Kardashian and Davidson's first public appearance together was back in October 2021 when she hosted "Saturday Night Live." Romance rumours sparked almost immediately after the two shared a kiss during an "Aladdin"-themed skit where Kardashian played Princess Jasmine and Davidson was Aladdin. During the sketch, the two held hands and playfully flirted with one another as they performed their lines.
Their onscreen chemistry was real, at least according to a source who told Us Weekly at the time, "He was a true professional the whole time they rehearsed and in between takes, but afterward things got flirty. They exchanged numbers and Pete asked if Kim would like to hang out sometime, which she agreed to straight away."
