There is no need for the FBI to get to the bottom of this case: Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian appear to only have eyes for each other.

And the former SNL star could not help but appear to happily admire his girlfriend's figure as she walked in front of him just outside the door of a studio in Los Angeles earlier this week. The two shared affectionate looks and held hands as they hung out in the parking lot, where the comedian was also spotted laughing and running around excitedly.

Kim wore a black mesh mini dress and neon green Balenciaga "Knife Shark" thigh-high boots, while Pete, sporting recently dyed platinum hair to match hers, was dressed in a black and white-trimmed bomber jacket bearing the logo of Mac's Club Deuce, a Miami bar, black pants, black and white sneakers and sunglasses.

The photos were taken shortly before the couple jetted off to London for a trip.

Inside Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson's Surprisingly Normal Romance

Pete and Kim have been dating since last fall and have been spotted together at celebrity events and on her social media more often in recent months. In fact, since leaving SNL in May, Pete and Kim have been almost inseparable. While he did not join her at her sister Kourtney Kardashian's wedding to Travis Barker in Italy that month, the SKIMS founder kept her boyfriend close to her heart with a nail design tribute.

On a recent episode of her family's reality show The Kardashians, which was filmed this past winter, she revealed how the two ended up dating after sharing a scripted onscreen kiss during her SNL hosting gig in October.

"A few days later, I called the producer at SNL and I was like "Hey do you have Pete's number?'" Kim recalled. "They were like 'Yeah' and I text him. I wasn't even thinking like 'Oh my god I'm gonna be in a relationship with him.' I was just thinking...I heard about this BDE. I need to get out there. I need to just, like, jump start my...I was just basically DTF."

Dinner Together

Kim Kardashian first crossed paths with Pete Davidson back in January 2019, when she and then-husband Kanye "Ye" West joined the comedian and Timothée Chalamet at a sushi dinner to celebrate Kid Cudi's birthday. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star tweeted several pictures from the get-together and later spoke about it during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

"We went to Nobu and when I got there I realized it was like a guys' dinner," Kim explained in February 2019. "It was just such a fun night. Everyone just had such a good time. The vibe was so good and I didn't want to ruin it so I sat in the corner and just documented it for them."

First Kiss

In October 2021, Kim shared the screen with Pete while hosting Saturday Night Live. During her appearance on the NBC sketch comedy show, the two shared a sweet kiss as Princess Jasmine and Aladdin in a skit parodying Disney's Aladdin.

"A few days later, I called the producer at SNL and I was like "Hey do you have Pete's number?'" Kim recalled on a June 2, 2022 episode of The Kardashians. "They were like 'Yeah' and I text him. I wasn't even thinking like 'Oh my god I'm gonna be in a relationship with him.' I was just thinking...I heard about this BDE. I need to get out there. I need to just, like, jump start my...I was just basically DTF."

Officially Dating

Shortly after they were spotted holding hands while visiting Knott's Scary Farm in California in late October 2021, a source close to Kim told E! News that the pair had started "casually dating," sharing that Pete "told her he doesn't want to see anyone else."

"Kim is smitten over him and it's very exciting to her," the source said, adding that the SKIMS mogul "is completely enthralled" by the comedian.
