THE chemistry was off the charts. During Kim Kardashian’s Oct. 9 appearance on Saturday Night Live, the curvy reality star only had eyes for one cast member: series regular Pete Davidson. “She was shy and giggly around him,” a SNL insider tells Star. “Pete was really making her laugh and there was obviously a connection between them.” According to the on-set spy, sparks really got flying at the show’s afterparty. “They spent a lot of time together. At one point, they were looking at their phones and it seemed like Kim was giving Pete her number.”
Things moved quickly from there. On Oct. 29, Kim, 41, and the 27-year-old funnyman — known for dating a string of Hollywood beauties, including Ariana Grande and Kaia Gerber — were spotted holding hands on a roller coaster at Knott’s Scary Farm in L.A. Days later, they hit up Campania restaurant in Pete’s native Staten Island for an intimate dinner and stepped out again at NYC’s Zero Bond Nov. 3. “Kim has known Pete for a while, they share the same group of friends,” reveals a source, who says they reconnected after she filed for divorce from rapper Kanye West in March. “They’ve been in constant contact since SNL. She can’t stop thinking about him and he’s infatuated with her. The romance,” the source adds, “is blossoming.”
