Pete Davidson, the enigmatic comedian from Staten Island, has not only made a name for himself in the world of comedy but also in the realm of high-profile romances. His list of girlfriends reads like a who’s who of Hollywood’s leading ladies, with each relationship adding a new chapter to his intriguing love life.
And although the former Saturday Night Live cast member might be reticent to reveal too much about his girlfriends – ex and present – it doesn’t stop the internet from lusting over the star’s romantic inclinations.
After all, who could blame them? The charming stand-up has been linked to ex-fiancé Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor, Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, Chase Sui Wonders, and Madelyn Cline. And that’s not including his latest fling – model Elsie Hewitt.
While it might seem like Davidson plays along with the intrigue sparked by his celebrity couplings, he’s been pretty candid about how the attention has affected him in the past.
Most recently, the actor spoke with W Magazine about his experience navigating the heartthrob headlines, sharing, “I just want to be known for doing good work. I want to be out there only when it’s movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures. That’s when I want to be seen. I don’t want to be this f***ing loser who just dates people. That’s not who I am.”
All jokes aside, there’s a reason why Pete Davidson and his hyper adoration for his girlfriends gets the tick of approval from us and it has to do with his willingness to date – and be dated – in an all-in way. There’s no denying this Scorpio king’s love language centres his partners and he’s more than willing to admit it.
“My love language, when I’m in a relationship, is I treat the person I’m with like a princess,” he revealed in an interview with Paper Magazine in 2019.
“I try and go as above and beyond as possible, because that’s what you’re supposed to do? If you’re in a relationship with someone, you’re just supposed to make that person feel as special as possible.”
And who could argue with that?
In light of the recent news that Pete Davidson may have jumped back into the dating pool, let’s take a light-hearted stroll down memory lane and explore his girlfriends from past, to present.
Who Is Pete Davidson Dating Now?
A new year, a new addition to the Pete Davidson dating timeline, only when it comes to his latest flame, we’ve witnessed a slight departure from the comedian’s usual A-list dating pool.
The stand-up has been most recently linked to 29-year-old model and actress Elsie Hewitt.
Clearly enjoying their time away from public pressure, the lovebirds were snapped soaking up the sun at Palm Beach during a weekend away.
Although she might appear to be a departure from Davidson’s usual type, Hewitt is still very much a part of the celebrity universe having previously has several high profile relationships herself.
Most recently, the London-born beauty had been linked to fellow funny man Jason Sudeikis, and was also rumoured to have dated Benny Blanco after she appeared in his music video in 2019.
Sources close to the new couple have confirmed to Page Six that the pair are going strong, revealing “[She] is very different from anybody else he’s ever dated before.”
“She respects Pete and his desire for privacy.”
We’ll be keeping our eyes on the prize to see just how long Hewitt stays on the Pete Davidson girlfriends timeline, but we’re betting big on the two of them going the distance.
Pete Davidson Girlfriends: A Complete Dating History
Carly Aquilino: 2015
Prior to Pete Davidson landing in our collective consciousness – and well before BDE was even in the popular vernacular – there was his dalliance we fellow comedian Carly Aquilino.
While not much is known about their low-key relationship, we do know that Davidson’s shotgun engagement to Ariana Grande appeared to stir up some feelings in his ex.
Posting a screenshot of a text she’d received on the day of the announcement that read “I know I’m the 9 billionth person to text you today about this, but… I can’t”.
Aquilino captioned the post: “My day in a text message.” Read that as you will.
Cazzie David: May 2016 – May 2018
To date, Cazzie David – daughter of comedic legend, Larry David – is the comedian’s longest relationship.
The creative couple were first linked in 2016 and spent the next two years together.
Speaking with People soon after the pair went public, Davidson said “I just love her very, very much,” and credited her with helping him through his journey with sobriety and various health struggles. “It wasn’t easy, but I got a great girl, great friends and I consider myself a lucky man.”
Sadly, they weren’t to last, with the stand-up confirming their breakup in a May 2018 interview with Complex: “We’re not together anymore,” he revealed. “Very talented girl, she’ll be great and she’ll be fine. Yeah, I think she’ll be OK.”
While the ex-couple have since been able to overcome their heartbreak and end up as friends, it wasn’t an easy path to get to for Cazzie, whose own experience was later documented in collection of essays titled No One Asked For This.
In the book, David revealed the breakup left her “screaming in agony” when just days after severing the relationship, she found out he’d moved on with Ariana Grande and was “the happiest he’d ever been.”
She admitted she found the thought of the two together torturous and couldn’t shake her mind replaying the two “immediately falling in love, accompanied by audio of her baby voice whispering sweet nothings in his ear, dubbed over his past declarations of love and trust to me.”
Of course, Pete Davidson and Ariane Grande were moved to the girlfriends history book and didn’t last, but it didn’t make it any less real for his ex.
Ariana Grande: May 2018 – October 2018
The whirlwind romance of Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande had the whole world gripped from start, to speedy finish.
Davidson and Grande were first spotted hanging out in May 2018 at a Saturday Night Live after-party, just days before announcing his own break-up from long-term love Cazzie David.
Exhibiting peak Scorpio behaviour, Davidson went for the hard and fast approach, reportedly introducing Ari to his mum days in before confirming engagement news just four weeks later.
Their relationship timeline read like a love story for the ages – only condensed into a five-month period.
Two sets of couple tattoos and one very public emotional rollercoaster later and the flash-in-the-pan partnership was over, with the couple announcing their split in October 2018.
Responding to the relationship breakdown, Grande acknowledged “it was frivolous and fun and highly unrealistic.”
