KEY POINTS

  • Kim Kardashian praised her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson on Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians"
  • She said the "SNL" alum has "the best heart" and is the "most thoughtful" person she knows
  • The episode aired Thursday but was filmed in February when Kardashian and Davidson were still together

Kim Kardashian opened up about her now-ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson's charm in the most recent episode of Hulu's "The Kardashians."

On Thursday's episode, the 41-year-old Skims founder, who dated Davidson for nine months before they called it quits, shared her theory on why many "hot girls" have fallen for the 28-year-old "Saturday Night Live" alum.

"Pete has the best heart," Kardashian said, according to Fox News. "I feel like people, they have this, like, idea of him that he dates all these hot girls — and he does. But he's just the sweetest, most thoughtful person."

In the episode, Kardashian was shopping for Davidson in Milan, Italy, with her closest friends Tracy Romulus, celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton and longtime makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic. The episode was filmed in February during Milan Fashion Week, when she and the comedian were still together.

"I'm here in Milan and thinking about him, so just want to pick up just, like, a little thoughtful gift," Kardashian said. "I don't think he's like an Air Force 1 kind of guy."

During the outing, she decided to buy her Staten Island-born beau a pair of New York Yankees baseball caps.

Kardashian and Davidson started dating in October last year after she made her hosting debut on "Saturday Night Live." But they broke up in August, with reports citing the long distance and their busy schedules as the reason for their split.

"Kim and Pete have decided to just be friends," an unnamed source close to Kardashian told Page Six at the time. "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."

Their age difference reportedly also contributed to the breakup. A second source told Page Six that Davidson and Kardashian, who is 13 years his senior, were "just in very different places at the moment."

"Pete is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment's notice," the insider told the outlet. "But Kim has four kids, and it isn't that easy. She needs to focus on the kids."

Kardashian shares four children with ex Kanye West — North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3.

Prior to his relationship with Kardashian, Davidson dated or was linked to "Girl Code" alum Carly Aquilino, Larry David's daughter Cazzie David, Ariana Grande, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor and Kate Beckinsale.

As he appears to be single at the moment, fans jokingly linked the comedian to supermodel Gisele Bundchen amid reports of her marital woes with her NFL superstar husband Tom Brady.

"How long until Gisele starts dating Pete Davidson?" one Twitter user joked.

"I give it 6 days before Gisele is spotted with Pete Davidson," tweeted Mikey McNuggets, head producer at "Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show."
