Tom Holland mistakenly thought Pete Davidson was dating Kris Jenner

With great celebrity comes great obliviousness.

Tom Holland made the ultimate pop culture faux pas when he accidentally said that Pete Davidson was dating Kris Jenner, confusing the momager with her daughter, Kim Kardashian.

During a sit-down with Buzzfeed, Holland, 25, took a quiz asking what zodiac sign Davidson, 28, and Jenner, 66, share.

While the answer is Scorpio, Holland replied, “aren’t they dating each other now?”

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” co-stars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon then correct the star, both replying “that’s her mom” simultaneously before the three break out in laughter.

Zendaya then playfully calls her boyfriend “an idiot” for the mistake.

After several autumn dates in Davidson’s native New York City and Kardashian’s hometown of Los Angeles, Page Six confirmed their blossoming romance in November.

“There’s no formal title,” a source told us at the time. “They’re dating and getting to know each other — still figuring it out.”

During a recent visit to the “Honestly with Bari Weiss” podcast, Kardashian was asked who her favorite “SNL” cast member is, to which she replied, “What a setup! You know who it is.”

As for Tom and Zendaya — who were mildly affectionate throughout the Buzzfeed clip — the pair are still going strong, with Holland recent gushing over his co-star while explaining how she helped him cope with instant fame.

“The biggest way is just companionship, you know, like two friends coming together, experiencing this world, going through the same problems at the same times, having a shoulder to cry on, has been a huge thing for the pair of us,” Holland shared on the red carpet in London.

“We really are a family and, you know, becoming famous at the age of 19, but, this is a different kind of fame,” he continued. “There’s not a corner of the world that ‘Spider-Man’ hasn’t touched. It’s a lot to take in, so it’s really nice for me to have a family to share that with.”
