With past paramours including Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande and Kate Beckinsale, Pete Davidson’s relationship status has made news for years.
He fittingly joked about it during an October 2023 sketch from his “Saturday Night Live” hosting gig. In a parody of Ryan Gosling’s number from “Barbie,” Davidson sang a song called “I’m Just Pete.”
“My dating life is not discrete. I generate tons of publicity. For everything except my comedy,” he sang.
The former “Saturday Night Live” star’s love life has been a topic of discussion ever since he was linked to Grande in 2018. After they got engaged weeks after they started dating, Davidson went on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon“ and joked about how famous he’s become.
“You know you didn’t have to get engaged to Ariana Grande to come on our show,” Fallon joked.
“But I did, though,” Davidson replied.
Though his relationship with Grande didn’t work out, the comedian is now linked to model and actor Elsie Hewitt. The duo made their red carpet debut in May at the 13th Annual Blossom Ball and are now expecting their first child together.
In July, Hewitt shared a photo of Davidson caressing her from behind, as well as a sonogram image of their baby.
“Welp now everyone knows we had sex,” she joked in the caption.
During a 2022 appearance on “Hart to Heart,” Davidson said it was his “dream” to one day become a father.
“My favorite thing ever, which I have yet to achieve is, I wanna have a kid. That’s, like, my dream,” he said. “It’s, like, super corny, but it … would be so fun to dress up the little dude.”

Madelyn Cline
Pete Davidson and Madelyn Cline were spotted out together in October 2023 at a “Saturday Night Live” afterparty.
Rumors of the two being romantically linked started in September of that same year following a report from Us Weekly. However, the couple’s rumored relationship ended by summer 2024.
Reps for Davidson did not respond to TODAY.com’s request for comment at the time.
Chase Sui Wonders
Chase Sui Wonders and Pete Davidson were first linked together when they appeared alongside one another in the 2022 breakout hit “Bodies Bodies Bodies.” The couple played romantic partners in the horror flick and later played a couple again for Davidson’s series “Bupkis.”
Martha Stewart seemingly confirmed that the two were dating in April 2023, when she shared a pic of her with Davidson and Wonders, calling them a “very cute couple” in her caption.
Wonders lent insight into her relationship with the comedian in a May 2023 interview with Nylon.
“We talk about everything, and we are very open with each other about everything, and it feels like what’s happening in our relationship is very sacred,” Wonders explained.
Davidson has also spoken about Wonders. In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” the comedian complimented her acting talent and what she brought to “Bupkis.”
“She’s the best actress,” Davidson said of Wonders. “She’s gonna crush. She’s got a lot of cool stuff going so… I had a blast.”
Emily Ratajkowski
The model and “Gone Girl “actor was linked to Davidson soon after his split with Kim Kardashian. Rumors flew after the two were spotted at a Knicks game together in November 2022.
In April 2023, Ratajkowski touched briefly on their relationship in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
“Even my friends were like, ‘What was that like?’” she told the outlet. “I actually don’t understand it. People are so perplexed by the idea that a man might just be respectful to women and treat them like people and thus be easy to go out on dates with.”
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson shared a kiss onscreen when the reality star hosted “Saturday Night Live” in October 2021 … and a relationship grew from there. After nine months of dating, they called it quits.
“So this is how it went down with Pete,” Kardashian said in a confessional for her Hulu show, “The Kardashians.” “I did ‘SNL,’ and then when we kissed in scene. It was just a vibe and I was like, ‘Oh s—. Maybe I just need to try something different.’ But Pete does not come to my afterparty,” she recalled. “Everyone was at my after-party.”
He “does not give me the time of day,” Kardashian continued. “So a few days later, I called the producer at ‘SNL’ and I was like, ‘Hey, do you have Pete’s number?’ And they were like, ‘Yeah,’ and I text him. I wasn’t even thinking like, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to be in a relationship with him.’ I was just thinking like: Heard about this BDE, need to get out there … I was just basically DTF.”
On Season One, Episode Nine, of “The Kardashians,” Kardashian spoke about their bond with Davidson.
“Pete is such a good, good person. I can’t even explain it,” she said. “He just has the best heart and always thinks of the small things.”
Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson were linked in 2019. Beckinsale confirmed the relationship in an interview with the Los Angeles Times while they were together.
“I’m surprised by the interest,” she said. “I’ve never been in this position before — never dated anybody who comes with their own bag of mischief. It’s all quite shocking, and something to get used to. I think if you liked the person less, you would bow out of it. If that were the main thrust of the relationship, there would be a problem. But it’s not.”
In 2021, amid rumors that he was dating Kardashian, Beckinsale liked an Instagram post of a screenshot of a tweet positing why Davidson has attracted so many women. “Everybody refuses to entertain the possibility that he might have a nice personality,” the tweet read.
Kardashian, on her end, said something similar on “The Kardashians”: “Pete has the best heart. I feel like people have this idea of him that he dates all these hot girls — and he does. (But) he is just the sweetest [and] most thoughtful person.”
Ariana Grande
Davidson and Grande had a whirlwind romance. The pair got engaged in June 2018 after a few weeks of dating and later broke up in October of that same year.
In a July 2019 interview with Vogue, Grande described her whirlwind romance with Davidson the summer before. She said they met after her friends convinced her to move to New York.
“It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and I didn’t know him,” Grande said of Davidson. “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.”
“Pete Davidson” is one of the songs on the 2018 album “Sweetener” — the first song.
The song is about cosmic timing: “I thought you into my life, woah / Look at my mind, yeah / No better place or a time / Look how they align / Universe must have my back.” She calls Davidson her “soulmate” in the song, singing, “My whole life got me ready for you.”
In Grande’s 2019 song, “Thank U, Next,” released after the breakup, sang about her past relationships and mentioned her romance with Davison.
The “Into You” singer sang, “Thought I’d end up with Sean / But he wasn’t a match / Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh / Even almost got married / And for Pete, I’m so thankful / Wish I could say ‘thank you’ to Malcolm / ‘Cause he was an angel.”
She also left a little … hint about her relationship with Davidson in the music video for the song. She’s seen turning the pages of a “burn book,” created in the style of Regina George’s in “Mean Girls.”
Grande had a page dedicated to Davidson and it said, “sry I dipped,” and “I love u always.”
Grande also wrote Davidson’s first name in a heart along with the word “HUUUUGE” at the bottom of the page.
Cazzie David
Davidson dated comedian Larry David’s daughter, writer and comedian Cazzie David. After two and a half years of dating, Davidson, then 24, confirmed they had broken up on Complex’s “Open Late with Peter Rosenberg.”
“We’re not together anymore … very talented girl, she’ll be great and she’ll be fine,” he shared. “Yeah, I think she’ll be okay.”
In her 2020 book, “No One Asked for This,” David opened up about her relationship with Davidson. She said she broke up with him, then tried to reconcile with him days later, according to the Los Angeles Times.
But Davidson told her that he was the “the happiest he had ever been” and ended up breaking up with her two days later in a text message.
