Jon Stewart Gushes Over Pete Davidson Amid Kanye Drama: ‘I Just Love That Kid’
Thanks to Kanye West’s persistent efforts to set the record for the messiest divorce in history, Pete Davidson has found himself trapped in a high-profile love triangle—and thus a constant fixture in the celebrity news cycle—for months now.
The Saturday Night Live wunderkind was first romantically linked to Kim Kardashian in October. Since then, the couple has been photographed together dozens of times and coyly referred to each other as “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” in interviews. Davidson even has multiple tattoos referencing Kardashian, including one that says, and this is not a joke, “My girl is a lawyer.” All in all, it seems like a relatively happy relationship—as far as PR-manufactured celebrity romances go.
Except for the Kanye West of it all. Since the split, the 44-year-old rapper has been relentlessly disparaging his ex-wife on social media and in interviews, dragging their four kids into it and all the while issuing fruitless pleas for her to take him back. He has taken his online harassment so far that he was temporarily kicked off Instagram for violating the app’s bullying and hate speech policies. Earlier this week, he was barred from performing at the upcoming Grammy Awards due to the controversy.
