At long last when Season 1 of The Kardashians aired this spring viewers were thrilled to finally get an inside look at Pete and Kim s blossoming romance with their relationship serving as a key plotline throughout the series

The comedian didn t actually appear himself although he did make a surprise cameo in the finale episode speaking to Kim off camera in an NSFW post-credits scene

Naturally the tease felt to many fans like a hint that he d be set to have a bigger presence in Season 2 and their suspicions were only bolstered a few days later when an executive producer for the show revealed that Pete had recently taken part in filming

With anticipation at an all-time high it wasn t long before we got a sneak peek at the content in question with Kim and Pete making their onscreen debut as a couple in the trailer for Season 2 which dropped in July

Hulu

Appearing for a split second in a scene that looked to have been shot at the Met Gala in May Pete s physical cameo sent fans into a frenzy with many of us prepping our popcorn months in advance of the Season 2 premiere on Sept 22

But as I m sure you re all aware the excitement was brought to a sudden halt in August when news broke that Kim and Pete had split with numerous sources claiming that their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship

Then less than two weeks later reports started swirling that Pete would barely appear in Season 2 of The Kardashians despite fans high hopes after the trailer

It is important to note that the extent of Pete s involvement in the show had always been unclear and as fans of the Kardashians will know Kim certainly isn t someone to deprive viewers by retroactively cutting content from the final edit

But in spite of this it felt to many like Pete s burgeoning reality TV career might be in jeopardy particularly after there was no mention of him in subsequent trailers or in the season premiere

However this week s installment came through with the content including a low-key — and now kind of awkward — reference to the SNL star

So in a scene that looked to have been shot between January and February this year Kim and Khloé cozied up in Kim s bedroom as they reeled over the trauma of Khloé s recent breakup from Tristan Thompson

As the sisters reflected on the NBA player s most recent cheating scandal Kim was prompted to consider the level of trust in her own relationship telling Khloé she found it easy to trust Pete wholeheartedly

I just do It s a feeling Kim said a subtle glow of pride on her face

Unfortunately watching this exchange eight months down the line feels a little ~uncomfortable~ especially since we re painfully aware of the fact that just a matter of months later things would eventually come crumbling down

To make matters worse reports have emerged in the time since Kim and Pete s split suggesting that — despite the contrary assumptions of many — it may have actually been Pete who pulled the plug on the relationship over the summer

A friend of the comedian s named Johnny Potenza directly refuted reports that the split was mutual instead claiming that Kim s complicated relationship with her ex-husband Kanye West proved to be too much for the Staten Island native

I think Kim had too much baggage for him Johnny said in an interview earlier this month She s 20 years older she has four kids and she was married to Kanye West who was always making trouble for them

Kanye was picking fights and calling him names For a man his age it was childish — a pathetic love drama he added

Johnny went on to say that Pete s hometown acquaintances had their doubts about the relationship from the start claiming Most of the people I know in Staten Island were saying it wouldn t last … They come from two completely different backgrounds

This insight comes after conflicting reports suggesting that the split had been amicable with one insider telling People that their breakup wasn t a sudden decision on either part

They had discussed ending their relationship for a bit a source said soon after the news broke It was a mutual decision Getting back together is not in the cards right now

It goes without saying that until we get confirmation from either Kim or Pete themselves it s hard to tell exactly what might have gone down behind closed doors But with any luck we might finally get some answers before the end of Season 2
