The 29-year-old famously kissed the Kardashians star, 42, during a sketch on SNL in 2021, before they embarked on a nine-month relationship.
The comic left the series last year but was announced to be returning to the fold – and taking over hosting duties – on May 6.
According to reports, he has decided to steer clear of any jabs over their romance during his time on the show, and will be a ‘good sport’.
‘He’s being a gentleman,’ an insider told Page Six, claiming that the couple agreed to ‘drop everything’ and ‘move on’ when they went their separate ways last year.
‘That’s why she’s not mentioned in his stand-up.’
However, another source has suggested that this could change in the lead up to his return.
‘Nothing has been written yet, but know with Pete nothing is off the table,’ they added.
Pete first started dating Kim after her own hosting efforts on SNL, at the end of 2021 – but they called time on their romance last August.
His dating history has made more than a few headlines over the years, as he has also enjoyed high-profile relationships with Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dyvenor and Kate Beckinsale.
The Bupkis star was recently linked to Emily Ratajkowski, before appearing to be smitten with his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star, Chase Sui Wonders.
In a candid recent interview with Jon Bernthal on the Real Ones, Pete addressed the public interest in his love life.
‘I think what happened was, I became more known before the work was there. But I was always working. Look, I’m in my 20s and I’ve dated people and for some reason that is very crazy and interesting to people,’ he said.
‘I don’t think it’s that interesting. I’ve been in showbusiness for half my life almost, for like 14, 15 years, and on a national TV show.
‘And in 12 years, I’ve dated like, 10 people, I don’t really think that’s that crazy.
‘But to some people, it seems very interesting.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted Pete’s reps for a comment.
