Pete Davidson got Kim Kardashian's name branded on his chest 'as a scar,' she says

Kim Kardashian has left her mark on new beau Pete Davidson – literally.

In a clip from an upcoming episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" released Tuesday, the reality star, 41, opened up about her relationship with Davidson, revealing that the "Saturday Night Live" comedian, 28, had "Kim" branded on his chest in her honor.

"He has a few tattoos, a few cute ones that he got," Kardashian says in the episode, which airs April 13. "But this one, the 'Kim' one, isn't a tattoo. It's actually a branding."

Yes, you read that correctly.

"When you say branding, literally an iron thing went onto his body to brand 'Kim'?" DeGeneres asked, with Kardashian confirming. "Well, you are a brand."

Kardashian said Davidson is the process of removing tattoos on his arm and neck but wanted to honor his girlfriend with a permanent marking.

"He's like, 'I don't want to be able to get rid of it or cover it up. I want it there as a scar on me,' " she said.

Of the tattoos Davidson got honoring her, Kardashian said, her favorite reads "My girl is a lawyer."

"That one is really cute," she said.

Kardashian added that her romantic life in a good place with Davidson.

"In life, no matter what it is, I encourage my friends and the people that I love just to be happy. And I went for it," she said. "I was like, 'You know what, I'm in my 40s. Just go for it. Find your happiness.' I went for it, and I took my time. I found it, and it feels so good. I want to hold on to that forever."

Last week Kardashian made her relationship with Davidson Instagram-official with photos that showed the comedian lying on the ground in front of Kardashian as he gazed up at her.

Kim Kardashian talks taking 'high road' with Ye

According to Glamour and Insider, Kardashian and Davidson have been romantically linked since she hosted "SNL" in October, but she's tried to keep their romance out of the spotlight until recently. Still, that hasn't stopped her ex Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) from publicly trashing Davidson.

Hours after the first clip of Kardashian's "Ellen" appearance dropped, Instagram suspended Ye for 24 hours and deleted some content from his profile for violating the company's hate speech, bullying and harassment policies. In one of the removed posts, Ye used a racial slur in a reference to South African comedian Trevor Noah.

Without mentioning Ye's behavior explicitly, Kardashian opened up in a second "Ellen" clip released Thursday, saying she'll always feel protective of her ex and that their kids will always come first. Ye and Kardashian share four children: Psalm, 2; Chicago, 4; Saint, 6; and North, 8.

"No matter what goes on, (Ye's) the father of my kids," she said. "I'll always be protective. I always want my kids to just see the best of the best, so I just try to, as hard as it can be sometimes, I do try to ignore and do whatever's best for my kids. Take the high road."

Kardashian also spoke about navigating personal challenges, saying that she sees hardships as learning opportunities.

"I also think sometimes these are lessons," she said. "As hard as it is, I try to sit still sometimes and say, 'OK, what is this lesson? What am I meant to learn from it, and how can I just get through it, and what is this challenge placed here in my life?' "

One lesson Kardashian's had to learn: not fixate on what other people think.

"I used to care so much about narratives and what's true and what's not true in anything, any subject," she said. But now? "I just live my life the way that I think is right and that I feel is right in my soul and just push forward and do the best that I can," she added.

On March 2, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Steve Cochran granted Kardashian's motion seeking to be declared legally single despite objections from Ye.

Ye's music video for "Eazy," released March 3, featured the rapper reflecting on his divorce and custody battle as he holds what appears to be a bloodied, disfigured head resembling Davidson.
