Pete Davidson Hails Ex as “Superhuman” Following Elsie Hewitt Split

Pete Davidson recently spoke warmly about his former girlfriend Kim Kardashian, offering a rare public glimpse into how he views their relationship years after their breakup. During a podcast appearance, Davidson said he was genuinely impressed by Kardashian’s acting talent and recalled how she once told him she wanted to become an actress. He said his response at the time was immediate and supportive, and he emphasized that she turned out to be naturally gifted in the role. According to Davidson, Kardashian’s transition into acting was surprising because she not only pursued the career seriously but also excelled at it.

His remarks were made on “The Pete Davidson Show,” where he talked with guest Nikki Glaser about Kardashian’s growing work in entertainment. Kardashian has continued building her acting résumé with projects including “American Horror Story” and the Hulu legal drama “All’s Fair.” Davidson described her as someone who can succeed in whatever she chooses to do, adding that her confidence and ability to ignore criticism set her apart. He called her “superhuman” and said he learned from her that outside noise should not stop a person from continuing with their life and work. His comments reflected admiration not only for her talent, but also for her resilience in the face of constant public attention.

Glaser also praised Kardashian during the conversation. She said Kardashian was smart, ambitious, and determined, especially in situations where people doubted her. Glaser noted that Kardashian entered acting knowing many people would expect her to fail, yet she still earned respect through her performance and work ethic. She said Kardashian exceeded expectations and was better than many assumed she would be.

Davidson and Kardashian first became linked in October 2021 after she hosted “Saturday Night Live.” Their on-screen kiss during a sketch sparked real-life chemistry, and the two quickly became one of the most closely watched couples in entertainment. They were often photographed together, traveled publicly as a couple, and drew widespread media attention, including at the 2022 Met Gala. Their relationship lasted less than a year, and their breakup became public in August 2022. At the time, sources said conflicting schedules played a major role in the split, with both frequently traveling and struggling to make time for each other.

The renewed attention on Davidson’s remarks comes as he goes through another major personal change. Earlier this month, reports said he and model Elsie Hewitt had broken up after 14 months together. The pair welcomed a daughter, Scottie, in December of last year, making the separation especially significant. Reports indicate they are still adjusting to life after the breakup and are focused on co-parenting. Sources said the two tried to make the relationship work but faced added stress from becoming parents while still getting to know each other. Even so, both are said to be making accommodations in their schedules for their child.

Davidson’s comments about Kardashian suggest that, despite their brief romance and highly publicized breakup, he still holds deep respect for her.
