Martha Stewart is having fun with her 1.6 million followers on Instagram as she crushes on SNL star Pete Davidson–who has been dating Kim Kardashian since November 2021 following her divorce from rapper Ye earlier in the same year.
Stewart recently attended the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at which The Daily Show's Trevor Noah served as master of ceremonies.
She recalled seeing Hollywood's "it" couple at the annual gala in a phone interview with NBC’s Today Show, saying:
“Everyone was waiting for Kim Kardashian and Pete.
“I was at the Daily Mail table and we saw them coming in and I went over to them. I know both. Pete and I were on the Justin Bieber roast years ago. That’s when I first met him.”
While awaiting President Joe Biden to address the 2600 journalists in attendance at the event, a Daily Mail photographer snapped this photo of the multimedia businesswoman with Davidson and Kardashian–who made their red carpet debut together on Saturday.
In the photo, people were quick to notice the casual level of intimacy on display, but not between Davidson and Kardashian.

What had social media buzzing was Stewart's next Instagram post, featuring a clip of a young Davidson from the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber, where the homemaker guru said she met the SNL comedian for the first time.
In her caption, she referred to Davidson as a "young upstart" and how after seven years he has grown up and is "squiring gorgeous women around and appearing everywhere."
Followers couldn't help but comment on her adoration of the 28-year-old.

In her Today Show interview, Stewart called Davidson an "adorable guy," adding, "he's funny and nice and pleasant."
She also made sure to mention Davidson's date at the gala.
“And Kim looked gorgeous as usual. Very jealous of her. And we just stood and had our pictures taken.”
And when the show's host Carson Daly asked how Davidson and Kardashian were as a couple, Stewart noted:
“Holding hands, mostly. He’s a very different kettle of fish than [Ye].”
Stewart also touched on the phenomenon of the lanky comedian being romantically involved with attractive women.
“Well, he’s just a skinny, kind of homely, really nice guy,” she said.
“He was cuter when he had the longer, curly hair. If you look at my Instagram you’ll see a little skit he did for me of when we were doing the roast.”
Watch out, Kim.
Martha saw him first.
