Pete Davidson praised his ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian's 'superhuman' skill nearly four years after their split. The 32-year-old comedian, who is navigating his recent breakup with Elsie Hewitt after welcoming their daughter last year, made the comments on Friday's episode of The Pete Davidson Show.
The SNL alum previously dated the SKIMS founder, 45, from 2021 until their separation came to light in August 2022 after nine months together. 'Isn't it crazy Kim's good at acting?' Davidson questioned his guest Nikki Glaser. 'I remember one day she was just like, "I think I'm gonna be an actress." And I was like, "F*** yeah."'
The star then applauded the reality star's acting skills after she appeared in shows such as American Horror Story and the Hulu series All's Fair. 'And then she's just good at it, and I was like, "God, get the f*** out of here." She's so good at acting.'
Nikki Glaser Weighs In
Kardashian has also taken on a role in the forthcoming Netflix movie The Fifth Wheel alongside Glaser. 'She's amazing. She's so smart. She does anything she wants to do. Especially if people are like, "You can't do this,"' Glaser said of the TV personality while discussing the topic. 'And for her to go into acting with all the public perception of her anyway, she knew she was gonna - everyone was gonna look for her to fail.'
Glaser further expressed that the mom-of-four 'exceeded my expectations.' 'I already liked her, and she was just better than that,' she continued.
What Davidson Learned
Davidson also gushed, 'She's superhuman,' before adding what he had 'learned' from Kardashian. 'I learned from her that no matter what's going on, like whatever in the news, you're still you, and you can just still go do s***.'
Davidson and Kardashian crossed paths when she hosted Saturday Night Live in October 2021, and the two shared their first kiss while portraying classic Disney characters during a sketch. The TV personality opened up about the kiss during an interview on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast when she and the actor were still dating. 'When we kissed, I was just like, "Hmm!" It was a stage kiss, but it was still like, a little zing. It wasn't anything like a super-crazy feeling.'
During the course of their relationship, the former couple had taken lavish trips together and made a glammed up appearance at the 2022 MET Gala in New York City. However, news of their split was confirmed in August 2022 with a source telling People at the time, 'Part of the reason they split was because of their busy schedules. They both travel all the time and it was hard.'
Kardashian's Career Moves
Kardashian has been focusing on her entertainment career in recent years and has appeared in projects such as Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie (2023), American Horror Story: Delicate (2023) and All's Fair (2025). She has also taken on a role in the upcoming Netflix comedy film The Fifth Wheel alongside Nikki Glaser, Brenda Song, Fortune Feimster and Jack Whitehall. Eva Longoria is directing the movie, although an official release date has yet to be announced.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Kardashian has taken a big step when it comes to her entertainment career by adding another project under her belt. She will be one of the executive producers on an upcoming YA Netflix series titled Calabasas, Deadline reported. Kardashian is joining other executive producers on the project including Alexandra Milchan and Emma Roberts.
Calabasas takes inspiration from the 2021 book titled If You Lived Here You'd Be Famous By Now by Via Bleidner. The premise of the series will follow the daughter of the headmaster of an elite private school who 'is destined to have it all' but enters 'a forbidden romance' with a boy 'determined to burn down her glittering world,' according to Netflix. 'In Calabasas, where desires are never as clean as appearances suggest, falling in love might be the most dangerous rebellion of all.'
Davidson's Current Relationship
Davidson's comment about The Kardashians star comes amid his recent reported split with Elsie Hewitt. Their breakup news came to light earlier this month after 14 months together. Late last year in December, their daughter Scottie was born. A source told Us Weekly that the pair are 'still sorting things out' following their separation. The pair 'tried to make it work but there were different stressors, including having a baby together as two people who didn't yet know each other that well.'
'They are both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby,' the insider added. The source also told the outlet that it is 'very unlikely' of a reconciliation between Hewitt and Davidson when it comes to their relationship. Weeks earlier, Davidson and Hewitt had been hit by claims that they were facing 'issues' in their relationship. 'There are issues, but they're trying to figure things out together,' a source claimed to People.
Davidson and Hewitt are both 'adjusting to parenthood' while also 'working through the process.' The model recently shared that she is looking for a 'right hand person' after the former couple welcomed their daughter in December 2025. She uploaded a selfie that showed her with a lipstick filter over her face as she sat on a chair. 'I'm currently trying to find an assistant/mother's helper/nanny type/basically right hand person,' Hewitt wrote. 'Apply here if qualified & serious. only looking @ responses with resumes. ($ ofcourse),' she added.
Hewitt also claimed in a TikTok video she is caring for her baby daughter and supporting herself 'on my own.' Sources, however, have refuted the claims Hewitt made in the video, telling The Daily Mail that Davidson 'covers all costs' related to their baby girl. A source told The Daily Mail: 'These posts make no sense, as she is well aware that Pete covers all costs associated with Scottie, including childcare, as well as Elsie's rent and health insurance, among other expenses.'
