While Kim and Pete have been romantically linked since being seen holding hands in public in October, neither has made any official statement.

On Thursday’s episode of “Honestly with Bari Weiss” podcast, the 41-year-old kept it coy when asked to name her favorite “Saturday Night Live” cast member.

“What a setup. What a setup, Bari," Kim responded to the host, while seemingly alluding to Pete. "You know who it is."

The whispers of the duo being more than friends have escalated ever since the mother of four hosted “SNL” in October. In one sketch, the pair shared a kiss. Off screen, Kim and Pete have been spotted at an amusement park, on multiple dinner dates in NYC, and vacationing in Palm Springs.

Regardless of the nature of their relationship, Pete apparently has the approval of Kim’s mom as the 28-year-old actor attended Kris Jenner’s birthday party last month.

In February, Kim filed for divorce from Kanye West after 7 years of marriage. The exes share North, 8, Saint, 5½, Chicago, 3½, and Psalm, 2.

After being previously engaged to Ariana Grande, Pete has been romantically linked to a bevy of stars including: Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, supermodel Kaia Gerber, and “Bridgerton” actress Phoebe Dynevor.

At least one of Pete’s exes has hinted why many find him so charming.

Earlier this year, Beckinsale liked a repost of a tweet on Instagram that read, “I love how every time Pete Davidson starts dating another beautiful celebrity everyone’s like ‘wtf is happening how did he do this what is this mystery???’ and everybody refuses to entertain the possibility that he might have a nice personality.”
