Kim Kardashian can't get enough of boyfriend Pete Davidson.
On the newly released ninth episode of Hulu's The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder gushes about the comedian, praising him for his thoughtfulness and suggesting that she may be in love with him.
In a clip, Kardashian is seen sitting inside her private plane for the first time with her friends while on her way to the Dominican Republic for her Sports Illustrated cover shoot. Before they take off, a flight attendant hands her a present—Dibs ice cream snacks—which Davidson sent over to surprise her.
"These are my favorite," she told her friends. "We went to the movies in Staten Island, and all I wanted was Dibs. I'm obsessed with Dibs. You can only get them in, like, gas stations these days."
When a friend calls the gesture "sweet," Kardashian jokes, "Is it sweet, or is it, like, being a dick because I have a swimsuit shoot? I shouldn't have eaten that. Thanks, asshole."
Later on, in confessional, Kardashian recalls another time Davidson got her ice cream and, apparently, stole her heart.
"Pete is such a good, good person. I can't even explain it. He just has the best heart and always thinks of the small things," she says. "One time, Pete was like, 'Babe, let's go get some ice cream at Thrifty.' And I was like, 'Oh, my god, you are making me so fucking horny.' Rite-Aid? Thrifty? It was literally one of the best nights of my life."
The couple has gotten more serious since the episode was filmed, and they even made their Met Gala debut this year, with Davidson looking cool in a suit and sunglasses next to Kardashian, who wore Marilyn Monroe's "Happy Birthday Mr. President" dress.
"Pete and I have been dating for a few months. We're doing really, really good," Kardashian says in a confessional. "Pete said, 'I'm gonna grow on you. Just wait.' He knew. He's like, 'I give it four months in and you're gonna be obsessed.' And I was like, 'Okay. We'll see.'"
When a show producer asks Kardashian if she's in love with Davidson, the star replies with a smile, "Um, I don't know if that's any of your business."
Kardashian is still figuring out what her co-parenting relationship with ex-husband Kanye West looks like following their split, and while the two seem to be getting along, there was a point in time when West went after Davidson on social media, voicing his disapproval of him.
Speaking with her friends on the show, Kardashian says she wants a "drama-free life" and relationship.
"There's always headlines and this and this and this. Even if there's things that are inaccurate, it's not like I could get out there and be like, 'Hey, this is wrong. This is wrong. This is wrong. This is what happened,'" Kardashian says. "At the end of the day, that'll just be another story, another thing. I just want it to go away."
She also admits she has tried to keep her romance with Davidson as private as possible because she wants to protect it.
"I never want the person that I'm dating to be subjected to public scrutiny just because we're dating. He knows what he's getting himself into, obviously, but I'm trying to minimize any tabloid drama," she says in a confessional.
