Kim finally reveals the full story of how she ended up with the Saturday Night Live alum after the pair kissed while she was hosting on-screen.
First, Kim Kardashian kept her relationship with Pete Davidson at rock bottom, even while filming the first season of Hulu’s new The Kardashians. That changed with this latest episode.
At first her concern was that she didn’t want to be perceived as an “idiot. Or whore” if things didn’t last between the two. Even in public, the two played very shy for the first few months, with fans speculating if this was a friendship or something more.
Kim played it out at the time as if the two were just having fun, and turns out that might be even truer than we thought.

Fans already knew it all started when Kim hosted “Saturday Night Live” in October 2021. In a pivotal moment in their relationship, destined to go the distance, the two shared an onscreen kiss during an “Aladdin”-themed sketch.
Kim admitted she felt something herself in that moment, saying she felt “a vibe” when they kissed.
“I thought, ‘Oh shit, maybe I just need to try something different.’ But Pete doesn’t come to my after party,” she shared. “Everyone was at my after party. He doesn’t give me the time of day.”
Apparently there is some truth to the old adage that being hard to come by has value, so to speak. In fact, it was Kim who made every effort to get in touch with Pete, admitting she had reached out to a producer on the show to get his number.
However, that vibe she was feeling didn’t necessarily tell the recently divorced woman that she was ready to embark on a new relationship. “I just thought I heard about this BDE and I need to get out of there,” she laughed. “I have to give a jump start.”
Kim then said in plain English, “I was basically just DTF.”

DTF is “down to f—” and BDE was attributed to ex Ariana Grande’s Pete Davidson, who described his “big d— energy” by basically saying it was literal in his case. Pete awkwardly downplayed that claim in later interviews, joking that Ariana’s perspective might be wrong because she’s such a petite person.
However, upon meeting Pete, Kim was attracted to him for more than his “energy.” She called him “the best person I’ve ever met,” speaking of his heart and sense of humor.
“People always say he’s so funny and it has everything to do with how funny he is. But that’s about fourth on my list of why I like him,” Kim shared. “He always wants the best for people, can handle anything, always does it with grace. He’s really, really thoughtful and humble and so real. I would say the perfect word to describe him is real.”
Funnily enough, while Pete played tough by skipping Kim’s after-party, he had actually already tried to get his shot with the reality star after her marriage to Kanye West ended.
Kim revealed that Megan Fox told her that Pete was looking up Kim’s number even before her “SNL” appearance, and Megan told him, “Dude you have a better take of me and Machine gun Kelly getting eaten by crocodiles when you ever got her number.'”

Little did she know it wouldn’t be too long before Kim looked up Pete’s number — and found a much more likeable accomplice in this “SNL” producer than Pete found in Megan.
As for that BDE energy, Kim hinted at it while discussing her evolving sex life now that she’s in her 40s. “When I turned 40, everyone said, ‘This is the best sex of your life,'” she laughed. “And so far–“
She ended the thought with a wink, and since she and Pete are still going strong, we think we can fill the void there.
Pete even made his first appearance on the show, chatting with Kim on the phone while she was on her way to photograph her cover for Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue.
Now that he’s retired from Saturday Night Live after eight seasons, will Pete have time on his schedule — or interest — to appear on future episodes of The Kardashians? Fans can find out when new episodes are out every Thursday on Hulu.
