Earlier in the week, Davidson referred to Kardashian as his "girlfriend" for the first time publicly.

"I don't have Instagram or Twitter or any of that stuff. So, most of my daily life is getting into cars and showing up to a set," he told "PEOPLE (The TV Show!)."

He added, "Or, if I'm off, I just either hang with my friends or chill with my girlfriend inside. So I don't do much."

Davidson took the interview inside his bedroom, where a prayer candle of Kardashian was spotted.

Host Kay Adams asked him, "Is that a Kardashian candle over your other shoulder?"

He confirmed, saying, "Yes, yes, it is. That is. That is exactly what that is."

And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy."

Kardashian continued, "My 40s are about being Team Me. I’m going to eat well. I’m going to work out. I’m going to have more fun, spend more time with my kids and the people who make me happy."
