The real reason Pete Davidson wasn’t seen on The Kardashians

"He was the one cast member who wouldn’t sign off." - by Erin Christie
  • 23 Jun 2022

Unlikely power couple Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson took the world by surprise when they began a relationship last year, but ever since then we’ve only wanted to see more of them.

We wondered if Pete would appear on the new season of The Kardashians, given that it was filming while Kim and Pete were falling in love. Unfortunately, all we got was a behind-camera cameo at the very end, leaving us to wonder why Pete didn’t want to be on the show.

It seems Pete wasn’t keen on the show from the very beginning, with Kim revealing that he didn’t sign off on being filmed for The Kardashians as the show went backstage the week Kim hosted Saturday Night Live.

“We were filming our show, he was the one cast member who wouldn’t sign off, and he wasn’t there until just the day of,” Kim said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.

Their relationship developed as filming of the show progressed, and the audience got to see Kim texting Pete, and lovingly talking about him with her family.

He was finally heard behind the camera in a post-credit scene in the final episode, where Kim introduced him to one of the members of the film crew.

“Pete, come here, you have to meet Paxy,” she calls behind to him.

“She knows everything about me, she’s probably seen my vagina,” Kim joked.

“More than me?” Pete asked while Kim smiled.

So, will we be seeing Pete on screen come season two? We think it’s unlikely.

While his relationship with Kim is quite public, Pete himself seems like quite a private person. He doesn’t have any social media, and is very focused on his work in acting and comedy.

Executive Producer on The Kardashians, Danielle King, has also said that the choice is up to Pete.

“The show is about our core cast, it’s about the family so if there are significant others, it’s really up to them,” she told Deadline.

Fingers crossed we spot Pete on screen soon!

“Kim never tried to persuade Pete (to be on the show). It’s always up to the significant other or the peripheral person that they’re dealing with.

“Pete’s a high-profile person, he’s an actor; like Kim has said before; when the cameras are rolling for him, it means performance time. When the cameras are rolling for him, it means performance time. When the cameras are rolling for this family, it’s time to get real. It’s a different muscle that they worked, and he worked,” she said.

While Kourtney’s new partner, Travis Barker, has been happy to be a part of the show alongside Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie’s partner Travis Scott and Kendall’s then-boyfriend Devin Booker did not appear on the new show.

But still, we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that Pete might show up soon!
