Save for Kanye, with whom Kim shares kids North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, the Kardashian-Jenner camp approves of the Staten Island, New York, native!

In fact, in late January, Pete and Kim were spotted grabbing Korean BBQ with Khloé Kardashian. The Good American founder “was one of the first to admit that she thought Kim’s infatuation with Pete was a passing phase. Now, after spending so much time with them, she’s convinced it’s the real thing,” an additional insider told In Touch.

As for Kardashian-Jenner matriarch, Kris Jenner, she’s also Team Pete. “Kris one hundred percent approves of Kim’s relationship with Pete,” a separate source told In Touch. “She has known Pete for years, trusts him and has even invited him to their Christmas festivities.”

Are Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson Still Together?

While The King of Staten Island actor has been down under filming his upcoming film, Wizards!, in Australia, the reality star didn’t let that affect their relationship. In July, Kim even flew halfway across the globe to visit her man on set. 

However, when they can’t be together physically, “Kim and Pete are in constant communication,” a source told Us Weekly in August 2022. Though the different “time zones and filming call times make talking difficult,” the insider noted that they “send each other love notes while the other is sleeping and FaceTime whenever their schedules link up.”

“The distance has been hard, but even communicating long-distance is exciting for them,” the source added, noting that the pair are “still very smitten with each other and can’t wait until they’re in the same place again.”

Nevertheless, the two split shortly after her visit to Australia, multiple insiders confirmed to In Touch that month. However, it appears the two don’t have bad blood, as one insider noted on August 5 that they “amicably split this week.”
