AFTER much speculation, Pete Davidson ended up welcoming in the new year solo.
Fans had hoped the SNL funnyman would ring in the new year by sharing a kiss with new girlfriend Kim Kardashian, but she was notably absent from his Miami New Year's Eve special.
As the clock struck 12 in Florida, the SNL star stood besides Miley, 29, and other performers of the night including Saweetie and Jack Harlow.
Following the countdown to midnight, Pete hugged his group of pals on stage but no one present shared a kiss.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashian star was never seen at the Miami bash, despite Pete "inviting" his girlfriend to join him for the holiday.
In fact, he never even mentioned the reality star, nor hinted about their status.
But insiders say don't look too much into the separate celebrations. Word is their growing relationship is "going amazing."
Kim and Pete have grown closer as they cozied up in Los Angeles over the holidays for multiple days. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum was said to have met up with the comic at the Beverly Hills Hotel for a lunch date over the weekend.
