A joke about an old romance has put Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson back in the headlines. The comedian is looking back on it with humor, while she, according to a source, is still sensitive about the subject. The source also says she has taken a firm stance on how she deals with Davidson, and it is not a “chapter of her life she’s willing to discuss.”
Kim Kardashian ‘draws a firm line’ with Pete Davidson, per source
Pete Davidson, 32, recently spoke about his past with Kim Kardashian, calling himself “one of the survivors — the few and the proud.” He went on to add, “We’re like the Marines.” The comedian also maintained that he still has “a lot of love” for the Skims founder, 45. Davidson also added that Kardashian respected his privacy, but the constant cameras were still too much for him. “I knew what I was getting into,” he said.
Following his remarks on their brief relationship, a source close to Kardashian spoke to In Touch. The source said Kim remains “hyper sensitive” about Davidson. She has reportedly told people she won’t discuss that chapter of her life and “would prefer if they didn’t bring it up.” The source drew a contrast with her marriage to Kanye West. Leaving West brought relief and freedom, the source said. Davidson ending their relationship, by comparison, brought “rejection and devastation.”
According to the source, Davidson knows he hurt Kardashian and feels terrible about it. The source also claimed he is “genuinely happy” that she has moved on with someone else. He would nonetheless “love to build a friendship” with his ex, the source said. Kardashian, however, sees things differently. The source said she has chosen to “draw a firm line under the past” and has essentially banished Pete Davidson from her personal universe. “She wishes him the best,” adds the source, “but doesn’t need his apologies or friendship.”
The source also described how deeply the breakup affected her. It reportedly “crushed her ego” and took a long time to process. The 45-year-old was said to be “madly in love” and convinced they had a future, even if the relationship was short.
