Yes, Martha Stewart is aware of your Pete Davidson dating memes.
The 81-year-old icon recently responded to the viral theory that she and Davidson are Hollywood’s next “It” couple. Tweets suggesting Stewart and Davidson should get together flooded the social media app after news broke that the SNL comedian and Kim Kardashian split after nine months of dating. Considering Davidson’s history of high-profile girlfriends—including Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, and Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor—people were quick to wonder who could possibly come after the world’s most famous reality star.
The answer? Martha Stewart. It also helped that Stewart was pictured holding hands with Davidson the same night he and Kardashian made their red carpet debut at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 30. “We should’ve seen this coming,” Twitter user Gennefer Gross tweeted alongside the pic on August 6, one day after the Kete split was reported. That tweet currently has 44,000 likes.
“Pete Davidson is like the son I never had,” Stewart told the Daily Mail at the grand opening of her Las Vegas restaurant, The Bedford, on August 12. “He is a charming boy who is finding his way. I’ve invited him to come on my podcast and I look forward to hearing what he has to say.”
It was initially reported that Kardashian and Davidson broke up over their busy schedules and long-distance struggles, but a source later told Entertainment Tonight that “the spark” had “faded.”
“They had tons of chemistry, and still do, but she kind of wants to be single and date,” the source continued. “Kim still adores Pete and will always be friends with him. She still thinks he’s the nicest and sweetest guy in the world and there’s no drama or anything weird between them now.”
