7 Shocking Details About Kim Kardashian And Pete Davidson’s 2025 Reunion: Is 'Kete' Back On?
The whirlwind romance between beauty mogul Kim Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson, affectionately dubbed 'Kete' by fans, remains one of the most talked-about celebrity pairings in recent memory.

While the initial split was attributed to demanding schedules and long-distance challenges, sources close to Kim now suggest she may still harbor a "soft spot" for her ex, adding a new layer to the complex narrative of their post-breakup life.

From *SNL* Kiss to SNL50 Reunion: The Full 'Kete' Relationship Timeline
The pairing of the reality TV icon and the edgy comedian was a cultural shockwave that began with a single sketch and ended with a quiet split, only to be reignited by a major anniversary event.
The Spark: The Jasmine and Aladdin Kiss
The relationship officially began in October 2021, shortly after Kim Kardashian hosted *Saturday Night Live*. During a now-iconic sketch where they played Disney's Jasmine and Aladdin, the two shared a kiss. Kim later revealed on her Hulu show, *The Kardashians*, that she felt a "vibe" and decided to make the first move after Pete failed to show up at the *SNL* after-party.
The 'DTF' Confession and the 'BDE' Factor
In a moment of candid reality TV, Kim confessed that she was initially just "DTF" (Down to F***) with Pete, driven by rumors of his "Big Dick Energy" (BDE). This admission cemented their relationship as one of the most unconventional and sexually frank in Hollywood. She later confirmed that she was looking for something casual after her messy divorce from Kanye West (Ye), but the relationship quickly became serious.
The High-Profile Months and Permanent Ink
The nine months that followed were filled with public dates, red-carpet appearances (including the Met Gala), and constant media attention. Pete Davidson showcased his commitment by getting multiple tattoos dedicated to Kim, including a chest branding of her name, which Kim confirmed and called "cute." Other tattoos included "My girl is a lawyer" and initials for Kim and her four children. This level of public commitment was a major talking point for fans and critics alike.
The Real Reasons They Split and the Reunion Rumors of 2025
The relationship ended in August 2022. While initial reports cited the 13-year age gap, the primary and most consistent reason for the breakup was the difficulty of maintaining a long-distance relationship combined with their demanding careers.
The Long-Distance Challenge
At the time of the split, Kim was based in Los Angeles focusing on her businesses (SKIMS, SKKN) and reality show, while Pete was in Australia filming the movie *Wizards!*. The intense, long-distance strain proved too much for the budding romance, leading them to call it quits after nine months.
Kim’s Post-Breakup Regret and Pete’s Cringe
Following the split, both parties offered different perspectives on the relationship. On *The Kardashians*, Kim reflected on the romance, expressing a slight regret that she had "jumped" into a relationship with Pete so quickly after her divorce from Kanye West. Meanwhile, Pete Davidson, during an interview with fellow comedians, showed visible discomfort and "cringed" when the topic of his brief romance with Kim was brought up, suggesting a desire to move past the intense media scrutiny.
The SNL50 Reunion and the 'Soft Spot' Rumors
The biggest update to the 'Kete' saga came in February 2025 at the *SNL* 50th Anniversary event. Both Kim and Pete were in attendance, and while they were seen walking awkwardly past each other on the carpet, reports quickly surfaced that they had a "mini-reunion" and were spotted talking at the after-party.
This interaction immediately fueled reunion rumors, with sources claiming that Kim still has a "soft spot" for the comedian and that they "still talk occasionally." Fans, especially on social media, have been vocal in their desire for the two to rekindle their romance, especially after Pete's recent, less-tattooed photoshoots.
The Future of 'Kete'
As of late 2025, Kim Kardashian remains officially single, having had a subsequent, low-profile connection with Odell Beckham Jr. Pete Davidson has also been linked to other high-profile women. However, the consistent reports of occasional contact, Kim’s enduring affection for him, and the spark re-ignited at SNL50 keep the door open. While no official reunion has been confirmed, the possibility of 'Kete' 2.0 remains a compelling and highly anticipated storyline in the world of celebrity gossip, proving that their brief but intense romance left a permanent mark on pop culture.
