Kanye West Claims He Hasn't Seen Divorce Papers Despite Estranged Wife Kim Kardashian's Unexpected Romance With Pete Davidson

Kanye West made a desperate plea to stay married to Kim Kardashian shortly after she kissed her rumored new fling, Pete Davidson, on Saturday Night Live.
Stopping by Revolt TV's Drink Champs sometime last month after the beauty mogul's Oct. 7 hosting gig – during which she swapped spit with the 27-year-old comedian as part of an Aladdin-themed sketch – the rapper spoke candidly about his estranged wife, who filed for divorce in February after six years of marriage and four children.
The interview aired Thursday, right after Kim had finished wrapping up her second date with Ariana Grande's one-time fiancé.
Kardashian began getting cozy with Davidson following her first-time appearance on the set of NBC's late-night comedy sketch show, for which West reportedly helped her prepare.
During her opening monologue, the 41-year-old quipped, "When I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing: his personality."
The jab, though in seeming good fun, clearly had an affect on the Yeezy designer.
"SNL making my wife say 'I divorced him' on TV 'cause they just wanted to get that bar off," he complained during his Drink Champs interview, going on to say that he "ain't ever seen the papers. We not even divorced!"
"'Cause that ain't no joke to me," he continued. "My kids want their parents to stay together. I want us to be together."
The couple once known as "Kimye" share daughter North, 8, son Saint, 5, daughter Chicago, 3, and son Psalm, 2.
