Keeping up with the Kardashians is no easy feat.

There’s always something happening in the busy and chaotic world of the members of the Kardashian-Jenner household.

The busiest of them all is Kim Kardashian, who never seems to catch a break. She takes care of four kids while managing several businesses like the clothing company SKIMS and the new skincare line SKKN.

The business mogul also fulfills brand ambassador duties for Balenciaga and even took Paris Fashion Week by storm with her daughter North West.

But it’s the latest development in her relationship status that everybody seems to be interested in.

End of an Era

Kim and Pete Davidson have been dating for only nine months, but a lot has been revealed and written about the controversial pair.

People are waiting with bated breath for the new season of Hulu’s The Kardashians, which teased Pete’s appearance in the show.

However, it looks like those moments with the SNL alum will just be a distant memory after the season premiere.

News broke out that the couple had called it quits after almost a year of dating. E! News first reported the split, stating that a source claimed it was distance that ultimately caused it.

They said that the pair still has “a lot of love and respect for each other,” but the long distance and their busy schedules “made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.”

Pete has been in Australia, filming his new comedy Wizards! with Orlando Bloom. Kim reportedly visited him on set last month, but it seems that it wasn’t enough for them to keep the relationship going.

Sparks flew when the pair shared an onscreen kiss as Aladdin and Jasmine in a sketch for SNL in October 2021. Kim asked for his phone number after Pete was shut down by Megan Fox when he asked her for Kim’s digits.

Since then, they’ve gotten closer, and the relationship grew stronger. Kim even hinted that she’s hoping for a fourth marriage, while Pete reportedly got Kim’s kids’ initials as a tattoo.

Alas, their whirlwind romance turned out to be just that. But for them, it was fun while it lasted.

Ye Mourns Death of Skete Davidson

So, how did Kanye West react to the breakup?

To no one’s surprise, Ye reacted by being unapologetically himself. He took to Instagram and posted a fake New York Times front page with the headline: “SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28.” No caption was necessary, as it spoke for itself.

Ye has been vocal about his hatred for Pete and his desire to get back together with his ex-wife. It resulted in several vicious online tirades that got him suspended from Instagram.

A source told E! News that the “divorce is moving ahead with Kanye” and that the exes are “happily co-parenting” their four children.

Both Kim and Pete have yet to make official statements regarding the end of their relationship.
