KIM Kardashian has revealed she began texting her boyfriend Pete Davidson long before their Saturday Night Live sketch.
The 41-year-old admitted in the first episode of her Hulu show The Kardashians that she got Pete’s number at the Met Gala in September 2021.
Kim agrees to host SNL in the upcoming premiere of The Kardashians, Page Six revealed.
She decides to text Pete for advice to calm her nerves about the gig after they met and bonded at the Met Gala.
“I ran into Pete Davidson at the Met and I was like, ‘I am so scared. I don’t know what I signed up for,’” she recalls of their conversation.
“And he’s like, ‘Can you read cue cards? You’re good. You’re good.’”

Kim hosted SNL a month later on October 9 and kissed Pete during a sketch in which they starred as Aladdin and Princess Jasmine.
The revelation about Kim and Pete’s relationship timeline will no doubt anger her ex Kanye West.
Since Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021, the rapper has made repeated public pleas to get her back.
He has attacked Pete in nasty posts online and forbid him from meeting their four kids – North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two.
Kim admitted earlier this month that her SNL kiss with Peet was their first ever kiss, adding that he recreated the scene four months later for Valentine’s Day.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she was asked what became of the rug in the Aladdin scene.
“Actually, for Valentine’s Day he got me the rug and the whole outfit and the little genie lamp,” Kim revealed, smiling.
“So I do own the rug!”
Kim previously revealed that Pete does not feature on The Kardashians, but she does discuss their relationship on the show.
“I have not filmed with him, and I’m not opposed to it,” she told Variety.
“It’s just not what he does. But if there was an event happening and he was there, he wouldn’t tell the cameras to get away.
“I think I might film something really exciting coming, but it wouldn’t be for this season,” she added.
Pete and Kim’s romance has been going strong since they began dating in October 2021, with the couple even jetting off on a tropical vacation at the start of the year.
They made their official debut as a couple at The Kardashians’ premiere last week and held hands as they arrived.
However, Pete avoided posing on the red carpet with Kim, who admitted being in front of the cameras is “not his thing”.
She gushed over the King Of Staten Island actor in an ABC News primetime special with Robin Roberts earlier this week as fans count down the days until the famous family hits streaming services.
“I am a relationship kind of girl for sure, and I wouldn’t be with someone if I didn’t plan on spending a lot of my time with them,” she said.
Love-struck Pete has kept his romance with Kim relatively private but has made his fondness for her known with a series of tattoo tributes.

His girlfriend shocked fans when she revealed he has a branding of her name on his skin.
Pete also has three more conventional tattoos in devotion to her, including one that reads: “My girl is a lawyer”.
