Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s breakup is analyzed on social media

Twitter blew up on Friday with jokes about Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian’s romance after it was reported that the pair broke up.

The couple, who met on the set of Saturday Night Live last fall, reportedly broke up because of their hectic schedules forcing them into a long distance relationship.

‘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 told E! News.

Users on the site were not very kind to the couple, with some questioning how they were ever together in the first place. 

‘Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s pathetic pr stunt contract expired,’ wrote one particularly hostile tweeter. 

Another joked that the relationship was an elaborate social experiment writing, ‘Good evening, the relationship between Pete Davidson was a 24 month sociological study conducted by Columbia University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.’ 

Some people on Twitter remarked that they saw this as an inevitable conclusion to the relationship between the 28-year-old comedian and the 41-year-old reality star. 

‘Why am I shocked that Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian broke up, when I knew it wasn’t gonna last [angry red mask emoji].’

‘Astonishing news! Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have officially broke up. More astonishingly: I had a BLT for lunch,’ another wrote. 

Others didn’t even feel the event marked much of an occasion with one writing, ‘Pete Davidson & Kim Kardashian have split up which begs the question who will get custody of the I don’t give a sh*t.’ 

LizaMinnelliOutlives, a satirical account that tweets about things that singer and actress Liza Minnelli lives through, tweeted, ‘Liza Minnelli has outlived the inexplicable relationship of Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian. The two have broken up after 9 months. No word yet on when they will get back together.’ 

Members of the Twitter community pitied Davidson, with one writing, ‘Pete Davidson really got a tattoo of Kim Kardashian and all of her kids just to get left. Mans got c**ked (three crying emojis).’ 

Other fans saw the breakup as a sort of liberation for player Davidson with one tweeting, ‘Hide yo daughters, hide yo wives… Pete is coming for them.’ 

While Kardashian and Davidson were the two stars at the center of the news, it was a more periphery player in their lives that received a ton of mentions. 

Many fans cracked jokes about Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West coming to get her back. The pair were married from 2014 until earlier this year. 

‘Kanye seeing that Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian broke up [laughing emoji],’ one wrote with a screenshot of his song Amazing on Spotify. 

‘Kanye outside Kim Kardashian house after Pete Davidson left her,’ one user wrote alongside a picture of The Regular Show character Rigby holding a boom box above his head, a la John Cusack from Say Anything. 

Another person shared a video with a man standing out in street screaming with the comment, ‘Kanye outside Kim’s house.’
