Pete Davidson gets a drag makeover from RuPaul following Kaia Gerber split

PETE Davidson got the ultimate makeover on Saturday Night Live as he was transformed into a drag superstar by the one and only RuPaul.

The pair worked together on a skit for the late night sketch comedy show just weeks after Pete made headlines for his split from model Kaia Gerber.

In the sketch, Pete's recurring character Chad was given a full makeover in the hopes that hi character would become the "future of drag."

Chad learnt how to tuck, wear chicken fillets and got his face beat to the gods as part of his transformation.

When his look is completed, it was time for the final challenge.

RuPaul explained: "The look is only half the battle. Now you need to own it.

"Baby, it’s time to feel the fantasy. The time has come for you to lip sync for your life."

The hilarious sketch comes weeks after Pete officially parted ways with his former flame Kaia Gerber in January.

Their split was confirmed on January 14, after it was reported that the two were taking a break while the 26-year-old comedian was focusing on his mental health.

A source close to the couple told Page Six: "It looks like Pete and Kaia are over. It got very overwhelming for Kaia.

"Pete has a certain M.O. and he’s very intense to his girlfriends. Kaia is only 18 and it’s a lot to deal with.”

They dated for just three months.

The couple was last spotted in late December when Pete was seen leaving Kaia's apartment moments after Cindy Crawford and her husband had stepped outside of their daughter's apartment to have a seemingly tense conversation.

Their breakup was on the horizon after multiple sources said that his mental health and struggles with addiction were too much for the young supermodel and a concern for her family and friends.

A source had reportedly told E! News that Pete had checked himself into a "program" which had made it difficult for the two to have any contact.

The same source said Kaia, 18, "doesn't know if she wants to continue in their relationship," especially since she "wasn't comfortable with what she saw and doesn't know if she can handle it.

An insider told the publication: "It became very clear that he had to go and do this and couldn't wait any longer.

"This is his second time seeking treatment, his first being in 2016."

"What she saw happen with Pete was very concerning and scary for her... She cares about Pete and wants him to get better. But their future is very much up in the air."
