Kim Kardashian‘s breakup with Pete Davidson is obviously not of “bad blood” as the duo was seen with Usher at the 2023 Met Gala. In snaps captured at the event, the couple who went their separate ways in August 2022 were all smiles with the “Good Kisser” singer. Their ensembles for the event also caught the attention of everyone.
Pete Davidson, Kim Kardashian, and Usher Photographed Together at the 2023 Met Gala
ICYMI, Kim Kardashian was at Usher’s residency show in Las Vegas the last two weekends before meeting with Pete Davidson at the 2023 Met Gala. The gala was a platform for a reunion after the former couple called their nine-month-old relationship quits. The reason for Kim Kardashian’s split from Pete Davidson is still unclear.
Their reunion at the gala was amicable as they were all smiles in the photos from the event held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Unlike this year’s, the former couple sent heads spinning at the gala last year with Kim’s infamous “Marilyn Monroe” gown.
Pete helped her up the stairs due to the tightness of her dress. But this year, the tv star donned a pearled elegant corseted Schiaparelli dress, needing no assistance. The dress comprises over 16,000 crystals and nothing less than 50,000 freshwater pearls. While the comic and the singer were decked in stylish black tuxedos as they had a smile-filled chat inside the venue.
Why Did the Kardashian-Davidson Ship Sink?
There have been speculations on the main reason for Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian’s split. But one thing is clear; they’re still on good terms. After meeting on the set of ‘SNL,’ ET disclosed that distance and work caused their split.
According to the ET source, being far apart was a major factor that caused things to die down between them. The source explained that:
“Pete and Kim broke up. The distance has been hard and things were starting to fizzle out,” the source says. “Pete being away for so long was hard for them. Kim is doing well and she knows she has a lot going on. Pete has been super busy as well.”
Age is another reason that was cited for Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s breakup. Insiders exclusively revealed to Page Six that their ages and responsibilities caused the problem. Per the source:
“Pete is 28 and Kim is 41 — they are just in very different places at the moment,”
The insider further disclosed that the Kardashian star was exhausted by the relationship, and other things going on with her. According to the source:
“Pete is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment’s notice,” the source adds. “But Kim has four kids and it isn’t that easy. She needs to focus on the kids.”
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson didn’t give any official reason for their split, but they have remained friends as seen at the 2023 Met Gala.
