Watch: Pete Davidson Raves About Ex Kim Kardashian as “Superhuman”
Pete Davidson is keeping up with one particular ex.
The Saturday Night Live alum got candid about his feelings for Kim Kardashian—whom he split from in 2022 after nine months of dating—while interviewing comedian Nikki Glaser on The Pete Davidson Show.
“She’s superhuman,” Pete shared in the May 29 episode. “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–t.”
In addition to praising Kim’s “unbelievable” ability to not “give a f–k,” Pete—who shares daughter Scottie, 5 months, with Elsie Hewitt—also raved about the 45-year-old’s acting career.
“Isn’t it crazy Kim’s good at acting? I remember one day she was just like, ‘I think I’m gonna be an actress,'” Pete shared of a conversation he had with the Keeping Up star when they were dating. “And I was like, ‘F–k yeah.’ And then she’s just good at it, and I was like, ‘God, get the f–k out of here.’ She’s so good at acting.”
Indeed, Nikki is familiar with Kim’s chops as a performer, as the pair are costarring in the upcoming Fifth Wheel—a movie directed by Eva Longoria—alongside Fortune Feimster and Brenda Song.
“She’s amazing. She’s so smart. She does anything she wants to do,” Nikki raved, adding, “especially if people are like, ‘You can’t do this.’ 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.”
And that’s not the only talent of Kim’s that impressed the Golden Globes host. Nikki also applauded Kim’s ability to handle public criticism.

“Kim is kind of unaware of some of the biggest stuff. Where I would ask her, and she’d be like, ‘What’s that?’ And I’m like, ‘The biggest news thing about [you],'” Nikki said. “She protects herself from it. She exceeded my expectations. I already liked her, and she was just better than that.”
As such, Pete chimed in with one of the reasons he’s still a big fan of the SKIMS founder, telling Nikki, “She’s f–king funny.”
And Kim’s not the only funny lady Pete has gotten close to. The Staten Island native also dated comedians Cazzie David and Carly Aquilino before his 2018 engagement to Ariana Grande.

And while neither has shared exactly how their romance began, Davidson previously told Jon Bernthal on the Real Ones podcast, “These people that I’ve dated, I met them at work. I wasn’t in anyone’s DMs, no one was in mine.”
