Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have parted ways and decided to just be friends.

The 28-year-old and the 41-year-old became a couple nine months ago after she made her debut as a host on Saturday Night Live, where he was then a cast member.

However, a source has told DailyMail.com that the couple split this week due to their busy schedules and long distance

.

Pete has spent months filming his upcoming movie "Wizards!"

in Australia, where Kim visited him in July for a romantic getaway to the Daintree Rainforest.

However, their lavish stay at a five-star luxury 'eco' in the jungle was apparently not enough to save the couple's relationship.

News of their split comes a day after a source told People that 'long distance hasn't been easy for Kim' as Pete continued to film abroad.

"They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their busy schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship," a source said.

Kim's split from Pete comes as she is still dealing with the legal details of her divorce from her third husband Kanye West, with whom she has four children - North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, three.

Although Kim originally filed to end the marriage in February 2021, the process is still ongoing, and this week Kanye's fifth divorce attorney to date withdrew from the case.

Kim and Pete first shared a kiss during her appearance on Saturday Night Live last October during an Aladdin-themed sketch.

Soon after, news broke that they had become a real-life couple — months after Kim filed for divorce from Kanye, who last fall was publicly begging her to give their marriage another chance.

Kim joined a long list of Pete's celebrity girlfriends, including Andie MacDowell's daughter Margaret Qualley and Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber, as well as Ariana Grande and Kate Beckinsale.
