Kim Kardashian Waited 6 Months To Introduce Pete Davidson To Her Kids

Kim Kardashian didn't want to bring Pete Davidson in to meet her family right away; in fact, she waited half a year before introducing him to her kids: North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3⁠, who she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.

Though the SKKN founder began dating the comedian last fall, she revealed on Tuesday's (June 21) episode of Today, "I definitely wanted to wait six months and that was the marker, and I think it's different for everyone and different things work for different people, but you just have to do what feels right and try to just be as respectful and cautious as possible."

Kim, 41, also consulted with her oldest sister, Kourtney Kardashian, and "a few therapists and friends that have been through it" before making the big introduction. "Luckily," Kim explained, "I have a sister that's been through it all and we talked about it." Kourtney, 43, co-parents three children with her ex Scott Disick.

Kim waited a "good ten months" before she was ready to open herself up, admitting that she never saw her romance with Pete, 28, coming. "I felt like I just wanted new energy and something different," she said. "It definitely took me by surprise."

Recently, a source close to Kim told E! News that the bond between the couple has "become more serious." So much so, that it was a "natural progression" for Pete to start spending time with her children. "She loves that she can trust Pete to take them to do activities on his own," the insider shared. "It takes a lot of stress off of her and their relationship. She thinks it's really cute and is grateful for how seamless it's been. Pete is really good around the kids, and they all love him."

As for her relationship with her children's father, Kim said that she and the kids had a big Father's Day dinner with Kanye and adorably shared, "North cooked. Of course, I wanted to honor and respect the amazing people and fathers in my life that have raised me and are raising my children. So, everything is going good."

Kim Kardashian made a swift departure from The Ellen DeGeneres Show after the host attempted to cure her fear of spiders on Wednesday's (13 April) show. DeGeneres, 64, brought out a plastic animal box, which she told the SKIMS founder contained a live spider.

Kim, 41, has been open about her arachnophobia for a long time, breaking down in tears during a 2007 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians after Kris Jenner spotted a spider on her shoulder while on vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

“You’re not doing this to me, I’m never going to get over it,” Kardashian told DeGeneres as the host showed her the box on the show.

“It’s not loose, it’s not a loose spider,” DeGeneres assured her as Kardashian became visibly distressed, leaving her seat and screaming, “No! No. No. No. We’ve been through this before."

Despite her guest’s distress, DeGeneres lifted the lid off the box, which was actually empty, and pretended to hold the spider before throwing it at Kardashian, who screamed and ran off stage. “It’s not real!” DeGeneres shouted, laughing. While DeGeneres and the live studio audience found the prank highly amusing, fans on social media criticized the talk show host for exploiting Kardashian’s genuine phobia. Kim was over it and said, "Goodbye everyone!" as she made her departure.
