The couple split in 2021 and the divorce was finalised in 2022.

Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021, and was declared legally single earlier in 2022.

The couple had married in 2014 and share four children: North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two.

Davidson joined the cast in 2014 and has appeared in eight seasons. His own personality often outshone the characters he played.

His comic commentaries as himself on “Weekend Update” were often his most viral moments.

And he was as well-known for his life offscreen – dating Ariana Grande and then Kim Kardashian – as on.

It was announced earlier this year that he would be departing from Saturday Night Live.

“I never imagined this would be my life,” Davidson said during the show.

“I appreciate SNL for always having my back, for allowing me to work on myself and grow. Thank you to Lorne for never giving up on me or judging me even when everyone else was, for believing in me and allowing me to have a place I could call home with the memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you.”

He also appeared in the 2021 movie Suicide Squad and features in summer horror movie Bodies, Bodies, Bodies which was released recently in the United States.
