Kim Kardashian says Pete Davidson tried to give her his number when they first connected at the Met Gala, but she couldn't use her phone because of her outfit

• Kim Kardashian said that Pete Davidson gave her advice about hosting "SNL" prior to the episode.
• The two ran into each other at the Met, Kardashian said on the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast.

Kim Kardashian explained what happened when she first met her current boyfriend, Pete Davidson, at the 2021 Met Gala.

On Tuesday's episode of the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast, Kardashian spoke about meeting Davidson at the event, which was held approximately a month prior to her "SNL" episode.

"I saw him at the Met and he knew I was hosting 'SNL,' but it wasn't announced yet," Kardashian said. "He came up to me and we were talking about 'SNL,' and I was like, 'They better hurry up and announce it, because I will not back out as soon as they announce it, but I'm so nervous.'"

Kardashian said that Davidson gave her advice about hosting to ease her nerves, and offered her his number if she needed any help. However, due to her head-to-toe, all-black outfit's gloves, she couldn't use her phone.

"I was like, 'Oh, I have gloves,' and he was like 'alright, cool' and walked away," Kardashian said on the podcast. "But I was gonna be like, 'Oh, take mine!' But it was like, no. So we never connected or anything."

When Kardashian hosted the October 9, 2021 episode of the show, she and Davidson shared an on-stage kiss dressed as Aladdin and Jasmine from "Aladdin" (Davidson later gave her the costumes from the sketch as a Valentine's Day gift, Kardashian recently revealed.)

Kardashian said on the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast that Davidson was the only "SNL" cast member who didn't sign off on being filmed for her family's upcoming Hulu show "The Kardashians," so he wasn't around during rehearsals for the show. They had one dress rehearsal before doing the sketch, Kardashian said, and Davidson didn't attend the afterparty.

The two were first linked in late October and early November 2021, and Davidson referred to her as his girlfriend for the first time in a February interview with "People (The TV Show!)." She later made their relationship Instagram official in a March post. Most recently, Davidson accompanied Kardashian to the premiere of "The Kardashians," although he didn't walk the red carpet with her.
