me think about when I'm at a bar for 20 minutes and then I'm like, “This has been nice but unfortunately now I need to go home and eat a snack by myself.” At the 2022 Met Gala, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are expected to walk the red carpet together, returning to the place where they first connected. Many people pin the flashy couple's first meeting to Kardashian's host gig on Saturday Night Live, or to a 2019 birthday party both attended for Kid Cudi.
But Miss K herself said on a podcast recently that she and Davidson first connected at the 2021 Met Gala.She was recently estranged from her husband Kanye West. He was in a brief moment of singlehood between dating obscenely famous and talented women.
Can I make it any more obvious? “He knew I was hosting SNL, but it wasn’t announced yet, and so he came up to me and we were talking about SNL,” Kardashian said in April. She explained that after talking about the comedy show for a while, he asked for her number. “I had gloves on and I couldn't get in my phone with the gloves, and I was like, ‘Oh I have gloves, And I can’t—” She remembers that Davidson responded, “All right cool,” and walked away.
Imagine the absurd romantic-comedy tension of it all: trying to chat up the most famous woman in the world while she is dressed like a couture fencer. Trying to give a guy your number, but you can't because you are wearing evening gloves and a basically have a hoodie on your face.
The mind reels! Luckily, they found each other just weeks later at the classic meet cute spot second only to the Met Gala—the Saturday Night Live writer's room. (Actually, a number of famous couples forged love backstage at the late night show, including .) This year, Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian
