Martha Stewart called Pete Davidson “charming” but denied the rumors about her being the reason the “Saturday Night Live” star and Kim Kardashian called it quits.
The 81-year-old TV personality/actress said she would love to speak to Davidson, 28, on her podcast but shut down the idea the two were romantically involved after a photo of the two holding hands at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner resurfaced and went viral, the Daily Mail noted in a recent article.
“He is a charming boy who is finding his way,” Stewart told the outlet. “I’ve invited him to come on my podcast and I look forward to hearing what he has to say.”
The photo in question reappeared online after reports surfaced “The Kardashians” star and Davidson had broken up, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

In the shot, Davidson and Stewart are holding hands in a friendly gesture as the “SNL” star posed standing next to Kardashian in April, the Daily Mail noted.
Sources close to Kardashian recently told Page Six that the two have “decided to just be friends.”
“Kim and Pete have decided to just be friends,” an insider close to Kardashian explained. “They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.”
In November 2021, reports started surfacing that the pair were dating following Kim’s divorce from 45-year-old rapper Kanye West earlier that year, E! News noted.
At the time, sources told the outlet, “Pete has told her he doesn’t want to see anyone else.”
“She is telling some people they aren’t super serious but she isn’t seeing anyone else … She’s trying to not make a big deal about it but is super into him,” the insider added.
Despite all reports, the reality star and Davidson didn’t make things official that they were dating until March.
Kim and Kanye divorced in 2021 following nearly seven years of marriage. She and West share four children together.
