Fans are going wild on social media over the potential new couple

Fans have been discussing if they think Davidson and Kardashian West are dating or just friends and whether or not they are spending time together for publicity. 

People tweeted a photo of the two stars holding hands, and the comments show what fans think of the potential couple.

One Twitter user praised Davidson by writing, “Not sure why everyone is so surprised by them being friends. Pete has some qualities that most women like. #1 being funny, soh goes a long way! He’s not ugly, sensitive & probably is blessed down below. Just a guess!”

Another said, “Can we get another post dedicated to this guys game? How did he do that? I’m reminded of Blake Lively getting Leo to play photographer then ghosting him for Ryan. How does Pete get all these girls?!?”

One fan speculated that the relationship is a PR move by commenting, “Kim trying to switch up her entire brand after seeing how much people love Kourtney + Travis and Megan + MGK.”

And another fan said, “Wow. She’s really trying to find a Travis Barker of her own after seeing Kourtney’s happiness. Pete Davidson is not that guy. But enjoy for a couple weeks like everyone else.”
