Kim Kardashian does group dates with Pete Davidson so Kanye West won’t ‘spiral’

Kim Kardashian and new flame Pete Davidson have been sticking to group dates for a specific reason, those close to them say.

Kim Kardashian and new flame Pete Davidson have been sticking to group dates in the hope it will keep her ex, Kanye West, from spiralling.

“The group outings are to spare Kanye’s feelings,” an insider told Page Six.

“Kim doesn’t want to do what her sister [Kourtney Kardashian] does with Travis [Barker], the non-stop PDA photos.”

The source continued: “[Kim] thinks hanging out in a group makes it seem more casual. She wants to keep Kanye from being hurt and devastated.”

West has been open about his mental health struggles, including bipolar disorder which he says causes him to be “hyper-paranoid.”

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have been going on group dates in hopes of not upsetting Kanye West.

Over the weekend, Kardashian, 41, and Davidson, 28, went to dinner at Angelina’s Ristorante in Staten Island, New York and saw a movie at a local cinema with Scott Disick, pal Chris Reda and another male.

And that was not the first time they’d hung out in a group setting. The pair’s first date was at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California with several others including Kourtney and her fiance, Barker.

Back in November, Kim and the Saturday Night Live star hung out at Zero Bond with the KKW Beauty founder’s bestie Jonathan Cheban.

The pair has also spent time with Kardashian’s mom, Kris Jenner, and rapper Flavor Flav.

While Kardashian and Davidson prefer to be with a group, it’s not like they haven’t gotten any alone time. On Monday, the comedian was spotted leaving Kim’s NYC hotel after spending the night. A spy later caught her trying to sneak out of his Staten Island condo through a side door.

The duo were also seen walking and giggling in Palm Springs and on a private dinner date in Staten Island last month.

West has been vocal about wanting to get back together with his estranged wife, even though Kim filed for divorce in February and recently submitted paperwork to be declared legally single.

The 44-year-old rapper begged her to “run back” to him during the Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on December 10, and also went on a rant about how God wants him back with her during a charity event on Skid Row.

“If the enemy can separate Kimye, there’s going to be millions of families that feel like that separation is OK,” he said at the time.

“But when God brings Kimye together, there’s going to be millions of families that are going to be influenced to see that they can overcome the work of the separation, of trauma the devil has used to capitalise to keep people in misery while people step over homeless people to go to the Gucci store.”

West — who shares daughters North, 8, and Chicago, 3, and sons Saint, 6, and Psalm, 2, with Kim — was previously spending time with model Vinetria, but they’ve since parted.

A spokesperson for Kardashian did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
