He’s pursued some of Hollywood’s most striking beauties, and she’s finally single after six years of marriage: Was it only a matter of time before Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian caught feelings?
An OK! source reveals the flirtatious connection between The King Of Staten Island actor, 27, and the Skims founder, 41, during her October 9 Saturday Night Live hosting gig — which included an onscreen smooch! — is the real deal. And so is the chemistry they’ve shared on their recent cozy dates!
The stars were seen holding hands and laughing on rides at Knott’s Scary Farm and enjoyed multiple dinners in NYC, including a private rooftop meal at a pizza place in Davidson’s native borough of Staten Island.
“They have such a strong connection,” says the source. “Kim’s going with the flow, but she’s excited about what it could bring.”
A second insider explains the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, who’s currently divorcing Kanye West, “needed lightness and laughter, which Pete offers in abundance. She’s having a blast and telling people he’s like a breath of fresh air.”

A serial dater, the SNL funnyman has dazzled some of Hollywood’s most in-demand It Girls — including Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, Margaret Qualley and Phoebe Dynevor — and the mother-of-four is beginning to see why.
“Pete’s unlike anyone she’s dated,” says the insider. “He has her in stitches but also has an intellectual, deep side. She’s starting to see what all the fuss is about!”
The source adds that the duo is taking it slow. “Pete is not Kim’s usual type, but she gets butterflies around him,” dishes the source. “And that’s more than she can say for other guys.”
“They had such a blast filming SNL together,” the source went on, then added, “Pete’s doing a great job of charming Kim because she’s not seemed this happy in a very long time!”
Kardashian isn't the only one with butterflies: According to a source, Davidson has been chasing after the reality star for weeks following her SNL host debut.
“Pete was more supportive than anyone in the cast when Kim hosted,” a friend close to The Suicide Squad star dished to Radar. “He went out of his way to make sure she was comfortable and even took time to privately coach Kim to make sure all her jokes landed.”
