As 'SNL’s 50th Anniversary celebration rolled out, the stage was set for several comic moments. However, as the fans noticed, the drama was aplenty outside the studio as well.
A video that has since then gone viral on the internet showed Kim Kardashian, 44, passing by her ex, who she dated from November 2021 to August 2022, without even throwing a glance at him.

Dressed in a fitted silver Balenciaga gown, Kim regally passed by her ex, who was then busy interacting with other fans on the side. Pete, 31, also looked dapper as he styled a navy blue suit over a striped shirt for the occasion.
The former couple met during the Met Gala of 2021, before starting to date in November. They made their red carpet debut together at the premiere of ‘The Kardashians’ in 2022.
