Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian may have ended their brief fling over a year ago, but the impact of Kanye West was felt throughout their nine-month romance. While Davidson, 31, holds no resentment towards Kim, insider reports suggest that Kanye’s behavior significantly contributed to their separation.
According to sources, when Pete discovered that Kim was dating someone else, it triggered unresolved feelings, linked to her dating life following Odell Beckham Jr.. Despite their short time together, “They were very much in love,” the insider noted.
The couple ended their relationship in August 2022, officially due to busy schedules. However, sources reveal that the truth was more intricate. Davidson, who has spoken about his mental health struggles, found it challenging to handle the public scrutiny and the chaos tied to dating a reality star.
“Kanye’s actions were overwhelming”
A source indicated that Kanye West, Kim’s former spouse, had a crucial influence on their breakup. His unpredictable behavior and public outbursts reportedly created an environment of fear for Davidson.
Kanye’s behavior damaged their relationship, and it took a toll,” the insider revealed. “Pete was genuinely frightened, leading him to have sleepless nights and constant anxiety about going out.
This pressure ultimately forced Davidson to end the relationship for the sake of his mental well-being. “It was detrimental for him, and he needed to prioritize his peace of mind,” the source explained.
Kim and Pete: a fleeting connection
Despite the challenges, sources highlight the authenticity of the bond between Kim and Pete. “They shared a unique connection, and Kim was very compassionate when Pete chose to end things,” the insider noted. Kim’s mother, Kris Jenner, also recognized Davidson‘s qualities, referring to him as “wonderful” and “low-drama.”
Though Pete wishes for a different outcome, he understands the relationship faced insurmountable hurdles. “He realizes that Kanye wouldn’t have permitted things to be different,” the insider concluded.
As Kim looks ahead, Pete reflects on their time together, hoping for a scenario where their relationship could have flourished without external pressures.
