Here’s The Latest On Those Kim Kardashian And Pete Davidson Dating Rumors

If you're fascinated about how Kim and Pete's worlds are actually connected, then read on. You could be forgiven for thinking that Kim and Pete met for the first time when she was hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time on October 9th. Kim was thrown in at the deep end, and even shared a kiss (a proper kiss – not even an air kiss so often favored by Hollywood stars on the red carpet) while they were pretending to be Aladdin and Princess Jasmine in one of her many SNL sketches. FYI, they smooched while 'flying' on the magic carpet. We're not ashamed to admit that we’ve rewatched the clip about 5,000 times to see if we could spot any sparks flying or if Kim is just a really good actress, but the jury is still out.

However, that's not the first time their paths crossed. The first time that was actually documented Kim style – i.e. with a picture – was way back in January 2019 if you can believe it, as Kim shared a picture of Pete with Kanye and Willy Wonka actor Timothée Chalamet at Kid Cudi's birthday party. And according to insiders, Pete and Kim are actually really good "friends" – perhaps that's how she landed her SNL gig in the first place – as they know a lot of the same people.

"They hang in the same circles so they will be together from time to time," an insider told People. "It's just friends hanging out." We’ve done some digging (you're welcome) and it turns out that 31-year-old musician Machine Gun Kelly is a mutual friend. MGK, who is currently dating Megan Fox, is close friends and has recorded music with Travis Barker, who we all know by now is engaged to Kim's older sis, Kourtney Kardashian. Kourtney and Travis, in case we didn’t already mention, were also at the theme park on Friday night. Seriously, such a small world!

We thought Kourtney and Travis were an intriguing couple to start with, but now they're one of our all-time favorites. We think Kim and Pete might just be an even more unexpected rumored couple – but we’re not mad about it. We actually kind of really want it to happen!
