Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson break up after 9 months of dating

• Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have ended their relationship.
• Insider can confirm the pair's breakup was amicable.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have called it quits.

E! News reports that the couple, who had been dating for nine months, broke up earlier this week.

Insider was able to independently confirm that the pair ended their relationship amicably.

According to E!, the two found "it really difficult to maintain a relationship" due to their busy schedules and long-distance relationship.

Davidson is currently in Australia filming an upcoming movie, "Wizards!", also starring Orlando Bloom and Naomi Scott.

Kardashian, 41, and Davidson, 28, reportedly began dating late 2021, but have known each other for years.

The two first shared a "stage kiss" when Kardashian hosted "Saturday Night Live" in October 2021 and the two appeared together in a parody of Disney's "Aladdin."

Davidson later got a "Jasmine and Aladdin" tattoo commemorating their first kiss, one of a few tats the comedian got as a tribute to the Skims co-founder. Additionally, Davidson admitted to getting Kardashian's name branded, not inked, on his chest because, according to Kardashian, he didn't want "to be able to get rid of it or to cover it up."

After the "SNL" appearance, the duo were spotted holding hands at Knott's Berry Farm in California later that month, though sources maintained to People magazine that the two were just friends.

In early November, Davidson took Kardashian out to a private Italian dinner in Staten Island. It was the first of a string of dates and outings between the two that month.

After renting out a theater to see "Spider-Man: No Way Home" together in December 2021, the two spent the New Year together with a trip to the Bahamas.

Davidson finally referred to Kardashian as his girlfriend publicly in February 2022 for the first time.

In April 2022, Kardashian told "Good Morning America's" Robin Roberts she was "very happy" and "at peace" in her relationship with "The King of Staten Island" star.

Davidson is expected to make an appearance on Hulu's second season of "The Kardashians," which will debut on the streamer this fall. A recent trailer teased Kardashian asking Davidson to shower with her.

Insider has reached out to reps for both Kardashian and Davidson.
