Pete Davidson Raves About Ex Kim Kardashian as “Superhuman”

Nearly four years after their split, Pete Davidson has nothing but awe for Kim Kardashian. The comedian called his ex “superhuman” while praising her unexpected pivot into acting.

During the May 29 episode of The Pete Davidson Show on Netflix, the former Saturday Night Live star opened up while interviewing comedian Nikki Glaser, who happens to be Kardashian’s co-star in the upcoming film Fifth Wheel.

Davidson specifically highlighted the Kim Kardashian acting career as something that genuinely shocked him. He recalled a conversation from when they were dating in 2022. “I remember one day she was just like, ‘I think I’m gonna be an actress,'” he shared. “And I was like, ‘F— yeah.’ And then she’s just good at it.”

He added with disbelief, “God, get the f— out of here. She’s so good at acting.”

Beyond her craft, Davidson praised Kardashian’s unshakable resilience. “She’s superhuman,” he said. “I learned from her that no matter what’s going on, like whatever in the news, you’re still you, and you can just still go do s—.”

The Pete Davidson Kim Kardashian superhuman compliment marks one of the few times either has publicly addressed their former relationship. The two dated for nine months in 2021–2022 before calling it quits. Davidson has since welcomed daughter Scottie, now five months old, with model Elsie Hewitt.

Kardashian, 45, has quietly built her acting résumé, appearing in American Horror Story: Delicate and now co-starring with Glaser in Fifth Wheel. Davidson’s unprompted praise suggests the mutual respect outlasted the romance.

“He’s not wrong,” Glaser responded on the show. “She’s terrifyingly good at everything.”
