Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian's Relationship Timeline

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are the couple the world didn’t see coming. And yet, for all their shock value, there’s actually quite a bit that the two have in common. Both seem to share a bitingly sarcastic sense of humor, for one. A strong work ethic, another. More importantly, however, they both seem to make each other happy.

Though it took a few years for the twosome to get together after meeting at a birthday party for mutual acquaintance Kid Cudi, with Kardashian married to Kanye West at the time and Davidson pursuing several high-profile relationships of his own, including flings with Kaia Gerber and Bridgerton's Phoebe Dynevor. Fate stepped in at just the right time, bringing the then-single couple together again on the set of Saturday Night Live . Read on for all their biggest relationship milestones since then, from the moment they first piqued the internet’s interest to Davidson’s more recent permanent professions of love.

• Kardashian and Davidson first crossed paths after she accidentally crashed a birthday party he was attending with her now ex-husband, Kanye West.
• They shared their first public kiss in a Saturday Night Life skit prior to coming out as a couple.
• Davidson has his girlfriend’s name branded on his skin.
• The Keeping Up With the Kardashian star has gone on record to say that she's finally found her happiness.

January 31, 2019: Crashing Boys’ Night

Kardashian and Davidson’s first hangout was far from romantic, with the former’s ex-husband, Kanye West, at their side, along with Timothée Chalamet and Kid Cudi. The social rights activist shared photos of the guys sharing a laugh from the evening via Twitter, telling Jimmy Fallon the following month that she hadn’t realized she was crashing a boys’ night by tagging along. "We went to Nobu and when I got there I realized it was like a guys' dinner," she said.

Still, the group wound up having a blast. "It was just such a fun night,” Kardashian shared. “Everyone just had such a good time. The vibe was so good and I didn't want to ruin it so I sat in the corner and just documented it for them. I was playing Word Connect on my phone and letting them have their guy time."

Kardashian spoke openly about her new romance for the first time in a March profile for Variety. She told the publication that while she had not yet filmed with her beau for her new Hulu show, The Kardashians, she was “not opposed to it. It’s just not what he does," she explained. "But if there was an event happening and he was there, he wouldn’t tell the cameras to get away.”

Either way, she promised fans more insight into their coupledom with the show, including tidbits about “how [they] met and who reached out to who and how it happened and all the details that everyone wants to know.” She added, “I’m definitely open to talking, and I definitely explain it.”

March 16, 2022: The Grand Gesture

Kardashian revealed to Ellen DeGeneres in March that her significant other had gone the extra mile to prove his love for her—and then some—by getting her name branded into his skin. “The Kim one isn’t a tattoo, it’s actually a branding,” she shared. “Because, let me explain it. He wanted to do something that was really different. He’s like, ‘I don’t want to be able to get rid of it, or to cover it up, and I just wanted it there, as like a scar, on me.'”

She also shared that she had a lot more photographic evidence where their selfie came from, telling the talk show host, “I have the cutest pictures of us, and I want to be like, ‘Oh my God, we’re so cute,’ but then I’m like, ‘Don’t be so desperate, don’t be posting so much, just give a glimpse.’"

I was like, ‘You know what, I’m in my forties, like, f*ck it, sorry, like, just go for it, find your happiness.’ And I went for it. And I took my time, and I found it. And it feels so good, and I want to hold onto that forever."
