Pete Davidson might be more loved-up with Kim Kardashian than ever - but the Saturday Night Live comedian is leaving his girlfriend to shoot off into space next week on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket.
The 28-year-old comedian will follow in the footsteps of Star Trek actor William Shatner and TV personality Michael Strahan in boarding the 20th flight as part of the New Shepard programme on March 23.
Kim's new beau will board the rocket alongside five paying customers, including executives at Tricor International and a famous 'world explorer'.
It's believed that Pete and billionaire businessman Bezos - who founded Amazon in 1994 - have had many 'preliminary' talks about heading off into outer space together.
Pete and Kim are even believed to have paid a visit to Jeff’s mansion in January, where they reportedly discussed the exciting space trip.
The flight will be the fourth trip in Blue Origin’s New Shepard programme to feature a human crew.
Pete’s plan to travel to space come amid his ongoing feud with Kanye West.
Most recently, Kanye, 44, targeted Pete in a series of angry social media posts after his estranged wife Kim made her romance with the comedian, 28, official on Instagram.
The rapper attempted to throw Pete under the bus by sharing a screenshot of a past joke which didn't go down well with audiences as he seemingly tried to root up the controversy once again.
The Homecoming hitmaker shared a snap of a 2019 Breitbart article headlined ‘Pete Davidson Enrages Audience with Jokes About Having Sex with a Baby.’
Kanye insisted the article was 'yet another reason' why the Saturday Night Live comedian would never see his four children which he shares with Kim.
In a scathing caption, Kanye penned: "Yet another reason why SKETE gotta stay away from my children.
“Oh and nobody noticed that he ain’t show up to SNL Because Mr. I can help you with meds had a mental breakdown after we ran him off the internet.
“SKETE you not built for this I already blacked the Super Bowl out on you Apologize to your family for being in your family,” Kanye added.
In another post, Kanye shared his concerns that Pete will get Kim 'hooked on drugs'.
Kanye captioned the shocking post: “Im really concerned that SKETE will get my kids mom hooked on drugs He’s in rehab every 2 months.”
In recent weeks, Kanye has furiously continued to blast Pete, 28, on Twitter and Instagram.
Pete has been dating Kim since last October, after the pair found immediate chemistry during the SKIMs creator's appearance on Saturday Night Live.
