Kim Kardashian has admitted that she wishes she hadn’t jumped into a romance with Pete Davidson so soon after her marriage ended.
The 42-year-old reality actress and entrepreneur began seeing the 29-year-old comedian in November 2021, almost nine months after filing for divorce from Kanye West, 46.
The couple had been dating for nine months before deciding to discontinue their relationship.
Kim has recently said that she wishes she had waited longer following her divorce from the father of her four children before dating again.
Kim confesses to sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner in an upcoming episode of The Kardashians that she entered into that relationship to get away from her failing marriage.
‘I definitely jumped into another relationship so fast,’ she explained.
‘It got my mind away from like stuff and that’s not a way to like run from things.
‘It’s better to like, deal, heal… that’s a good one. Deal, heal, and then…’, as Kendall finished, ‘Feel’.
Later in the episode Kendall admitted she didn’t know how her older sister managed to ‘handle everything with her ex-husband’.
‘It’s impressive, it’s amazing. I give her so much props but also I admire the strength and the cool and calmness that she has with it, because I could just never. I’d be spiralling,’ she said.
Kim then told her sisters that despite ‘all the horrible things’ Kanye had done, their children ‘had no clue’ and were unaware of any of the turmoil surrounding their father.
As Kylie explained: ‘I think it’s just who we are and how we were raised as a family. We’re all just really forgiving and loving.’
In discussing her children’s relationship with Kanye, Kim stated that they believed their father was “the best and most fantastic” and that he was “so terrific with them.”
‘Why would I take that away from them because I’m angry? I mean, granted, I have a lot to be angry at, but like, they don’t know that.’
Jumping in, Kendall then said it was easy for people to forget how difficult the situation had been for the family.
‘I think people on the Internet too also forget that we’re all like human, just trying to figure everything out. We’re all just having a human experience. The most important thing in this situation is like safety and protection for you and your kids, and I don’t necessarily mean that physically, I mean that like emotionally and mentally and just like, I don’t know, always doing the right thing by you and having that self-respect for you,’ she said.
Kim broke down in tears earlier this month when speaking about Kanye, saying she pondered never speaking to him again after his anti-Semitic statements.
Over the last year, the rapper has stirred controversy with his words, resulting in his being banned from Twitter and Instagram for breaking the social media companies’ rules.
‘It’s really confusing for me. It’s so different than the person that I married, because that’s who I loved and that’s who I remember and that’s who I… you know? I’ll do anything to get that person back,’ Kim explained during an episode of the family’s reality show.
On season 3 premiere of The Kardashians, Kim also admitted she felt ‘a lot of guilt’ after her split from Pete since he ‘went through a lot because of my relationship [with Kanye]’.
The Kardashians airs on Hulu in the US and is available to stream on Disney Plus in the UK.
