In the wake of Kim, 41, and Pete’s split, fans theorized the ex Saturday Night Live funnyman has linked with the lifestyle mogul after a photo of the two holding each other’s hand resurfaced.
Martha, 81, responded to the speculation when the DailyMail caught up with her in Las Vegas as she readied for the opening of her new restaurant, the Bedford.
According to the news outlet, when asked about the possible relationship with the comedian the longtime TV personality replied, “Pete Davidson is like the son I never had.”
She continued: “He is a charming boy who is finding his way.”
Martha later hinted at a possible reunion, explaining “I’ve invited him to come on my podcast and I look forward to hearing what he has to say.”
Speculation began after fan account @_theblessedone took to Instagram on Sunday to share a photo of the comic, SKIMS founder Kim, and Martha from the White House Correspondents Association dinner.
In the image, the retail businesswoman grabbed tightly onto Pete’s right hand as the three smiled for the camera.
The original user captioned the post: “We should’ve seen this coming.”
Others raced to the comments as they laughed at the possibility of Pete and Martha dating.
“He securing that retiring fund!” one commenter joked.
As second person sneered: “Martha would be a serious upgrade.”
“She called him ‘homely’ and ‘adorable.’ I used to think her taste was impeccable,” one person claimed.
“He is making s**t happen,” a final commenter added.
THE BREAKUP
The new theory comes just days after it was revealed that Pete and Kim have split following nine months of dating.
The Kardashians star and King of Staten Island actor have broken up, and decided to just be friends, E! News reported.
A source said: “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.”
An insider later claimed Kim broke up with Pete because she was “totally exhausted” by his “immaturity” and their 13-year age gap.
Pete has been spending part of the summer in Australia working on his new movie, David Michôd’s comedy Wizards!
KEEPING UP WITH KANYE
Their breakup came amid rampant rumors that Kim and Kanye West have reconciled.
The rapper added to the speculation on Monday when he savagely claimed Pete is dead in a cruel Instagram prank.
The father-of-four, 45, shared a screenshot of a fake newspaper front page with the headline “SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28.”
The photo was a mock-up of The New York Times and was dated Monday, 8 August 2022.
Kanye , 45, has been using the nickname “SKETE” for Pete for months.
The musician repeatedly targeted Pete on social media after he began dating Kim in October.
He called Pete a “d**khead”, threatened to “beat his a**” and accused the star of trying to “destroy” his family in various rants.
Kim and Kanye have four kids together: North, nine; Saint, six,; Chicago, four; and Psalm, three.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum filed for divorce from the rapper in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage.
