Pete Davidson’s Awkward Reaction To Kim Kardashian Is Now Viral

Pete Davidson was visibly uncomfortable when his dating history, and particularly his high-profile relationship with Kim Kardashian, was put under the microscope during a live television interview this week.

Appearing on “Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney” alongside fellow comedian Luenell, Pete Davidson squirmed as questions turned personal.

Luenell wasted no time getting into the meat of the conversation, bluntly asking how Davidson continues to “pull all these bad b-tches.”

“To me, you’re just an average guy,” she said, teasing him. “I want to know the mystique. Now, you’ve had Kim K…”

Davidson’s reaction was immediate. “Oh god,” he groaned, placing his hand over his face as the live audience laughed.

Luenell continued, referencing his current relationship with model Elsie Hewett and cheekily suggesting, “What I think, for the research and for women across America, I think that you should take me out.”

“If that’s what it takes to stop this, yeah,” Davidson replied, laughing awkwardly but clearly ready to move on from the topic.

In 2023, the comedian appeared on Jon Bernthal’s “Real Ones” podcast, where he challenged the public’s obsession with his relationships.

“In 12 years I’ve dated 10 people,” Davidson noted. “That became all anyone would talk about. I’m not on Instagram. I’m not on social media. I’m not, like, flexing, you know what I mean?”

Davidson and Kardashian first made headlines in October 2021 after she hosted “Saturday Night Live.”

Their unexpected romance became a media sensation, especially following her high-profile split from Kanye West. During their nine-month relationship, Kardashian often spoke publicly about how “happy” and “content” she was with Davidson, calling their time together “a good feeling just to be at peace.”

Despite their chemistry, the couple split in August 2022. At the time, insiders shared that the duo’s hectic work schedules played a major role in their decision to part ways.

The two were recently seen reconnecting at the “SNL 50th” anniversary special in February. A source told Page Six that Davidson has nothing but love and respect for Kim, adding, “They are on good terms. He hopes everyone can move on.”

Davidson’s dating history has long been a subject of fascination.

In addition to Kardashian, the “King of Staten Island” star has been romantically linked to Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor, and Emily Ratajkowski.

Currently, he’s dating model Elsie Hewett, and sources say the comedian is “all in” with the 27-year-old beauty.

But, while his dating history has been a hot topic, the “King of Staten Island” star has made it clear that he’d prefer a narrative shift.

“I just want to be known for doing good work,” Davidson told W Magazine in a December 2024 interview. “I want to be out there only when it’s [a] movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures. That’s when I want to be seen.”

In a playful new video that surfaced online, the couple shared a rare peek into their relationship, beginning with the nostalgic “Rugrats” theme song before transitioning to candid footage of Davidson smiling in a loosely tied white bathrobe. The pair could be seen laughing together as the camera panned across the room, capturing a moment that highlighted their natural chemistry and down-to-earth connection.

While the timeline of their relationship has remained largely under wraps, speculation began swirling earlier this month when Page Six reported that Davidson was dating someone “very different” from his previous high-profile partners.

“She respects Pete and his desire for privacy,” a source told the outlet. “Although things are new for Pete, he really likes this woman.”

Just one day before Hewitt shared the now-viral clip, paparazzi captured the couple engaging in PDA during a cozy getaway to Palm Beach, Florida, sparking curiosity about the identity of the mystery brunette. Page Six later confirmed the woman in question was indeed Hewitt.

Best known for her modeling career and select screen appearances, Hewitt has previously been linked to names like music producer Benny Blanco and actor Jason Sudeikis.
