Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson â€“ who split in August after eight months of dating â€“ have reportedly been texting each other.

According to a source who spoke to HollywoodLife, whilst a reconciliation between the former couple is not on the cards, Pete has been offering his support to Kim who is dealing with a public coparenting battle with ex-husband, Kanye West.

“A lot of people have been reaching out to offer Kim support, including Pete [Davidson],” the insider claimed. “He’s in the middle of shooting another movie but he’s been in touch. He’s such a sweet guy and Kim’s grateful they can still be friends.”

The source went on: “Pete and Kim still talk on occasion and several weeks after the break up, they had gotten to a place of being cordial with each other. Pete has texted Kim a few times about the whole Kanye situation because he still cares about her as a person and wanted to check in to see how she was doing.”

Kanye – who legally changed his name to Ye last year – has come under fire recently, most notably for wearing a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt and later sharing Antisemitic comments on social media.

The rapper has also been called out by the Kardashian family, who accuse him of unnecessarily sharing details of his and Kim’s coparenting situation. The former couple, who were married for six years, share four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

“Despite the split, Pete has let Kim know that he’ll always be there for her as a friend if she needs to vent or talk about anything,” the insider added. “Kim told Pete how much she appreciates that and also appreciates how he’s handled all of this. Kim explained to him that she knows it can be a lot for anybody to deal with and is grateful she’s been able to remain amicable with Pete.”
