Los Angeles, Aug 6 : Reality TV star Kim Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson have reportedly split after nine months together.

An insider claimed the pair called it quits earlier this week, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"Kim and Pete have decided to just be friends. They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship," the source said.

Kanye and ex-wife Kim had a trial-setting conference on Friday, August 6, and Spector was set to officially withdraw on a date next week, but the judge apparently ended up approving it today, August 06.

The judge informed the court Kanye needed to take action and submit his financial declarations to settle lingering issues or the case would head to trial in December. according to TMZ.

The outlet said: "If Kanye ghosts everyone then in all probability when the case comes before the judge in December Kim will get whatever she wants."
