Kim Kardashian knows that dating her comes with a global spotlight ― and a tough ex-husband.
The Skims founder spoke about how her split with her ex-husband, Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, has impacted her past relationships, including her time with “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson.
“It has definitely affected [dating],” Kim said during an appearance on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” earlier this week.
“You know, there has been situations where, like, I’ll get maybe close to someone, then it’s like, ‘Wait, wait, wait, wait. I don’t really want to deal with your ex and I don’t want to deal that, like, if he’s going to say something,’” she explained.
The reality star added that “it has been, like, a little frustrating, but then I get really ― like, my person wouldn’t care about that.”
Cooper said that she remembered “the Pete music video and everything,” referencing a video that her ex made when Kardashian was dating Davidson from 2021 to 2022.
In the video for the track “Eazy,” Ye kills and buries a claymation figure made to look like Davidson. In the song, he also raps “God saved me from that crash / Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass.”
Kardashian said that moment in particular “made me feel really sad.”
“That really wasn’t fair for him. And I felt so sad and sorry for him,” she said, before explaining that the comedian handled it all so well.
“He was such a great man that was like, ‘I got this, don’t worry, it’s all good.’ Or at least acted that way,” she said, before bluntly stating that “it must suck to just be put in that position.”
The “Bupkis” actor was Kardashian’s last high-profile relationship.
Davidson is currently in a relationship with model Elsie Hewitt, and the two are expecting their first child together.
Though Kardashian has been married three times, she isn’t ruling out tying the knot again.
“There’ll be moods where I’m just like, ‘You know what? I understand my life is really big and I understand it takes a really, really, really special, unique person to want to deal with that,’” she said on James Corden’s podcast last year. “I think my life is really fun and whoever comes in my life will have a really good time, but it’s a lot.”
“I’m not lonely, so I’m good,” Kardashian added. “I have my kids, I have work, I have my family, but it would be nice to share your life with someone.”
