Kim Kardashian reveals regret at rebound relationship with Pete Davidson after Kanye West split

Kim Kardashian has shared her regret over her short-lived romance with Pete Davidson admitting it was a rebound relationship following her split from ex-husband Kanye West.

The SKIMS mogul, 42, and rapper West, 46, separated in January 2021 after six years of marriage and four children together.

Sparks soon flew between the newly-single Kardashian and Davidson after they met while working together on sketch show Saturday Night Live in October 2021.

They were then spotted together on various outings and whispers of a romance began to spread.

The couple finally went Instagram-official in November 2021 to which West was relentless in his campaign of hatred against Davidson.

In addition to numerous attacks on social media, the claymation video for his track Eazy featured a character that resembled Davidson tied up in a body bag then taken out of the trunk of his car where he is decapitated before being buried.

It was later reported that Davidson needed “trauma therapy” after the ordeal.

West also publicly accused Kardashian of keeping him away from his children, which she denied and asked for him to stop harassing her.

“I definitely jumped into another relationship so fast,” Kardashian told sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner on the latest episode of their reality TV series The Kardashians, which airs in the UK on Disney+.

“It got my mind away from, like, stuff, and that’s not a way to, like, run from things,” she reflected.

Adding that “it’s better” to “feel, deal, [and] heal.” Kylie then joked, saying all of them should get matching tattoos of that mantra. The three giggled.
