On the latest episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian traveled to Orlando, Florida to visit the Ripley’s Believe It or Not headquarters to try on Marilyn Monroe’s dress from 1962, which she hopes to wear to the 2022 Met Gala. But one person that tagged along with her was her ex, Pete Davidson, who never ended up getting screen time in the episode.
Pete Davidson joined his then-girlfriend in Orlando days before the Met Ball, which they attended together. The comedian was shown in a clip that previously surfaced in May, but his presence wasn’t shown in the episode that aired on Nov. 9. There’s a brief glimpse of the former SNL star in the background, but only from the shoulders, down, wearing a a red flannel, black pants, and white sneakers while women in white gloves are trying to help Kardashian shimmy into the historic dress.
While fans were excited to see more of Kardashian and Davidson together in the show’s second season, the comedian will hardly be on the show after all, despite what the trailers had us believe.
Ahead of the second season of the Hulu reality TV series, a trailer dropped in which Kardashian references Davidson twice: First, she cites her new relationship, saying, “I have a new boyfriend, and I am just having a really good time.” Then, Kardashian speaks directly to Davidson, inviting him to take a shower with her and calling him “Babe.” He responds by dropping everything he’s doing and walking into the bathroom behind her as sister Khloé Kardashian looks shocked. Naturally, fans assumed Davidson would be featured more in the show this season than the last.
But according to a source who spoke with Page Six, in the upcoming season, Davidson is “in the background,” but he doesn’t take more of a role as, “the reality world is not built for people like Pete.” The source described Davidson as “a very private person” and acknowledged that during their relationship, Kardashian “was always super respectful of that.”
“He was not on the first season. I don’t know how they’re doing the second season, but he’s not a part of that world,” they added.
