Maintaining a vibrant love life has posed significant challenges for Kim Kardashian. The Kardashians star candidly admitted that navigating the dating scene post-divorce from her ex-husband, Kanye West, has been fraught with turbulent moments. This was particularly evident when the rapper seemed to take direct swipes at Pete Davidson during Kim's relationship with the Saturday Night Live star.
In fact, Kim recounted a particularly distressing incident during her appearance on the podcast Call Her Daddy. When host Alex Cooper inquired about "the Pete music video," likely referring to Kanye's 2022 music video for "Eazy," Kim revealed the emotional toll it took. In the video, Kanye is depicted kidnapping a claymation version of Pete, burying him alive, and causing roses to bloom from his head. "That made me feel really sad," Kim, 44, confessed on the October 15th episode of the podcast. "It really wasn't fair for him. And I felt so incredibly sad and sorry for him."
While the incident deeply upset the founder of SKIMS, she shared that Pete—whom she dated for nine months from 2021 to 2022—handled the situation with remarkable grace. "He was such a great man who was like, 'I got this, don't worry, it's all good'—or at least he acted that way," she recalled. "It must have been terrible to be put in that position."
Kim, who shares four children—North, 12; Psalm, 9; Chicago, 7; and Saint, 6—with Kanye, also noted that the rapper's presence in her life has influenced her other romantic endeavors. "There have been situations where I'll get close to someone, and then it's like, 'Wait, wait, wait, wait, I don't really want to deal with your ex,'" Kim revealed. "It has been a little frustrating, but... my person wouldn't care about that."
Meanwhile, Kim also offered insights into her co-parenting relationship with the Grammy winner. She noted that it's been "a couple of months" since their children heard from their dad. "I raise the kids full time," she shared. "They live with me, and I strive for a great, healthy relationship between my kids and their dad. He knows that. I consistently push for it, but I also protect them when necessary, and it fluctuates in waves and phases. It's a lot of work."
