Kim Kardashian 'fully supports' Pete Davidson's decision to quit Saturday Night Live

Kim Kardashian is "fully supporting" beau Pete Davidson's decision to leave Saturday Night Live after seven seasons.

Comedian Pete, 28, officially announced his departure just before the current season's last edition of the sketch show.

And sources say partner Kim, 41, is completely on board with his choice.

An insider told Hollywood Life: "Kim completely has Pete’s back and she thinks he’s making the smartest decision for his career.

"She knows what an incredible opportunity SNL has been for helping to build Pete’s brand, but he has a huge fan base now and can do anything he wants.

The source continued: "She knows he’s been toying with the idea of leaving since before they started dating, but she thinks he made the right call to bow out now.

"He already has a ton of projects lined up and she loves that he’ll have more freedom with his schedule now."

The show is said to have became a burden on Pete as the demanding rehearsal schedule took up a lot of his time, meaning he wasn't able to be a part of other projects.

Despite some fans believing his newfound relationship status is the motive behind his decision, another source told the publication this isn't the case.

They said it was "100 percent" Pete's choice, adding: "Kim has just been doing everything she can to support him through this."

While the pair have appeared at several star-studded events recently, including the Met Gala, Pete wasn't on hand to take in Kim's sister Kourtney Kardashian's wedding to Travis Barker.

However, the SKIMS founder has admitted she had her man close-by thanks to her specific nail design.

She took to Instagram on Monday to show off her hot pink nails from the big day - complete with a letter 'P' (for Pete) made up of crystals.

He was forced to miss the lavish bash as he made his final appearance on SNL and fans were quick to like Kim's image.

In less than 24 hours, almost 8,000 had commented on the snap with one user writing: "You love you some Pete Davidson."

Another replied: "He's still in the picture!"

After showing a selection of wedding pics, Kim was also blasted by fans for allowing her eight-year-old daughter, North, to wear a corset while out and about in Italy amid the wedding celebrations.