“I loved him, and I didn’t know him. I’m like an infant when it comes to real life and this old soul, been-around-the-block-a-million-times artist. I still don’t trust myself with the life stuff.”
Thank you, next, indeed.
Kate Beckinsale: January 2019 – April 2019
Not one to remain single for long, the next name added to the list of Pete Davidson girlfriends was none other than famed British actress, Kate Beckinsale.
The pair were first spotted together in January, when they reportedly “hit it off” at Netflix’s Golden Globes afterparty in January 2019.
According to People, Davidson was spotted getting cosy with Beckinsale at the party, with one source saying the “literally cuddled up to each other”.
Beckinsale and Davidson enjoyed a fun and flirty few months and weren’t shy about their attraction to each other.
One particular exchange at a New York Rangers hockey game turned into an internet sensation after they were papped packing on the PDA next to Queer Eye’s Antoni eliciting a slew of make-out memes.
As it turns out, the two were in it for a good time, not a long time, and they quietly ended their relationship April 2019.
Margaret Qualley: August 2019 – October 2019
Pete’s next leading lady was actress Margaret Qualley. The couple enjoyed a brief romance, making headlines during the Venice Film Festival where they appeared at the screening for Seberg.
At the time, a source told US Weekly, that the couple was happily dating and planned to make it red carpet official. “They’ve been seeing each other for a couple of months and Margaret is really excited about him,” a source told the publication.
By October 2019, they had amicably parted ways, but not without a few positive reflections from Qualley’s mum – actress Andie Macdowell.
“She has a beautiful relationship with him but I don’t want to step on her relationship too much,” she told People adding, “They have a nice relationship.”
Kaia Gerber: October 2019 – January 2020
Fashion’s favourite nepo baby, Kaia Gerber, enjoyed a brief romance with the stand up star from October 2019 to January of the next year.
During their short lived relationship, they were spotted enjoying the throws of a devoted honey moon period, often snapped packing on the PDA whilst out and about.
But sadly, all with all good things, this too came to an end, and the loved-up pair parted ways after a whirlwind three months.
Reflecting on their brief time together during an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Davidson admitted their breakup came down to timing.
“She’s very young, and I’m … going through a lot and it was before I went to rehab,” he revealed.
“It’s just like, she should be having fun,” he continued. “She shouldn’t have to worry about some dude that just has issues and s***. She should be enjoying her work.”
“It just wasn’t the right place or the right time at all,” he added, before praising her parents Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. “Her parents were really helpful and stuff, so they’re cool.”
Phoebe Dynevor: March 2021 – August 2021
Davidson began dating Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor in March 2021 after the comedian was spotted in Manchester, England.
The pair seemed as happy as could be, even enjoying a very public date courtside at Wimbledon, but the long distance relationship didn’t last long.
Sadly for the cross continent couple, their time ended after just five months, when the conflicting time zones became too much to navigate.
Kim Kardashian: October 2021 – August 2022
Kim Kardashian’s relationship with Pete Davidson was memorable to say the least. Becoming his second longest relationship – ever – Kim was added to the iconic Pete Davidson girlfriends list straight off the bat.
In true form for the reality star, their love life began with an on screen kiss during her SNL appearance, evolving into a full blown love affair soon after.
The cute couple made their red carpet debut at the 2022 Met Gala, where he accompanied the media mogul as she showed off her iconic Marilyn Monroe dress.
Although their partnership was the target of various outside noise via her ex-husband Kanye West and his vitriolic statements about her new beau, the two lasted quite a while, before naturally coming to an end in August 2022.
“There truly wasn’t drama between them when they decided to separate,” a source told Us Weekly at the time. “It was something they talked through; it wasn’t a sudden breakup.”
Emily Ratajkowski: November 2022 – December 2022
Short and sweet, Emily Ratajkowski’s time as a Pete Davidson girlfriend was but a blip in the star’s dating timeline, but no less fun.
The model had previously made her appreciation for Davidson known during an appearance on the Seth Meyers show where she gushed: “He’s got the height…Obviously women find him very attractive.”
“He seems super charming,” Ratajkowski added. “He’s vulnerable. He’s lovely. His fingernail polish is awesome. He looks good!” And, according to the model, the King of Staten Island star also maintains a “super great relationship with his mom.”
I mean, who can blame the girl for wanting to give him a whirl? Certainly not us.
Chase Sui Wonders: January 2023 – August 2023
Following his brief run with Ratajkowski, Davidson dived into a relationship with his Bodies, Bodies, Bodies costar, Chase Sui Wonders.
The two were first linked to each other romantically in January 2023, after photographs emerged of the pair ordering food at a Brooklyn restaurant.
“Pete and Chase Sui have been hanging out and having fun,” a source close to Davidson told People at the time. “It doesn’t seem like a long-term thing though.”
In February of that year, the two appeared besotted with each other, taking their love life into the next gear at the NASCAR Cup Series 65th Annual Daytona 500.
But as much as the pair seemed like a good fit, their time came to an less than a year after they first started dating.
“There’s no bad blood or any hard feelings between them,” a source revealed to Us Weekly at the time. “Their relationship had simply run its course and they decided they just wanted different things.”
Madelyn Cline: September 2023 – July 2024
Not longer after he parted ways with his costar, Davidson started dating another screen siren – Outer Banks‘ Madelyn Cline.
“Madelyn and Pete have been dating for several weeks but have grown close fairly quickly,” an insider told Us Weekly at the time.
The couple remained incredibly private throughout their nearly year-long relationship, keeping things low-key before they eventually ended things in July that same year.
