How does Pete Davidson do it? 6 stunning stars the SNL comedian has dated, from Ariana Grande and supermodel Kaia Gerber to Kate Beckinsale and … Kim Kardashian?
10 celebrities who became BFFs with their exes’ new partners
The emerging narrative seems to be one of bafflement – how did an absurdly modest funny man manage to land dates with famous women in a world of more conventionally attractive Hollywood types?
According to Davidson, the secret to his appeal really isn’t that complicated. He told Paper Magazine, “My love language, when I’m in a relationship, is I treat the person I’m with like a princess.
“I try and go as above and beyond as possible,” he added, “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 it certainly works for him, given his dating history. So exactly who has he gone out with over the years?
Ariana Grande, 2018
After only two months of dating, Davidson confirmed that he and pop superstar Grande were engaged in June 2018. That month, 28-year-old Grande even called Davidson the “most handsome ever” on social media.
Kate Beckinsale, 2019
British actress Kate Beckinsale confirmed their relationship in March 2019, when they were photographed kissing publicly at a New York Rangers game, but the relationship only lasted four months, according to Buzzfeed News.
“I think I was going into another rehab,” Davidson told radio and TV personality Charlamagne tha God. On his split with Beckinsale, he said, “I wasn’t right yet and [Kate] had a lot of acting and work to do. She’s a superstar.”

This week, following online speculation regarding Davidson and Kardashian’s relationship, 48-year-old Beckinsale liked an Instagram post about her ex’s appeal, hinting at what might have drawn her to him.
“I love how every time Pete Davidson starts dating another beautiful celebrity everyone’s like ‘wtf is happening how did he do this what is this mystery???” the post reads. “And everybody refuses to entertain the possibility that he might have a nice personality.”
And there we have it.
Margaret Qualley, 2019
They first sparked rumours in Venice when they were spotted together at the premiere of Qualley’s film, Seberg. Soon after, Qualley’s mum Andie MacDowell confirmed the news during an interview.
“She has a beautiful relationship with him, but I don’t want to step on her relationship too much,” she said about the romance.
The couple called it quits after only a month together.
Kaia Gerber, 2020
“We were dating for a few months,” Davidson revealed in an interview with Charlamagne tha God posted on YouTube.
“She’s very young and I’m going through a lot and it was before I went to rehab,” he said.
“It’s just like, she should be having fun,” he continued. “She shouldn’t have to worry about some dude that just has issues. She should be enjoying her work.”
Phoebe Dynevor, 2021
The 26-year old Bridgerton actress and Davidson made their first official public outing at Wimbledon in July, but their relationship only lasted from February to August, according to Elle.
Insiders blamed conflicting schedules and the pandemic for their split, according to the same source.
“Phoebe has had back-to-back filming dates with Bridgerton in the UK. Meanwhile, Pete has been back in the US filming Saturday Night Live,” Elle reported.
“Obviously all the travel restrictions because of the pandemic have not helped. People can’t just jump on planes and jet around the world when they want to. It has made everything more difficult,” the source added.
