Martha Stewart is crushing a rather silly rumor that she and Pete Davidson may have sparked a romance after his breakup with Kim Kardashian.
“Pete Davidson is like the son I never had,” Stewart, 81, told The Daily Mail when asked if she could be his next lover.
“He is a charming boy who finds his way. I invited him to be on my podcast and I look forward to hearing what he has to say.”
The internet gossip started after a photo of Stewart affectionately holding Davidson’s hand as she posed for a photo with him and Kardashian, 41, at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in April after the breakup of Pete and Kim.
“We should have seen this coming” wrote one Twitter user who shared the snap in question.
Stewart previously shared her support for the couple, telling E! News in May that the star of “Saturday Night Live” and the founder of Skims were “cute together” despite being an “unlikely combination”.
“They seem to have a nice affection for each other, which is so nice,” she added at the time.
An insider confirmed Davidson and Kardashian’s breakup with Vidak For Congress, claiming that the pair fully intend to remain friends.
“They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship,” a source shared.
Days later, Kardashian’s ex Kanye West taunted Davidson with a fake New York Times front page on Instagram that stated, “SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28.”
The move reportedly made Kim “mad”, causing West to knock the post down.
