During a recent episode of “The Pete Davidson Show,” the comedian reflected on Kardashian’s growing acting career and admitted he was impressed by how naturally she stepped into the field.

Davidson recalled a conversation from their relationship when Kardashian first expressed an interest in acting.

“Isn’t it crazy Kim’s good at acting?” Davidson asked guest Nikki Glaser, per the Daily Mail. He then remembered Kardashian telling him, “I think I’m gonna be an actress.”

His reaction at the time was immediate. He said, “F-ck yeah.”

Since then, Kardashian has built a growing acting résumé with appearances in projects such as “American Horror Story” and the Hulu legal drama “All’s Fair.”

Watching her transition into the profession left Davidson stunned. He shared, “And then she’s just good at it, and I was like, ‘God, get the f-ck out of here.’ She’s so good at acting.”

The comments offered a rare glimpse into how Davidson views his former girlfriend years after their breakup.

Pete Davidson was not the only person singing Kardashian’s praises during the conversation.

Glaser, who stars alongside Kardashian in the upcoming Netflix film “The Fifth Wheel,” spoke enthusiastically about working with the SKIMS founder and witnessing her dedication firsthand.

“She’s amazing. She’s so smart. She does anything she wants to do. Especially if people are like, ‘You can’t do this,’” Glaser said.

She also pointed out the challenges Kardashian faced entering an industry where many critics doubted her abilities from the start.

Glaser noted, “And for her to go into acting with all the public perception of her anyway, she knew she was gonna – everyone was gonna look for her to fail.”

Despite those expectations, Glaser came away impressed.

She said, “I already liked her, and she was just better than that,” she said after noting that Kardashian had “exceeded my expectations.”

As the discussion continued, Davidson revealed what he believes sets Kardashian apart from many other celebrities.

The comedian described her ability to keep moving forward despite endless headlines and public attention.

“She’s superhuman,” Davidson said.

He also explained that one of the most valuable lessons he learned from Kardashian involved handling criticism and outside noise.

“I learned from her that no matter what’s going on, like whatever in the news, you’re still you, and you can just still go do sh-t,” he shared.

For someone who has spent much of his adult life under the spotlight himself, Davidson appeared to admire Kardashian’s resilience and ability to stay focused regardless of public opinion.

His comments also offered a noticeably positive perspective on a relationship that generated enormous media attention during its brief run.

Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian first connected in October 2021 when she hosted “Saturday Night Live.” Sparks flew after the pair shared an on-screen kiss while portraying Disney characters during a sketch.

Soon after, they became one of entertainment’s most talked-about couples.

Over the following months, they traveled together, made public appearances, and generated constant media coverage. One of their most memorable outings came at the 2022 Met Gala, where they appeared together on fashion’s biggest night.

Despite the attention surrounding the romance, the relationship lasted less than a year.

Their split became public in August 2022. At the time, a source explained to PEOPLE that scheduling challenges played a major role in the breakup.

They revealed, “Part of the reason they split was because of their busy schedules. They both travel all the time and it was hard.”

Although the relationship ended, Davidson’s latest remarks suggest there is still plenty of respect between the former couple.

The timing of Davidson’s comments has drawn additional attention because of developments in his own life.

Earlier this month, reports surfaced that he and model Elsie Hewitt had ended their relationship after 14 months together. The pair welcomed daughter Scottie in December of last year, making the breakup particularly significant.

According to a source who spoke with Us Weekly, the former couple is still navigating life after the separation.

The insider said they are “still sorting things out” following the split.

The source added that they “tried to make it work but there were different stressors, including having a baby together as two people who didn’t yet know each other that well.”

Even so, both are reportedly committed to co-parenting.

“They are both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby,” the insider explained.

However, the source also indicated that reconciliation appears unlikely, saying it is “very unlikely” that Davidson and Hewitt will reunite romantically.

While Davidson adjusts to this new chapter, his recent comments about Kardashian show that some past relationships continue to leave a lasting impression long after they end.
