Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are set to make their long-awaited red carpet debut as a couple on Monday 2 May as they are to attend the 2022 Met Gala in New York together.
The jealous, fame-hungry 41-year-old mum-of-four has reportedly been planning an eye-grabbing outfit to wear to the upcoming Met Gala to steal attention back from her 43-year-old sister Kourtney who has been grabbing headlines due to her engagement to rock star Travis Barker.
Kim is hoping the world will refocus its attention on her when she waltzes down the red carpet with her 28-year-old toy boy on her arm.
Here is everything you need to know about Kim and Pete’s romance so far.
Who is Kim Kardashian?
Kim Kardashian, for anyone who doesn’t know, is a fame hungry former sex tape star who became a reality star.
She was born on 21 October 1980 to parents Kris Jenner, 66, and Robert Kardashian – who passed away in 2003 at the age of 59 following a battle against cancer.
Kim has one older sister, Kourtney, who is 43, and three younger sisters; Khloe, 37, Kendall, 26, and Kylie, 24 – and a 35-year-old brother named Rob.
The star has been mocked over her chaotic love life which has seen her fail in marriage three times – with her first marriage to Damon Thomas lasting from 2000 until 2004, her second to Kris Humphries in 2011 collapsing after just 72 days and their divorce being finalised in 2013, and her explosive marriage to Knaye West lasting from 2014 until 2022.
Who is Pete Davidson?
Pete Davidson is an American actor and comedian who was born on 16 November 1993.
He is the son of an American hero – Scott Matthew Davidson who was a New York City fireman who died saving lives in the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001 as he helped evacuate staff from the World Trade Centre and was inside when the building collapsed.
Pete broke into the world of stand up comedy when he was just a teen and has appeared in TV shows and films and is a regular contributor to the iconic US show Saturday Night Live.
He has been mocked for his highly publicised and very eclectic dating life which has seen him woo comedian Carly Aquilino, socialite Cazzie David, pop singer Ariana Grande, British actress Kate Beckinsale, actress Margaret Qualley, model Kaia Gerber, and Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor.
How did Kim and Pete meet and when did they start dating?
Kim and Pete first met when she was still married to Kanye as they all attended the birthday party of Kid Cudi – aka Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi on 31 January 2019.
However it wasn’t until after the collapse of Kim and Kanye’s marriage in early 2021 that the pair embarked on a romance.
The duo were thrust together on screens for an episode of Saturday Night Live which aired with Kim as the guest host back in October last year.
That same month, the early sparks of romance were said to have ignited and come ablaze as the couple became boyfriend and girlfriend.
When did Kim and Pete go official with their romance?
Despite being one of the biggest attention seekers to ever walk the face of the earth, Kim was surprisingly coy about her relationship with Pete – keeping developments out of the public eye despite reports they were going out for dinners together and even spending Christmas 2021 as an item.
It wasn’t until March 2022 that the pair signalled to fans that they were 100% committed to each other as they finally went ‘ Instagram Official’.
They posed in an awkward and contorted pose with Pete bending backwards to look up at Kim as they both lay on the floor of a corridor.
The snap was shared, much to the delight of fans, alongside the caption: “Whose car are we gonna take?!”
What does Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West think of her romance with Pete?
Rumours, reports and news of Kim and Pete’s romance did not sit well with Kanye – who lashed out at his ex-wife with whom he shares four children.
The self proclaimed genius wrote songs where he targeted Pete in his lyrics – and even buried the comedian ‘alive’ in a music video.
Kanye also took aim at Kim during the early months of her romance with Pete to make shock accusations that she had accused him of hiring a hitman to kill her, that she was blocking him from seeing their children, and that he was taking drugs.
