently dating Elsie while Kim was rumored to have been dating NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from September 2023 to March 2024.
Pete has enjoyed a long and star-studded dating history, stretching back to ‘nepo baby’ Cazzie David, the daughter of Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David.
He then embarked on a whirlwind romance with Ariana Grande from May to October 2018, including a brief engagement.
The following year, he was linked to Underworld star Kate Beckinsale, Andie MacDowell’s daughter Margaret Qualley and Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber.
He was linked to Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor from February to August 2021, and the next year there were rumors connecting him to Emily Ratajkoswki.
In September 2023 he began dating Madelyn Cline, star of the buzzy Netflix show Outer Banks, but they split by early the following year.
