Pete Davidson has praised Kim Kardashian’s acting skills, saying he was surprised by how natural she is on screen. Speaking on a recent episode of “The Pete Davidson Show” with Nikki Glaser, Davidson recalled that Kardashian told him during their relationship that she wanted to become an actress. He said he supported the idea immediately and was impressed when she turned out to be “so good” at it. Davidson described her as someone who can do anything she decides to do and said she does not seem to care what public opinion says about her.
Glaser also spoke highly of Kardashian, calling her intelligent and determined. She said Kardashian is the kind of person who pushes forward especially when others doubt her, noting that she entered acting knowing people would likely expect her to fail. Glaser said that taking on a public challenge like acting requires confidence because there will always be people looking for weakness.
Kardashian’s acting career has grown steadily over the past few years. She made her acting debut in 2023 in season 12 of “American Horror Story: Delicate.” In 2025, she landed a starring role in Hulu’s “All’s Fair,” and she is also set to appear in and produce the upcoming Netflix comedy “The Fifth Wheel,” which also includes Glaser in the cast.
Davidson and Kardashian previously dated for nine months, from October 2021 to August 2022, after Kardashian’s divorce from Kanye West. Their relationship drew significant public attention, and Davidson was targeted by rumors and online harassment during that period. A source close to Kardashian later said the two ended things amicably and chose to remain friends, with their busy schedules and long-distance situation making the relationship difficult to maintain.
Since then, Kardashian has continued to stay in the spotlight through her business ventures, acting projects, and personal life. She was briefly linked to NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. before that connection ended in April 2024. In February 2026, reports revealed a secret romance with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, and the two have reportedly remained close since then.
Davidson, meanwhile, has also had changes in his personal life. He dated Elsie Hewitt for a little over a year starting in March 2025, and the relationship ended earlier this month. The former couple welcomed a daughter, Scottie, in December before parting ways.
The comments from Davidson and Glaser add to the ongoing public interest in Kardashian’s move into acting, highlighting both her growing screen career and the support she continues to receive from former friends and collaborators.
