It was a real-life fairy tale when the "Queen of Calabasas," Kim Kardashian, and the "King of Staten Island," Pete Davidson, got together. Even though the pair seemed unlikely and Kardashian had actually rejected Davidson's advances at first, she ended up pursuing the comedian, and thus, Kete was born. With nearly every one of their hand-holding outings and cross-country flights making headlines, it's easy to forget that these two had only been a bona fide thing for less than one rotation around the sun. Still, their relationship was full of good laughs.

"She's acting like a teenager," a source told Page Six in November 2021 of Kardashian dating Davidson. "She's constantly giggling. Pete has made her feel like the clock has moved 20 years back. She seems happy." 

However, six months after Davidson labeled Kardashian his girlfriend in February 2022, the reality TV star and SKIMS founder decided she wasn't ready for "something serious" with the funnyman, and they went their separate ways.

Here's a look back at Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson's relationship.

When back in New York, eagle-eyed fans spot Kardashian and Davidson on Staten Island at Campania, and the next day, they had dinner at Zero Bond in Manhattan. Things seemed to be getting more than platonic when the two of them celebrated Davidson's birthday with Flavor Flav — and somewhat made their Instagram debut as a couple.

"The whole night, I was so honored to be in their presence," Flav told Entertainment Tonight in December 2021. "One thing that I could say is Pete Davidson loves himself some Flavor Flav. Everything he does is, 'Flavor Flav this, Flavor Flav that, Flavor Flav this, Flavor Flav that.' So Kim said, 'OK, well, for your birthday, you are going to have Flavor Flav.' She sent for me, and that's how I ended up there. I was the birthday gift."

A couple of images in the carousel captured a solo Kimmie showing off her tinsel coat that she loves to re-wear.

The pair made their Met Gala debut, and in true Kim K. style, their arrival broke the internet (again). Not only was it their first Met together, but Kardashian also wore Marilyn Monroe's iconic "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" gown from 1962. The couple absolutely shut down the red carpet — literally, they were the last two to walk the steps.

Like the gentleman he is, Davidson helped Kardashian up the stairs while photos clicked to capture the legendary moment. "Doesn't he look handsome?" she asked her friend La La Anthony, one of the hosts of the Vogue livestream. Davidson joked, "She wouldn't let me wear my propeller hat, but it's fine."

August 2022: Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson break up

Sadly, Kete's time together came to an end by August 2022 after dating for nine months. E! News was the first to confirm the split with a source who said that the two still have "a lot of love and respect for each other," but ultimately, their hectic schedules and long distance "made it really difficult to maintain a relationship."

Another source told Entertainment Tonight that in addition to their busy calendars, the couple's "spark faded." 

"They had tons of chemistry, and still do, but Kardashian kind of wants to be single and date," the insider shared. "Kim still adores Pete and will always be friends with him. She still thinks he's the nicest and sweetest guy in the world, and there's no drama or anything weird between them now."
