What Happened?
Since their relationship became known by the public, they were the media's favorite for almost one year. Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian seemed completely enamored and like they couldn't get enough of each other.
But a few days ago, the news took the world by storm: they just broke up. But why? Was Pete just a rebound, or was it deeper than that? How is each of them handling it now? Is any of them dating someone new?
“Very Sad”
Pete and Kim's breakup has hit many people like a ton of bricks, from the people who loved their dynamic together to each other's individual fans.
It seems like the two former lovers are going through a rough time as well. Sources have declared that Kim is "very sad" and that it "has been hard" for her. However, recent information hints that Pete is the one having a harder time coming to terms with the end of his romance with Kim.
Trauma Therapy
Apparently, Davidson is undergoing trauma therapy following the breakup. This could be a sign that the relationship meant way more for him than what it might have meant for Kim.
However, some sources suggest that there is another reason why Pete would need to recover from trauma. The man behind it would be someone whose name has been, for better or worse, constantly associated with the couple during the last months.
Kanye
Allegedly, the real reason why Pete Davidson is currently undergoing trauma therapy is Kanye West's constant intrusion into his relationship with Kim.
We all know about Kanye's recurrent Instagram posts targeting Pete. He has even threatened him in the lyrics of a recent song featuring The Game. Kanye's obsessive behavior could be rightfully considered harassment, and it's not surprising that it has affected Pete. But how serious is it?
Pretty Serious
"Pete is trying to make out like he finds Kanye's pranks hilarious, but nobody really believes him," an insider told the media some time ago. "He actually feels sorry for the guy, but at the same time, he just wishes he could be left alone."
Understandably, Kanye's behavior has been a source of stress for Pete. But it seems like there might be a further reason for why he's undergoing trauma therapy at the moment.
Gutted
It seems like Davidson is truly gutted by the end of his relationship with Kim. But apparently, neither he nor the fashion mogul have been taken by surprise. It was something that both of them could see coming.
"Pete knew it wasn't going to work," an insider told the media recently. "He'd been saying it for a while. And Kim knew it, too." And this leads us to the real big question about the story.
What Was The Problem?
Why were they anticipating the breakup? Why has it been so sudden, especially considering how smitten with each other the two seemed to be over the last few months?
Maybe Pete and Kim knew what was going to happen. But for the rest of the world, the news have taken many people by surprise. Many suggest that there might be one particular event that served as a catalyst for the breakup and shattered their relationship into pieces.
A Trip To Australia
Apparently, the crux of the question would be Kim's recent trip to Australia. Recently, just a few days before their breakup, she traveled there to visit Pete while he had some days off from filming Wizards.
It seems like something happened during Kim's days in Australia, or there was something she saw there, that might be crucial in order to understand the couple's breakup. But what was it?
No Pictures
One thing is known for sure: Kim didn't post any pictures or videos of her trip to Australia on her social media. And apparently, that's not all.
During the whole trip, the couple was extremely secretive. This contrasts heavily with their previous behavior and their tendency to go viral every chance they got. Reading about how they acted during their time in Australia, one could just feel that there was already something wrong.
Were They Hiding Something?
"This is the 1% of the time she doesn't want to have to worry about getting glammed up and just wants to switch off," an anonymous insider told the media. "She's just here to spend time with Pete and has no plans on leaving the hotel. It's a very low-key trip, and she doesn't want to be bothered."
"Kim is happy to say 'hi' to you if you bump into her, but she definitely doesn't want to get her photograph taken on this trip." And apparently, that's not all.
Secrecy
The hotel staff members were also ordered not to ask Pete or Kim for selfies, and not to post anything to their social media accounts.
Every time Kim left the hotel, she used decoy cars to avoid being seen. She would also enter and exit through the hotel's back door, not accessible to resort guests. But why all the secrecy? What was going on? What were they trying to hide?
Problems In Paradise
Some say that this secrecy and search for clandestinity may have been a sign of problems in paradise, especially considering the couple's previous behavior regarding the media and attention from the public.
Others suggest that the trip may have been a last-ditch effort to save a relationship that was already on its way out. But what were the real reasons for the breakup?
Immaturity
Apparently, one of the most important reasons may have been Pete's "immaturity and young age", according to an insider. "Pete is 28 and Kim is 41 — they are just in very different places at the moment," the source adds.
"Pete is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment's notice. But Kim has four kids, and it isn't that easy. She needs to focus on the kids." But it seems like that's not all there is to it.
Maybe It Wasn’t Meant To Last
Some may think that there are reasons to believe that Kim was never that serious about Pete in the first place. Admittedly, she didn't seriously entertain the possibility of a real relationship when they first met.
"I wasn't even thinking, 'Oh my god, I'm gonna be in a relationship with him.' I was just thinking like, 'heard about this BDE, need to get out there.' I was just basically DTF." So is that it? Was Davidson just a rebound meant to be a fun time, not a long time?
“Super Bummed”
If that is so, it seems like it might have taken him off guard. "Pete is still super bummed, though, about the breakup," says an insider. "They really hit it off and had a ton of fun together, but it feels like it ran its course."Reconciliation doesn't seem very likely. "It was an amicable split. They had discussed ending their relationship for a bit. It wasn't sudden," explains the source. "And it was a mutual decision. Getting back together is not in the cards right now."
