Pete Davidson's "Saturday Night Live" co-stars seem to be fully supporting his budding romance with Kim Kardashian.

Bowen Yang, Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd were all grilled on Davidson's relationship with the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" alum by People during the American Museum of Natural History's 2021 Museum Gala in New York City Thursday.

"I mean, you've got to be happy for love, I guess. If it's love! They look like they're having a good time," said Thompson, who called Davidson, 28, his "little brother" and added, "I'm always happy when he's happy."

Yang appeared to be rooting for the pair as well, telling the outlet, "I don't know what the nature of the friendship is, but it seems like they're having a good time hanging out."

Redd, meanwhile, noted that Davidson and Kardashian's blossoming romance appears to be heading in a good direction based on their recent photos.

"Pete and Kim? Damn, Pete. Damn!" he said. "I hope they're happy. They're wearing matching outfits so I think they're on their way. [At least] that's what Instagram told me."

Kardashian, 41, made her hosting debut on "SNL" last month, and in one sketch, she and Davidson shared an onscreen kiss while playing Disney couple Jasmine and Aladdin. They first sparked romance rumors in late October after they were photographed holding hands on a rollercoaster at Knott's Scary Farm in Buena Park, California.

Days later, Davidson took the Skims founder out for a private dinner in his native Staten Island in New York City. The following night, the two were seen separately heading into private club Zero Bond in Manhattan.

Last week, Kardashian and Davidson were spotted holding hands in Palm Springs, California. The two were in Palm Springs to celebrate his 28th birthday, which was on Tuesday.

The pair was joined by her mom, Kris Jenner, and Public Enemy hype man Flavor Flav. The latter shared photos from Davidson's birthday celebration on Instagram in which Jenner, Davidson and Kardashian can be seen wearing matching outfits.

Kardashian and Davidson reportedly "had a great time" celebrating together, an unnamed source told People.

"Pete is back in N.Y.C. now, but Kim had a great time with him in Palm Springs," the insider added. "They were very affectionate and seem more serious. He's very sweet to Kim. She's smitten."

Another source told the outlet that the two keep in touch even if they are on different coasts. Also, they are reportedly "getting to know each other better and getting along great."

"Kim loves his spark. He is very funny, entertaining and makes Kim happy. They are still dating and enjoying it. He showers Kim with compliments and she loves it," the tipster said.

Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West in February after almost seven years of marriage. The exes share North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2.

Earlier this month, West said on the "Drink Champs" podcast that he doesn't want to end his relationship with Kardashian and claimed that he never saw the divorce papers. "My kids want their parents to stay together. I want us to be together," the rapper said.

However, an insider claimed to Page Six that West has been "hooking up for a while now" with 22-year-old signed model and Instagram influencer Vinetria. They were seen together earlier this month at Donda Academy’s debut basketball game in Minneapolis.
