Kim Kardashianā€˜s entire family, including her mom Kris Jenner, 66, are overjoyed about the SKIMS founderā€™s new romance with Pete Davidson, 28. ā€œKris absolutely adores Pete and sheā€™s so thankful he came into Kimā€™s life when he did,ā€ a KarJenner source told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. ā€œKris sees how happy Kim is with Pete so they definitely have Krisā€™s blessing.ā€

The insider also revealed that Kris ā€œhad concernsā€ when Kim, 41, initially split from her husband of seven years, Kanye West, 44, in early 2021 ā€œbecause of all the drama surrounding their divorce and Kanyeā€™s public attacks on her.ā€ The source added that while the family matriarch ā€œwas confident that Kim could handle herself, as a mother, it was heartbreaking to see her daughter going through that.ā€

ā€œThere have been a lot of tears and all Kris wanted was for Kim to find happiness again with someone who treated her with care and respect,ā€  the source said. ā€œShe feels like Pete has Kimā€™s best interest at heart. Heā€™s been such a gentleman and the family couldnā€™t be any happier for them.ā€ A second source close to the Kardashians noted how Kris ā€œwas one of the first family members to spend quality time with Pete,ā€ when they celebrated his 28th birthday in Palm Springs in November, ā€œand she knew even then that there was something special about him.ā€

The source continued, ā€œHe told Kris from day one that he would always keep Kim safe and that he would not ever let anything happen to her when she was with him, and Pete still tells her this. Kris was worried during the whole Kanye saga about Peteā€™s safety, but even then, he told Kris that he will be fine, and his main concern is that Kim is safe.ā€

Moreover, the source says that while Kris ā€œhas seen Kim in relationships before,ā€ The Kardashians starā€™s blossoming romance with the Saturday Night Live comedian ā€œis differentā€ in Krisā€™ eyes. ā€œPete isnā€™t after her for her money or her fame,ā€ the insider shares. ā€œHe would rather have a night in wearing sweatpants and making dinner than being out at a fancy event with her.ā€ We reached out to Krisā€™ rep for comment.

Pete has made a great impression on the Kardashian family. Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian have praised the Staten Island native and how he treats their sister. Peteā€™s even bonded with Kourtneyā€™s ex, Scott Disick, who has stayed close with the family. Caitlyn Jenner also met Pete and called him a ā€œvery nice guyā€ afterwards.

Overall, the only person in Kimā€™s life that is no fan of Peteā€™s is her estranged husband. Kanye attacked the new couple on social media repeatedly, while Kim stayed silent on her end, for the most part. Thankfully, Yeā€™s harassment has stopped and heā€™s reportedly ā€œgetting help,ā€ making room for Kim and Pete to enjoy their romance free of any drama.
