Pete turned around, spotted the candle, and confirmed sheepishly: "Yes, it is."
He added, suppressing a smile: "That is. That is exactly what that is."
The pair had yet to go public with their relationship, though Pete referred to Kim as his "girlfriend" for the first time.
"Most of my daily life is getting into cars and showing up to a set," he said while discussing how fame has impacted his routine.

He added: "Or if I'm off, I just either hang with my friends or chill with my girlfriend inside."
The video has since re-emerged onto , making some wonder if the candle was purposely placed in perfect view of the camera.
One person agreed with the theory, commenting: "the way the candle was placed was quite suspicious.
"it was the first thing I saw during the interview."
A second fan wasn't buying the "act" that Pete put on, saying: "And then he acted like he had to look/didn’t know if there was a Kardashian candle behind him… wowwww ok give me an effing break! Weirdooo."
Another echoed the statement: "I definitely thought this was VERY interesting when I saw this for the first time."
Kim and Pete have since been open about their relationship, as they've gone on numerous public outings together.
FAKE ACCENT?
The Hulu star was also accused of being fake for the cameras as some think she's changed her voice to match the King of Staten Island stars'.
The 41-year-old appeared to have a hint of Pete's accent while joking about marriage in a recent episode of The Kardashians.
Kim - who was born and raised in LA - raised eyebrows with her voice in episode four.
The SKIMS founder was discussing her sister Kourtney and Travis Barker's upcoming wedding with her mom Kris Jenner and their friends Simon Huck and Phil Riportella.
"To me, a baby, you're stuck for life. Marriages come and go," she said before adding, "no offense, guys," to Simon and Phil, who were engaged at the time.
"Take it from me,"; she went on, referring to her three past marriages, and burst out laughing.
She added: "I believe in love, that's why hopefully there will be just one more wedding for me; fourth time's the charm."
A fan shared the scene on Reddit and wrote: "Kinda cute how Kim has started to sound so much like Pete."
Others agreed, with one writing: "Her valley girl voice transformed into a middle-aged woman from Staten Island."
A third posted: "WHOSE F**KING VOICE WAS THAT?!?!?! I’m creeped the hell out. Kim needs an exorcism!"
BI-COASTAL ROMANCE
Kim and Pete don't appear to be messing around as the reality star encouraged her 28-year-old beau to buy a house in Los Angeles.
Friends say, Kim, who is based in Calabasas, is ‘burnt out’ from flying to and from New York, where Pete lives - and needs him to get a place closer to her.
“As loved up as they are right now, there are some question marks looming over the relationship because they’re both so busy,” says the insider.
“It’s hard to make things work when they live on opposite coasts.
“Pete’s considering getting a place close to Kim in LA to make life easy and for him to spend more time there - and Kim is encouraging this. At this stage, him moving to LA full-time wouldn’t happen - his life and a lot of his career is in New York.
