NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Pete Davidson’s brief interaction with Kim Kardashian at the 'SNL' 50th Anniversary Special afterparty reportedly ended with an abrupt exit.

The star-studded afterparty, hosted by Chris Rock at the Crane Club in New York City, saw several A-listers in attendance following the anniversary special on Sunday, February 16.

Among the guests was Pete Davidson, who had been enjoying the party until Kim Kardashian’s arrival later in the evening.

A source told The US Sun that as soon as Kardashian walked into the venue, one of Davidson’s pals sprang into action, saying, “I gotta get Pete out of here. Pete’s got to go.”

The insider continued, revealing that Davidson “really can’t be around” Kardashian at all, implying the tension between the two exes remains palpable. Davidson reportedly left the party shortly after her arrival.

Despite the party being described as "low-key" with "big names," the presence of Kardashian seemed to change the dynamic. 

A video circulating on social media shows the two former partners ignoring each other at the event, further suggesting that the reunion wasn’t as smooth as some may have thought.

However, a close friend of Pete Davidson later told People that “he has nothing but love and respect for Kim but has no interest in her anymore. Hopes everyone can move on.”

In October 2024, a source close to Pete Davidson said that the comedian was on good terms with his exes, sharing that he was "still friends with pretty much all his exes."

“He and Kim still talk occasionally. He’s a good guy," the insider remarked, adding about his famous exes, "They root for him."

Davidson and Kardashian, who dated for several months in 2021 before breaking up in August 2022, were seen briefly reuniting at the SNL special. The two also appeared to be on good terms at the 2023 Met Gala.

Davidson recently discussed his high-profile relationships and the media attention they attracted.

"It was pretty humiliating and upsetting, honestly," Davidson told Page Six. "Everyone is dating everyone, and it’s Hollywood. But because I’m ugly, they wrote about me. I was harassed for like, five years, and it made my life a living hell."

Internet speculates Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson ignored each other

Following the 'SNL50 Anniversary Special', a video showing Kim Kardashian walking past her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson sparked a lively debate online. As the footage went viral, many viewers speculated whether the two stars deliberately ignored each other or simply didn’t notice one another.

A social media user said, "'Walks past' bro, they didn’t even see each other."

Another added, "Shocking, someone acting like they don’t know their ex in public."

One commentator remarked, "Water under the bridge, she never loved him, she was always out of his league."

"That was a moment definitely awkward but hilarious too," said a critic.

However, some defended the situation, suggesting they likely didn’t see each other.

One person said, "They probably had already greeted each other earlier. Like they both attended Chris Rock party."

Another chimed in, "Maybe she didn’t see him."
