Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson Reunion at 2023 Met Gala
From the 2023 Met Gala in New York City, it’s Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian.
At the May 1 event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Saturday Night Live alum and the Kardashians star ran into each other again, more than eight months after their breakup.
Pete, dressed to the nines in Fendi, was captured on camera hooking up with Kim, who looked stunning in a beaded Schiaparelli gown, and Usher, another celebrity in attendance.
The Met Gala holds special meaning for the exes. After all, it was there in May of 2021 when the two initially connected.
“He had been asking around for my number a little bit,” Kim said on an episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast last year. “I saw him at the Met and he knew I was hosting SNL, but it wasn’t announced yet. He came up to me and we were talking about SNL.”
The two lost touch until Kim appeared on Pete’s NBC sketch comedy show in October 2021. She was wearing gloves with her Balenciaga ensemble at the time, making it difficult for her to give him her number. Shortly after their on-screen kiss, which Kim admitted had given her “a little zing” in her head, the two began dating.
The SKIMS tycoon recalled, “When we kissed, I was just like, ‘Hmm!'” After a few days, I thought, “Hmm, there is some BDE action.”
Kim and Pete attended the Met Gala in May of last year, and everyone noticed that Kim was wearing Marilyn Monroe’s famous Bob Mackie-designed outfit. The Kardashians followed the pair on their fancy date, airing an episode in which they reflected on their initial meeting.
“Remember when I asked for your number at the last Met and you pretended that you couldn’t give it to me because you had gloves on?” When Pete inquired, Kim responded with a witty, “I know. Will you ask me again this time? I don’t have gloves on.”
After nine months of dating, though, the couple broke up in August. Sources close to Kim and Pete told E! News at the time of their breakup that despite having “a lot of love and respect for each other,” their busy schedules “made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.”
Pete has moved on from the breakup and is now dating Chase Sui Wonders, a fellow cast member from the show Bodies Bodies Bodies. Kim, meanwhile? This reality star has stated in the past that she is “not ready” for a relationship.
When asked what she was looking for, she said, “I’m not looking for anything,” on Live with Kelly and Ryan in September. “I think I just really need to be by myself and focus on finishing law school and my kids.”
