Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are officially a couple, and they’ve already been papped out holding hands to cement their romance. Sources have spoken to Page Six, E!, and Entertainment Tonight about what their new relationship is really like.
Kardashian is happy, but she isn’t calling it serious at this point. “They are really happy and seeing where it goes,” a source told E!. “Pete has told her he doesn’t want to see anyone else. She is telling some people they aren’t super serious but she isn’t seeing anyone else… She’s trying to not make a big deal about it but is super into him. Kim is smitten over him and it’s very exciting to her.”
This is Kardashian’s first relationship since she filed for divorce from ex Kanye West in February. The energy between her and Davidson is light, and Kardashian is “giddy” around him, E!’s source said: “He makes her laugh the entire time they are together and she is completely enthralled by him.” This will be a long distance, bicoastal romance, E!’s source added, as Kardashian lives in California and Davidson lives in New York. “They are making the distance work and have plans to continue seeing each other,” the source said.
Entertainment Tonight was told by its own source that the connection between Davidson and Kardashian has deepened over the past couple weeks. “Kim and Pete are dating and having a great time together,” the source said, confirming their romantic relationship status. “Pete is a romantic and goes out of his way to make Kim feel special. Kim thinks Pete is hysterical and he’s constantly making her laugh, but they also have been connecting on a deeper level.”
A second source told Entertainment Tonight that the two have been spending almost all their time together: “Pete and Kim are 100 percent dating and are very into each other,” that source said. “They are pretty much inseparable and very affectionate when they’re together. They are supportive of each other’s projects and are really taking an interest in what the other is passionate about. Pete has been in a great mood since him and Kim got together and he is very calm, chill, and easy to get along with.”
Multiple sources told Page Six, meanwhile, that this is going to be a more private romance by Kardashian standards. “[They] want to keep it as private and low-key as possible,” a source said. “They’re still getting to know each other, and want as little pressure as possible. They’re trying to keep it under wraps.” And while sources will call it a relationship, Kardashian and Davidson are a little more reluctant to put labels on it.
“They’re dating. There’s no formal title,” Page Six‘s source said. “They’re dating and getting to know each other—still figuring it out.”
