What’s in a name, anyway? While Caitlyn Jenner was looking forward to meeting Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend, Pete Davidson, their first meeting took an unexpected turn after the initial greetings.
“He was over the other day,” the former Olympian, 72, revealed during a Wednesday, April 6, appearance on the “Full Send” podcast, referring to the Saturday Night Live star, 28. “I met him for the first time. I was in trouble because I called him Peter, and Kimmy now starts laughing.”
The 41-year-old Skims mogul told Jenner that the Staten Island native’s name was simply Pete and “not Peter,” despite her claim that she had no idea.
“I said, ‘I don’t know. I’m just trying to be, you know, polite,’ you know?” Jenner recalled of their conversation.
Kardashian and Davidson were originally linked in October 2021, shortly after they reconnected on the set of Saturday Night Live, where she made her hosting debut.
“He seems like a very nice guy but the best part was honestly [that] Kim seemed so happy and that’s my No. 1 concern,” Jenner noted on Wednesday.
The author of Secrets of My Life, who was married to Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, from 1991 to 2014, also spoke about Kanye West’s ongoing co-parenting relationship and divorce. (After nearly seven years of marriage, Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021.)
“I really like Kanye,” the former track star explained on the podcast of the 44-year-old “Heartless” rapper. “Every time we’ve been together he’s been absolutely great, especially during the transition and this and that. … I’m still, today, when I see him, we’re good friends. I just have to be a little careful because you know, he says some things, especially towards the family. Obviously, I’m on the family’s side. I wish him nothing but the best. I’d love to see him again.”
“Right now, Kim and Pete are incredibly in sync, they’re quite on the same page, and their relationship is very simple.” They’re getting closer and closer, and they’re a fantastic couple.”
For his part, Davidson had previously brought the former Dancing With the Stars contestant to his grandparents.
“It was absolutely [the] next step in their relationship,” a second insider exclusively told Us earlier this month. “He’s pleased with getting to introduce his family to Kim.”
During a candid interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts, Kardashian revealed even more details about the couple’s budding romance.
“I am a relationship kind of girl, for sure, and I wouldn’t be with someone if I didn’t plan on spending a lot of my time with them,” the beauty mogul gushed on Wednesday. “Obviously, I want to take my time, but I’m very happy and very content. And it’s such a good feeling just to be at peace.”
